The Village Library Demon Hunting Society

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

A funny and original supernatural mystery, for fans of cosy crime infused with whimsy and the paranormal, and readers of The Eyre Affair and The Midnight Library - from the author of A Ruthless Lady's Guide to Wizardry.

Librarian Sherry Pinkwhistle has a knack for solving murders - lots of them. Sometimes she's concerned by just how many killers she's had to track down in her quiet village, though none of her neighbours seem surprised by the rising body count...

But when someone close to Sherry ends up dead, and her cat becomes unexpectedly possessed by an ancient demon as irritating as it is infernal, Sherry decides that it's time for action.

It will be a lesson for murderers and demons alike -

Never mess with a librarian.

'Imagine if Jessica Fletcher worked in a village library and found herself fighting a demonic murderer with an ironic sense of humour, and you have a sense of how original, funny and fantastical this book is.' Freya Sampson

'If you ever thought that all Cabot Cove really needed was a visit from Buffy Summers, this is the book for you.' Juneau Black

'Sherry is the modern-day meta Miss Marple that we all need in our lives.' Mur Lafferty

About the Author

C.M. Waggoner grew up in rural upstate New York, where she spent a lot of time reading fantasy novels in a swamp. She studied creative writing at SUNY Purchase and lived in China for eight years before moving with her husband to Albany, NY. In her spare time, she volunteers, performs kitchen experiments, asks if she can pet your dog, and gardens badly.
