The bestselling author of international BookTok sensation If We Were Villains returns with a
gripping mystery surrounding a group of misfits who meet in the local cemetery each night.
Every night in the college's ancient cemetery five people cross paths as they work the late
shift: a bartender a rideshare driver a hotel receptionist the steward of the derelict
church that looms over them and the editor-in-chief of the college paper always in search of
a story. One dark October evening in the defunct churchyard they find a hole that wasn't
there before. A fresh open grave where no grave should be. But who dug it and for whom?
Before they go their separate ways the gravedigger returns. As they trail him through the
night they realize he may be the key to a string of strange happenings around town that have
made headlines for the last few weeks--and that they may be closer to the mystery than they
thought. Atmospheric and eerie with the ensemble cast her fans love and a delightfully
familiar academic backdrop Graveyard Shift is a modern Gothic tale in If We Were Villains
author M. L. Rio's inimitable style. ' Graveyard Shift is shot through with cool . . . Rio
presents a world of nihilistic macabre only to strip it back painting the gruesome with a
softer brush and her singular gift for portraiture.' Olivie Blake ' Graveyard Shift is
wonderful-dark strange and hair-raisingly tense. It spills over with atmosphere full of
flawed fascinating characters.' Catriona Ward 'A rad crisp creepy read.' Chuck Wendig
