The opening of a book found in the basement of the small private library that had been a church, opens the world to creatures from another dimension. A creature with no mouth utters the words that begins the transformation of the world around Claudia, her sister, Clarissa, and her best friend Silvia. Claudia can see the creatures from the other world as they work at entering hers. The three friends had started their summer by looking at the old books in the basement of the library. Claudia figures out how to make a key for an old and ancient looking, locked cabinet. The cabinet comes open, but they realized that it had been an airtight seal. There is only one book in the huge cabinet. It locked but a key is on the same shelf as the book. The first page is adorned by a gargoyle with luminous eyes on a snarling face. Subsequent chapter each had weird figures drawn around the margins. The translation of the first chapter indicated it was a way to open the door to time and space. It was written in an ancient Egyptian script. Claudia practices saying the strange word written on the first page. There is an immediate change in the room and the mouthless creature appeared and floated through Claudia and went up the basement stairs. The other world slowly vaporizes the neighborhood where the three live. They begin to slowly become shadows of themselves. It is clear that they are being erased. The creatures from the other side are beginning to make their appearance. Claudia reads the phrase that closes the door, and the world becomes whole again. The three friends leave the book sealed in the cabinet and walk home. They do not see the old man that had established the library walk away with the book. The three are focused on their upcoming cruise to the Bahamas. The Book of Time and Space will someday again be opened.
