The Book With No Name The Eye of the Moon The Devil's Graveyard The Book of Death
The first book in the series, The Book With No Name, was initially published on the internet due to a lack of interest from publishers.[3] The author stated that this was due to him refusing to give the publishers his name as well as the book not fitting into any specific genre.[1] In an interview with L'Express the author mentioned that he had begun working on a fourth book in the series entitled The Book of Death, but temporarily shelved it due to the writing process becoming too unpleasant.[1] The book was later published in France due to a successful Facebook campaign by fans of the author. It was subsequently published in German, English and Spanish. Sales of the books exceed 3 million copies. .
