A man, Edward, enters a dimly lit, old-fashioned library, clutching a leather-bound book tightly. The librarian, Mr. Langley, greets him with a hesitant smile, eyeing the strange novel. Edward explains he needs to borrow the ancient-looking volume urgently. Both men notice a sudden draft as a heavy oak door creaks shut behind them. They exchange curious glances, aware that something feels ominously wrong. Mr. Langley prints out the checkout slip, but Edward's hand trembles slightly. As Edward leaves, he's oblivious to the librarian's apprehensive whisper, 'Be careful, Edward!' Suddenly, a chilling shriek pierces the silence from the library's dimly lit corners.
