The Librarian of the Haunted Library Strangely Scary Funny

A fun, fast, fantastical read: After an altercation with a clown, I get lost in the woods and find a strange town. When the librarian of the town dies in front of me, I try on his ring. It fits. I'm declared the new librarian by the mayor and townspeople. I get to live in a houseful of books. But I soon learn the job involves more than just tomes and information. In fact, my first assignment is to discover who murdered my predecessor. Meanwhile, I learn that the town is a whole lot stranger than I'd first thought and I'd thought it was pretty strange from the first. The library has a ghoul and a ghost, which seems excessive. Not everyone in the town of Eden is alive or even human. A headless seductress (she carries her head around with her) propositions me, but may also be trying to kill me. Honestly, I have some secrets of my own. After aging out of foster care, I hit the road. At first, I just drift; then I begin to get messages in dreams that direct me to places where people need the kind of help I can give them. I learn many things. One of the things I learn is I am the One. The only problem is that I am not that One. I'm the other One. The One who will bring destruction.

It's... weird.

Very
Very
Weird.

Pictures a cross between a very new writer version of Gaimain just starting out and then add on some very amateur Pratchett and a bit of Douglas Adams

It has some of the vibe of books like The Graveyard Book and From the Dust Returned, albeit not nearly as polished. Some of it is quite profound, other parts don't quite hit the mark yet but I suspect later books will.

Weird but satisfying.
