The Librarian of the Haunted Library: A Supernatural Suspense Horror Comedy
Demons, Headless seductresses, Rip Van Winkle, witches, occasional visits from angels, a god or two, and a ghoul in the stacks – just another day in Eden. A fun, fast, fantastical read.
My escape from a creepy clown lands me in a town straight out of a fever dream. And guess what? I become the new librarian after my predecessor is murdered ( a not uncommon end for librarians I find out too late) right in front of me. My first task is to find the killer.
Shouldn’t be too hard since it happened right in front of me, right? Wrong. The suspects are a town full of Supernatuals, including but not limited witches, magicians, ghosts, a werewolf, a grumpy gargoyle, a zombie, a mad scientist and four teenagers.
Did I mention that I might be the Chosen One according to some people in the know? Unfortunately, in this case Chosen One means the one destined to bring about the apocalypse. Guess whose son that makes me?
Can I solve the murder, save the town, and avoid fulfilling my doomsday destiny? Find out in this hilarious comedy adventure where the laughs are loud and the stakes are high! Read book 1 today!

About the author
Brian Yansky
26 books101 followersI write dark comedy horror (with some silly parts and satire), humorous urban fantasy and SFF( also with some silly parts and satire).
I’ve published five traditionally published works of fiction and ten independently. I love many kinds of stories. I especially love off-beat, quirky stories with unusual characters and settings that have a sense of wonder and humor.…Falling in love with stories saved me from a life of crime (I’m only sort of kidding; they did save me from something). A lot of my main characters are adopted. Like them, I was adopted. I seem to write often about identity. I live in Austin, Texas. I have no horses or cowboy hats. I do have a 125 pound sheep dog. I’ve taught college, been a bartender and waiter and am now a full-time writer. I have hitch-hiked all over America, Mexico, and other places. I have a black belt in Taekwondo. Helps with my action scenes. I’m married. I love writing novels and stories (have published over 15 stories: Glimmer Train and other magazines), but I like writing most anything. My grocery lists are excellent.

4.25 stars ...
Let me start by sayin' ... I thoroughly enjoyed this quirky, odd, and twisted ("original"!) tale and very much look forward to the rest of the series! 👍😁👍
Now let me vent. 🤨 To those who read this expecting a mainstream ("predictable") story, did not get that, and then proceeded to trash the book and author when it didn't turn out to be mainstream and predictable, shame on you. The fact that you had preconceived notions, and didn't make the slightest attempt to vet the book (and/or author) before indulging, puts the blame on you ... not the author. The first line of the author's bio says, "I write dark comedy horror (with some silly parts and satire), humorous urban fantasy and SFF (also with some silly parts and satire)." That's exactly what this is! Were you expecting something else? 🤷♂️
From the author's end note ...
I did hitch-hike across this country many times in my youth, and worked in a library for nearly a decade. I was adopted, and I do live in a city whose motto is “keep it weird”, which are words to live by. I’m not saying I’m strangely qualified to write this story but I am saying I’m strangely qualified to write this story. Thank you for reading. I am grateful to find readers who seem to have the same kind of twisted (I mean unusual) sense of humor as I do.
Again ... that's precisely what this is! And it's delicious! The only reason I'm not giving this 5 stars is that I fully expect the series to get even better as it goes along. ⭐⭐⭐⭐

I don’t even know what that was
This was super hard to get through, none of it made sense & was so rushed with almost no detail. Characters popped out of nowhere totally out of context, a year would pass in a single 5 word sentence. I’m not even sure what I just read. The plot sounded INCREDIBLE so I’m really sad this fell so flat for me.

This wasn't very good. It needed another run through by an editor.

This book is written with absolutely no details and made very little sense

Fun and absurd about sums it up.
December 13, 2023
This book is what I imagine a fever dream is like. It had the vibes of Alice in Wonderland, only the Mad Hatter is the main character. I almost put it down after all the grammatical errors but decided I’d give it a chance. Though it was weird it was the kind of weird that kept me interested and was an easy fun read.

Haunting Eden town when you get lost you end up in Eden loved it 🎃
May 6, 2024
This was a quick and easy book to get through. It was very quirky and made me laugh out loud many times. I’m sure the author intended this because he made this into a series. The best part about this is that the books can be read as standalone.
I’d suggest this if you need a quick read in between books where you don’t have to pay heavy attention to detail, BUT it is enjoyable when you do.
The story follows a 25 year old man who gets lost in the woods, and one thing leads to another and he becomes the librarian to a VERY small town near some mountains. I enjoyed the story and the narration done by our mmc.
4/5 stars

Very disappointed. Random thoughts, dropped in characters with no follow through, no connectivity with the plot line. Sorry I wasted my time.

