A collection of short horrors

You ascend the ladder into your attic space and grab the box your parents told you to get, it was supposed to be a box of old photos from when they were little kids. Grabbing the box you carefully bring it down, setting it onto the floor. Curiosity fills your mind and you open a flap to the box expecting some old silly photos, but instead you're met with a leather book. You pull open the other flap getting a good look at the book, it looks as if someone stitched animal skins to the cover, a small note is taped to the front. 'do not open'. You pick up the book and set it by the ladder taking the box to your parents. Later that evening you return to your room the book laying on your side table where you had brought it a short while ago. Flipping open the pages you are met with a warning...'Do NOT under ANY circumstance read this book all who will read will become one with all who have perished'.

Do you choose to read?
