The Strange Library
内容简介
'All I did was go to the library to borrow some books'.
On his way home from school, the young narrator of The Strange Library finds himself wondering how taxes were collected in the Ottoman Empire. He pops into the local library to see if it has a book on the subject. This is his first mistake.
Led to a special 'reading room' in a maze under the library by a strange old man, he finds himself imprisoned with only a sheep man, who makes excellent donuts, and a girl, who can talk with her hands, for company. His mother will be worrying why he hasn't returned in time for dinner and the old man seems to have an appetite for eating small boy's brains. How will he escape?

我还是觉得不安。迷魂阵的问题点，在于你若不走到尽头，就不会知道那选择是正确还是错误。而当你走到底，发现是错的时候，却已经太迟了。这就是迷魂阵的问题点。
