Inside a crate of assorted junk, Ben Taylor finds a small, mysterious wooden box. It's etched with words in a language he doesn't understand. But the written note attached to it is clear: Do. Not. Open. Yet he cannot resist the urge to lift the lid ... Ben never expected something so evil, dark and powerful would be lurking inside. Soon, strange and terrible things begin to happen: his employee gets attacked by an obscure figure, his wife hurts herself badly during work, people start to act abnormally around him and death follows him like the plague ... Clearly Ben's curiosity has unleashed something sinister on the world, and on himself. But what -- or who -- will he have to sacrifice to get it back in the box?"-- Provided by publisher.
