Grave Yard Shift

New with remainder mark. Hardcover

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.
