Graveyard Shift

Graveyard Shift, the eagerly awaited new release from bestselling author M. L. Rio, transports readers to a world shrouded in mystery and suspense. The book revolves around a group of individuals brought together by fate, all of whom find solace and intrigue in the college's ancient cemetery as they work the late shift. Each night, the cemetery witnesses the convergence of five disparate souls: a bartender with unspoken dreams, a rideshare driver mapping out more than just routes, a hotel receptionist searching for something beyond monotonous keys and bookings, the enigmatic steward of the abandoned church looming over the gravestones, and the ever-curious editor-in-chief of the college paper, perpetually in pursuit of the next big story. One chilling October evening, their routine is shattered by a disturbing discovery – a fresh, open grave where there should be none. The dark, gaping hole poses immediate questions. Who dug it, and for whom? And more ominously, what secrets does it hide? As they are drawn deeper into the enigma, their paths intertwine with that of a mysterious gravedigger who seems to hold the key to a slew of baffling incidents simmering just beneath the surface of their small town. As the characters pursue the gravedigger through shadows and whispers, they uncover chilling connections that point to a reality far stranger than any of them could have imagined. Atmospheric and undeniably eerie, Graveyard Shift masterfully blends the charm of an old academic setting with the spine-tingling suspense that fans have come to expect from M. L. Rio, renowned for her international BookTok sensation If We Were Villains. This modern Gothic tale is brimming with an ensemble of compelling misfits that readers will adore, each drawn vividly in Rio's distinctive style. A story that threatens to keep one up all night, Graveyard Shift is not merely a book—it's an experience, a journey into the arcane where every page turn brings a new revelation. Prepare to uncover the secrets that bind these unlikely companions and the grave truths lying just beneath the surface.