This book was nonsensical & I loved it
I can understand why some people find this book challenging it is somewhat as one reviewer said “like following someone with ADHD around” but that was part of its charm for me. I love how quirky and silly it was, I loved how I could never tell where the plot was going, I really liked our main character Kevin and it was a quick and easy read. I’m looking forward to reading the others!

Oddly fun read
Who doesn't love a haunted library and a good mystery? It was an entertaining fun read once the book started getting into things.

The first 10% was good. The next 10% was just talking in circles with other people. Not my idea of fun.
August 21, 2024
This book was just odd. Don't waste your time.

Odd Thomas style
Why write what everyone else. This was funny, interesting, and full of character. Could use more action scenes, but cleverly woven.

this was an entertaining and quirky paranormal mystery comedy series
This was an entertaining and quirky paranormal mystery series. An odd cast of characters with a unique storyline. A young man with some unique abilities is traveling the country helping where he can. When one day something happens and he gets lost in the woods. He ends up in a small rural town With only a couple hundred people live in there. No cars no roads at least paved roads. And a haunted forest surrounding it. Read on and see what happens and how he ends up here and what happens once he gets there. It’s humorous it’s paranormal and it’s a bit quirky it is entertaining. Check it out

Not a book I could relate to
Reading this book was not unlike reading Alice in Wonderland. Lots of nonsense characters. I was not enjoying it. I ended up skimming it just to get it over with.

Story line had potential but
Disappointment. Story like random thoughts that while follow a lose pattern it is not complete. Like author had some specific statements to make. Once made, he was done. Story not necessarily complete thought . Felt disconnected.

Had potential with a clever storyline. But OMG so much nonsense. Not very well written. I gave up on my free editing service halfway through because there were so many errors and comments I needed to make. 2.5 stara
December 25, 2023
Hopefully the author makes a better effort with his next book. Has potential. Would have enjoyed the book more if it didn't have so many mistakes with names, grammar etc.
May 22, 2024
I appreciate what the author was trying to accomplish, but I found his writing to be very flat. A good editor might be helpful.

This book is like a fever dream. A weird, nonsensical one that keeps you wondering 'What next?!' every step of the way. And at the end of it all, you're left shaking your head in disbelief because somehow, somewhere along the way, the impossibly strange became illogically sensible and you just 'get it all.'
Welcome to Eden ladies and gents. A town full of witches and demons, hellhounds and angels, as well as more the occasional ghost and one sexy headless lady.
I personally wouldn't want to even visit, let alone become the Librarian, like Kevin.
A homeless young man with no relatives or friends, Kevin is the kind of hero who can handle himself in a fight, is used to seeing ghosts and fighting witches, talk to Gods or walk through haunted woods, and get beaten up by clowns. (The real kind of red nosed circus clowns.) And he is sort of pushed into accepting the Librarian ring after its previous owner is poisoned.
Being a librarian is a job I used to dream of, but I'd probably run like hell if someone thought to offer me that particular post Kevin took. Not because the librarian takes care of the murders, or because of the dangerous stash in the basement. Not even the resident ghost would make me bat an eyelash, and self-sufficient books that can be loaned only if they agree to, are quite the delight. But daddy dear is not worth it, and shape shifting demons ordered to kill you are not fun at all. I'll also set my foot down and draw the line at sexy headless women that men would totally sleep with. 😂
No. That's not on page. Don't worry. It's just clearly inferred. :D
All in all, this was a twisted, fun tale, a bit (make that a lot) on the unhinged side. Can't say it was a favourite, but I did enjoy it.

Welcome to Eden
This was such a fun book to read. The narrative style is unique. Yansky advances the story with sly little tricks and nudges it along in clever, interesting ways. Seemingly off-hand comments, on closer inspection, add layers of explanation and depth.
The setting is also great fun. Eden is an isolated, sequestered area whose denizens are a collection of the lost and unusual. It wanders on the fringes of the edges of the world, occasionally intersecting with it but is clearly a separate place with its own rules.
And what about “our” world? We get glimpses of it which show us that our world is much more supernatural than we believe. There is a matter of fact acceptance that the supernatural coexists naturally with the mundane.
If that wasn’t enough there are wars and rumors of wars between the forces of good and evil. Light and dark. This is a world where religions and pantheons coexist and gods drop in to visit and are largely ignored.
And our Librarian seems to be the center of it all. We’ll need to read the later books in the series to learn more.
Oh yeah! And it turns out that this is actually a mystery! And there is a nascent romance waiting to blossom.
Like I said, this was a fun book to read!
Cheers!

