Dick Award–winning author Meg Elison “The Library of the Unwritten is a story about stories: ones we tell ourselves, the ones we tell others, and the ones buried so deep we hope no Unmissable and unforgettable prepare to read the Unwritten.” -Philip K. It’s as unforgettable as your first taste of chocolate or your first glimpse of Hell. With a masterful sense of the canon that is and the canon that never was, Hackwith has presented the world with a flashing, flaming jewel of a book. Put coins over your eyes and climb aboard with your library card in hand this book will take you where you need to go. A baroquely imagined and totally unexpected original take on such well-worn topics as Hell, libraries, and the difference between what never was and what never will be. A new voice rises in the jewel-toned arena of Valente, Gaiman, and Funke. An erudite and engaging pleasure cruise through Hell. A book lovers’ book a supreme and masterful concoction that makes fresh fiction out of dusty Dante and boring Bible bits.

An unforgettable, crave-worthy experience. The read is rich and robust, the prose has layers upon layers, and the characters melt like ganache upon the tongue. What follows is a delightful and poignant fantasy adventure that delivers a metric ton of found-family feels and reminds us that the hardest stories to face can be the ones we tell about ourselves.” -New York Times bestselling author Kit Rocha “The Library of the Unwritten is a tiered dark chocolate cake of a book.
