This story is unputdownable. It's fascinating, how Alexander is so obsessed with reading mystery/horror novels, and how he ends up buying that novel. My favorite part is when he has to open the book and use a certain substance with the fountain pen to open it, I thought that part was very creative and I could really imagine it and feel grossed out as I read through that part of opening the book. It's creepy and filled with horrific moments especially as Alexander sort of transmigrates, and that's what I call a good horror book if it gives off that vibe and you're able to really find the lines between fantasy and reality. Well done! I will only take off half a star for some writing quality problems, such as the wrong word choice, or small errors/typos.
The set pace of the story and immersion is good, and the story concept is certainly not the mainstream and unique thus attracting readers right in. The only problem which I seem to find is the abrupt shift in the first-person and third-person narrative but that could be just my opinion may be fair to others. Keep it up Author, never stop dreaming.
