Graveyard Shift: A Novella

By M. L. Rio

Format:Hardcover

The author of sales sensation If We Were Villains returns with a story about a ragtag group of night shift workers who meet in the local cemetery to unearth the secrets lurking in an open grave.Every night, in the college’s ancient cemetery, five people cross paths as they work the late shift: a bartender, a rideshare driver, a hotel receptionist, the steward of the derelict church that looms over them, and the editor-in-chief of the college paper, always in search of a story.One dark October evening in the defunct churchyard, they find a hole that wasn’t there before. A fresh, open grave where no grave should be. But who dug it, and for whom?Before they go their separate ways, the gravedigger returns. As they trail him through the night, they realize he may be the key to a string of strange happenings around town that have made headlines for the last few weeks―and that they may be closer to the mystery than they thought.Atmospheric and eerie, with the ensemble cast her fans love and a delightfully familiar academic backdrop, Graveyard Shift is a modern Gothic tale in If We Were Villains author M. L. Rio’s inimitable style.

Das Thema ist super interessant aber nicht genug ausgearbeitet. Vor allem das Ende ist sehr abrupt. Die Story hätte bestimmt 400-500 Seiten füllen können und das Ende wäre weniger verwirrend gewesen.

Die Story ist klein aber fein und bringt eine Menge Spannung mit sich. Vor allem die Erzählweise aus den unterschiedlichen POVs funktioniert sehr gut und haucht den Figuren Leben ein. Auf den knapp 100 Seiten schließt man Edie, Tuck, Tamar, Theo und Hannah schnell ins Herz und fiebert mit ihnen mit. Schaurig!
