The Bewilderment — D.C. Farmer

Bobby Miracle would love a real job but times are hard, especially if you're into Goth attire, prefer graveyards to meadows, and refuse to compromise for anyone. An internship at Hipposync Enterprises dealing in rare books seems a dream come true. And given the sort of people who work there, for once Bobby doesn't feel the slightest bit out of place. But when the whole building freezes in a trans-dimensional lockdown state, the weirdness needle edges towards red. And when she meets Asher Lodge, an inspector with a Fae intelligence agency sent to investigate, the needle goes off the scale. With masochistic zealots, demons, and her dead and quite possibly mad grandmother on the guest list, Bobby quickly realises it's not exactly the nine-to-five she'd bargained for. Join DC Farmer for another plunge into the murky depths of the Hipposync Archives.
