"The bookshop offers people knowledge, and it feeds from what you learn. It draws some people into itself because it recognises them as like, or because it wants to learn more about them. But everyone, whether they come to the Bookshop again and again, or just once, everyone must make a payment for the knowledge they have taken. Even you, Brandon. Even you."
An entity was born into smoke and rage, a destructive force that was bound into a Bookshop, sentient, feral, and hungry. It offers knowledge and power, enough to fulfil your wildest dreams, but there is always a price. Payment will always be due.
The Black Cat Bookshop is a Gothic Horror story that explores what it is to find knowledge, and if it is really worth the price, in the end.
