This feels like part of a larger story. The plot and characters were great, there should just be more of it. It could seriously be a fave if it was like twice as long.

Amazing horror novella! 
The mystery and the characters were very alluring and exciting! 
Also I loved the little queer subplot <3.

this was a very interesting read. but i agree with what ive seen a lot of people say, its far too short for the story within. it needed a lot more substance. 
this was my 2nd read of october, and after my first read not ending up being horror, i was hoping this would satisfy that. but again, nothing scary. just a bit intense and weird and a tad too scientific for me. a lot of things left unsaid. it was very good and the writing is beautiful. but i think if i had read "if we were villains" first, which i havent yet, i wouldve been much more disappointed

A juicy novella-sized bite of mystery noir. The saying nothing good happens after midnight rings true when this odd group of insomniacs stumble upon something out of place at the cemetery. It’s like if you gave the Scooby gang some Marlboro reds and access to JSTOR.

ALSO, you know I’m impossible to please when it comes to fictional librarians, but this is how you do it!
