Grave Yard Shift

Hardcover. This book is new with remainder mark but shipped to me slightly loved on the corner and will be discounted. 

M.L. Rio's novella, Graveyard Shift, follows five disparate night-shift workers in a college town who gather in the cemetery for their breaks and stumble upon a freshly dug, empty grave. Led by ambitious journalist Edie, the group investigates this mystery, which connects to a string of peculiar events and possibly an experimental insomnia cure involving dead rats and a mysterious man in black. The novella unfolds over a single night, offering a fast-paced, atmospheric modern Gothic tale with interconnected character perspectives and themes of ambition, scientific ethics, and insomnia, though the ending may leave some readers wanting more closure.
