The Last Catalogue

When a failing bookshop in Bangor begins receiving titles that have not yet been written, its owner discovers the books are changing the people who read them. Each volume seems to predict a different future for the town, and the simplest way to keep the shop open is to keep selling them. The trouble is that some futures are better left unopened.
