- medical gothics that give “things in jars” energy and are Frankenstein-esque
- dark academia that looks at sketchy research practices, connections and impacts on human nature
- reflections on sleep and insomnia

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

As a fellow insomniac, I felt for those inside of Graveyard Shift. We travel through one eventful night in a small college town with a rag-tag group of town misfits. Each of these individuals has a few things in common, the one that brings them together on this fateful evening is their smoking habit. They go to the run-down, abandoned cemetery, as they always do and they find a 6 ft deep surprise.
From there I had a fun time reading more about their hour breakdowns through the night working on discovering why there was this potential gravesite and the dark twisted happenings within their community. They uncover more than they bargain for as they work together to understand what this means for others in their town and potentially beyond.
This novella had me on my toes from the first few minutes of listening. This is a gripping novella that didn't need much lead time for me to truly understand the suspense and creepy feelings I would experience while reading. A perfect read to add to your yearly fall or Halloween-themed reading adventures!
