Glitches

Even when players have read the book and killed the lurker in Skyrim Black Book – Untold Legends, there are instances when they reach the last chamber and try to take the alternate route. However, the winding hallway never moves for them.

To ensure that you appear there if you leave, you should always touch the book once you are there. In this manner, the game assumes that you have reached the end but spawns you somewhere because you reset without touching it.
