"This place has everything—rats, fungus, thrills, chills, mysteries, hostile incidents—and M.L. Rio deftly weaves it all together into a short, sweet (okay maybe not that sweet) story. A rad, crisp, creepy read."
—Chuck Wendig, bestselling author of Black River Orchard and The Book of Accidents

“Like all M. L. Rio's work, Graveyard Shift is shot through with cool, heavily dosed with ennui, and dense with people-pleasures. Within this tangled skein of complicated characters (ranging from sweetly unhinged to truly problematic), 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, bestselling author of Atlas Six

“Graveyard Shift is wonderful - dark, strange and hair-raisingly tense - it spills over with atmosphere, full of flawed, fascinating characters. I raced through it.”
—Catriona Ward, bestselling author of The Last House on Needless Street

“[A] satisfying follow-up to If We Were Villains. . . Rio stuffs a plethora of surprises into her concise narrative without skimping on character development. This packs a punch.”
—Publishers Weekly

“An eerie, creepy and atmospheric quick read.”
—CapesandTights.com

“A 144 page shivery tale.”
—Parade, Parade’s Best New Book Releases This Month

“Graveyard Shift is a cool, quick, creepy read that makes you wonder what ramifications poorly tested therapies or rushed science can have on the human race.”
—Fresh Fiction

“Quite entertaining. Rio brings her characteristic beautiful prose to the book, which revels in small details and character quirks. . . Rio is sure to please the dark academia cult following that she established with her earlier novel.”
—The Harvard Crimson
