Description
Arthur Pendergast likes his solitude, which is precisely why he cherishes his role as the graveyard-shift librarian at the historic St. Jude’s Archive. Surrounded by flickering fluorescent lights and the scent of aging parchment, Arthur finally feels at home in his own skin, embracing his transition while keeping the world at arm’s length. But the archives hold secrets far older than the books on the shelves, and Arthur soon discovers that he isn’t the only one roaming the stacks after midnight.
When Julian, a charismatic and hopelessly charming ghost from the 1920s, manifests in the rare books section, Arthur’s quiet life is upended. Julian is vibrant, mischievous, and—strangely enough—the first person to truly see Arthur for who he is. As the two grow closer, defying the boundaries of life and death, they must unravel the mystery of a dark, lingering curse threatening to dissolve the sanctuary of the archive forever.
The Night Shift Librarian is a heart-warming blend of spectral intrigue and tender romance. It explores the courage of self-discovery and the joy of finding connection in the most unexpected places. Perfect for readers who enjoy cozy mysteries paired with a slow-burn, paranormal queer love story.
