The Danger of Reading: Living Ink.

Mortimer «Mo» Folchart, interpretado por Brendan Fraser, comparte con su hija Meggie, de doce años, la afición por la lectura. Juntos tienen un talento poco común: cuando leen en voz alta, los personajes de los libros cobran vida. Mo viaja con la niña a una vieja librería de Europa, aunque en secreto busca un ejemplar concreto. Dentro de la tienda, Mo oye voces que no escuchaba desde hace años. Al reconocer de qué libro proceden, siente un escalofrío. Poco después, fuera del local, Meggie se topa con una criatura con cuernos que intenta morderle los dedos. La película está dirigida por Iain Softley.
