Graveyard Shift was a quick in-between read. At only around 3 hours of audio, it was a no-brainer for a gothic fan.

However, I found the whole thing a little hard to grasp hold of. There are a lot of characters for such a short story, which means there’s not much room for actual story because we need to get to know them.

I listened to the audiobook so some of the voice actors weren't my favourite. It made it hard to grasp hold of the character's age and personality.

Loved the gothic vibes, and the writing is great. I just felt the story couldn’t have the impact it needed because there were too many moving pieces.