Nice
Overall (for the whole series), 3.5 stars. I gave 4 because I didn't want to lower the ratings, but there are some issues that made me lower my own rating.
First, the editing could be improved. Not enough errors to make it bad, but just enough to be slightly disturbing so sometimes (and I'm not even a native english speaking, so there could be some I didn't notice).
Second, it is not that funny. At best, I smiled sometimes but I never laugh. It is a sympathique story, mind you.
Third, there are a lot of scenes that are really too short, like if the author had a good idea but didn't take the time to properly developed them. So there's a lot going on, but some scenes ended up abruptly.
Fourth. The characters are likeable but not that developed for a lot of them. But that could be the problem: there are a lot of them (the author is generous about it, but as each book is near 200 pages, he can't possibly put too much skin on the bones). And, personally, I prefer longer books. 200ish is way to short, I can't read that in one or two evenings, depending of the time I have.
So, overall, a sympathique series, really imaginative, a lot of things going on and, even if it's not that tight, it's worth reading the series, nonetheless.

The author referenced both Douglass Adams (of Hitchhiker’s Guide fame) and Terry Pratchett (who will never need an introduction) and was clearly trying to tap into that same absurdist comedy in his own works. And it was… not quite that. The reason the prior mentioned authors are literal legends is because their masterful nonsense is interposed with fantastically smooth writing. This was a disjointed mess, there was continuity errors, grammatical errors (dessert that you eat has two S’s) and a complete lack of world building, but despite all that, I didn’t want to put it down. I enjoyed it so much as an in bed light read, leaving me in giggles or rolling my eyes at the silliness. I love this type of nonsense and am looking forward to the next one, but hoping it’s going to be a little better written.

Do not go into this expecting a routine read. While a fast-paced book, there are lots and lots of parts that seem random and disconnected. Horror and comedy were both a stretch for me. However, this did have plenty of dark undertones and the dry/quirky wit was in the conversations. You have to catch fine clues and not assume all the information will be provided. There are plenty of storylines left dangling for future plots.
There is plenty of paranormal and good vs evil (or maybe just good and evil) in the town of Eden. A town of lost people. Kevin arrives and becomes the new librarian after witnessing the death/murder of the existing librarian. He decides to solve the murder while taking on the new job. The librarian in Eden does much more than just shelve books and Kevin is up for a number of challenges.

I'm not really sure what I thought of this book. I didn't hate it as it kept my attention through the whole book. However it felt very rushed at best. Like one minute your dealing with one issue and then the next it's a different issue. I liked how it wrapped up with the old librarian but I wasn't really a fan of the ending with the book thief. But then there's the issues with the zombies and how the wrapped up but didn't at the same time.
Again I didn't hate this book it just felt random and all over the place. Maybe to many conflicts in one book? But then your left with so many questions. I may continue this series as my fast read books but again I'm confused enough I'm not sure if I will
I just like to say this is the most all over the place review I have had. As well as the first time I'm completely perplexed on whether I liked it or didnt.

So I had mixed feelings about this book. The story line is great and the author has a good sense of humor. I read the whole book because I really was intrigued by the story and thought he had some creative ideas. I did laugh at many ironic lines. I struggled because the writing was a little basic is the best way I can think to describe it. He uses a lot of cliches. I feel the inner monologue on the characters could have been written better. It made it a little frustrating to read. I think the wording was a little simplified and could have been developed better. But the story line was interesting enough that I finished it and I even started the second book hoping that he evolves as a writer.

A 3/5 for me
This one has a huge range of weird, wacky and wonderful characters, though unfortunately I felt it got to the point where there were simply too many and not enough depth. Though I particularly enjoyed the cranky tree in the woods by the quicksand 🤣
The ending felt rushed. I also had no idea what was going on, like I couldn't follow the 'evidence' or train of thought of the main character. Not in the way of a clever 'whodunit' but just confusing writing that felt like the author wasn't sure which storyline to focus on.
There were some grammatical errors that could easily have been fixed with some extra editing kind of annoyed me at times too, though I reported this via Kindle do hopefully those will be fixed in future editions.
Overall, lots of potential for humour and an interesting investigation but it missed the mark a lot of the time.

Train Wreck
You know how you just can't seem to look away from the terrible reality of a train wreck? That was this book.
It could use a good editor. The writing is bad. The story was bizarre. And yet I couldn't not finish it. That's the only reason I gave it the extra star.
I will admit it was funny in many ways. Who would name the Lord of Hell Karl? The way many of the characters took a literal approach when responding to other characters was amusing, but I had to go back to reread some of the segments because it took a moment to figure out what everyone was actually saying.
I didn't find the book scary. Sure, there were some tense moments, but that's not unusual for any book.
