The Book With No Name

Has anyone else read The Book With No Name by Anonymous?
It's all about a book with no name by an anonymous author, and everyone who reads it dies shortly afterwards. I'm halfway through it now, and just wanna know if anyone else has read it and lived to tell the tale !!!! lol

Sounds really gimmicky and self-conscious.

I read it recently. I thought it was one of the most original books I've ever read, and very scary too!!! It was a bit like The Ring, only instead of everyone being killed after watching a video, they all get offed after reading The Book With No Name. Found it here on amazon after reading about how Borders won't stock it cos it's in bad taste. Ha!

How cool! I went right to Amazon and ordered it, the reviews on Amazon hooked me! Plus it is one of those free shipping deals, couldn't resist.

And if anyone finds out who the author is let me know. There's probably clues in the book if it's someone famous, but I'm damned if I could spot any.
