Description

'Creepy cryptids, a compelling slow burn romance, and corporate humour blend together perfectly in this excitingly unique debut... (Mostly) Human Resources is a must read' Mallory Marlowe, USA Today bestselling author of Love and Other Conspiracies

'Viall's debut is a tongue-in-cheek delight, pulling from multiple genres to create a tale that is both unsettling and cosy... Five creepy stars!' Brigitte Knightley, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Irresistible Urge to Fall For Your Enemy

Amongst mountains as old as time, the jackalopes and ghouls are the least of your worries…

At Entity - the organisation responsible for managing the world's monsters - Alexys is perfectly happy honouring her late father's legacy from behind a desk, far from anything with teeth. But when she heads into the Appalachian Mountains for a routine review with her newly assigned Warden, Elliot, she finds… nothing.

Elliot has vanished. And after his reports of sightings of a never-recorded creature, Alexys can't ignore the danger he might be in. Against all her instincts, she pushes deeper into the mountains to find him.

Nic, Entity's ambitious (and irritatingly charismatic) Director of Research & Cataloguing, refuses to let the chance to investigate an undocumented monster pass him by. And if joining the search means annoying his favourite work-nemesis, he's already lacing his boots.

But as Alexys and Nic descend into the ancient Appalachians, they begin to learn why some monsters stay unrecorded… and why no one should wander these mountains after dark.

The first instalment of a new cosy and creepy series following the employees of Entity, where not every monster stays in the shadows – and survival is never guaranteed.

Having been raised on the edge of the Appalachian…

"Welcome to (Mostly) Human Resources – in which the bureaucracy and the spooks are equally frightening. Viall's debut is a tongue-in-cheek delight, pulling from multiple genres to create a tale that is both unsettling and cosy – whimsical horror, if I had to give it a name. The Appalachian ambience and aesthetics are hauntingly delicious. The romance is tender, yet snarky, featuring protagonists who can't stand one another (my favourite dynamic!) unwillingly finding love whilst hunting for things that go bump in the night. Five creepy stars!"

Brigitte Knightley, Sunday Times bestselling author of THE IRRESISTIBLE URGE TO FALL FOR YOUR ENEMY
