Bosks

Bosks are a fictional species originating from the novel "The Starless Sea" by Erin Morgenstern. They are described as small, furry creatures that inhabit the sprawling, labyrinthine library that serves as a central location in the story. Bosks are not actively characters in the narrative but are part of the world-building, contributing to the magical and whimsical atmosphere of the library. Their appearance is generally depicted as diminutive and endearing, often seen scurrying through the stacks or nestled amongst the books. The specific nature and purpose of Bosks within the library's ecosystem are left somewhat ambiguous, adding to their enigmatic quality. They seem to be a natural, if unusual, part of the environment, akin to how mice or insects might inhabit a real-world building, but with a touch of the fantastical. Their presence is a subtle detail that enhances the reader's immersion in the extraordinary setting.
