Welcome to the Boneyard Book Journal
In the dimly lit corners of the ancient library, there lurked a creature unlike any other - a book consuming ghoul. With an insatiable appetite for knowledge, this shadowy figure roamed the endless rows of shelves, its sharp eyes scanning for its next literary feast.
Pages rustled as the ghoul snatched a tome from the shelf, clutching it tightly to its chest. The smell of aged paper and ink filled the air as the creature delved into the words, devouring each sentence with fervor. It was said that the mere touch of its fingertips could bring life to the most mundane of texts, breathing magic into the words on the page.
Whispers among the library patrons spoke of encounters with the elusive book ghoul - some claimed to have seen flashes of its glowing eyes peering out from behind tall stacks of books, others swore they heard its low, guttural growls echoing through the halls late into the night.
But despite its eerie reputation, the book ghoul was not feared by those who truly understood its nature. For within its dark, shrouded form lay a profound love for the written word, a relentless thirst for the stories and secrets held within the covers of each book it devoured.
And so the book ghoul continued its endless quest through the labyrinthine corridors of the library, forever in search of new tales to consume, new worlds to explore. A guardian of knowledge, a keeper of stories - the enigmatic ghoul remained a mysterious and fascinating figure, forever entwined with the boundless magic of the written word.

The Sleep Experiment (Book 2 of World’s Scariest Legends)
Book overview from blurb on Amazon:
In 1954, at the start of the Cold War, the Soviet military offered four political prisoners their freedom if they participated in an experiment requiring them to remain awake for fourteen days while under the influence of a powerful stimulant gas. The prisoners ultimately reverted to murder, self-mutilation, and madness.
None survived.
In 2018, Dr. Roy Wallis, an esteemed psychology professor at UC Berkeley, is attempting to recreate the same experiment during the summer break in a soon-to-be demolished building on campus. He and two student assistants share an eight-hour rotational schedule to observe their young Australian test subjects around the clock.
What begins innocently enough, however, morphs into a nightmare beyond description that no one could have imagined—with, perhaps, the exception of Dr. Roy Wallis himself.
