Old Farts — Vera Nazarian

Everyone knows that bookstores are such enticing places, filled with the complex scent of newly printed and antique books, periodicals, freshly ground coffee, and infinite possibilities. Wonders, secrets, and delights lurk among the stacks...

And yet, few know the real truth.

Bookstores conceal unimaginable dangers!

This very short story by two-time Nebula Award Finalist Vera Nazarian packs a very literary punch.
