This may overlap with AnimateInanimateObject if the book in question happens to be an animate object, and also with BrownNote if the information contained in a book kills the reader directly.

Compare TomeOfEldritchLore, which is when a book contains dark prophecies or spells, but is otherwise not actively harmful to its reader. Also compare BooksThatBite, when the books are dangerous {{Animate Inanimate Object}}s, and ThrowTheBookAtThem, which is when books are being used as physical weapons. If the book plays a role in kicking off the plot then it's a PlotTriggeringBook.

* The eponymous notebook in ''Franchise/DeathNote''. It does not kill the reader, but anyone whose name is ''written'' into it will die, so long as the writer is thinking of their face while writing. Those who write their name in will also have no afterlife, [[spoiler:[[ExactWords but that has nothing to do with the book]]. This setting ''has'' no afterlife.]]
