The simple written word can hold a surprising amount of power, but who would have thought stringing together chains of letters could harness enough mojo to best a mighty serpent beast or an undead kung-fu warrior?

With another round of literary combat freshly queued up, the second volume is every bit as quirky and obsession-forming as the original.
