The Book of Doors + Into the Night
The Book of Doors by Gareth Brown is a spellbinding fantasy that begins in a quiet New York bookshop, where Cassie discovers a mysterious volume known as The Book of Doors. This magical artifact opens portals to anywhere in the world—and beyond. What starts as wonder turns quickly dark as Cassie and her friends realize that there are others in the world looking to control these powers for bad. Concepts of possibility, danger, and the infinite nature of stories make this a captivating read, ready for your imagination.
For a novel brimming with hidden passages and unexpected turns, Into the Night is the perfect match. With layers of espresso, fig syrup, vanilla vodka, and the bold bite of Cynar, this cocktail is mysterious, complex, and just a little otherworldly. And that surprising cheesy garnish? A reminder that every door—like every sip—might lead somewhere entirely unexpected.
