Mike Carey (\u003ci\u003eLucifer\u003c\/i\u003e) and Peter Gross (\u003ci\u003eThe Books of Magic\u003c\/i\u003e) deepen their acclaimed literary fantasy with a meditation on myth, authorship, and the power structures behind narrative itself.

As Tom Taylor’s journey grows more turbulent, the boundaries between fiction and history distort, revealing a world where legends, literature, and collective memory can be twisted by those who understand their power.

Along the way, they encounter an Aussie detective by the name of Didge Patterson investigating a string of occult disappearances and a world of Fables, where denizens of myth and legend seek help against a force of pure darkness.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Unwritten Compendium Two\u003c\/i\u003e collects \u003ci\u003eThe Unwritten\u003c\/i\u003e #31, #31.5, #32, #32.5, #33, #33.5, #34, #34.5, #35, #35.5, and #36-54, as well as \u003ci\u003eThe Unwritten: Apocalypse\u003c\/i\u003e #1-12. | \u003cb\u003eMike Carey\u003c\/b\u003e is an acclaimed British writer known for blending genre storytelling with literary ambition.
