Read it in the Green Room
(Mostly) Human Resources
A fit for readers interested in a blend of workplace romance and creepy, cosy paranormal fiction; the publisher describes it as a cryptid-filled series and highlights slow-burn romance and corporate humour.
Beta invites go out in waitlist order. One devlog email a month, at most — or just read the devlog.

The Green Room
Backstage of (Mostly) Human Resources.
Walk in mid-chapter. The people of the book are there, as themselves, knowing what they know so far — and nothing else. Ask them anything. They have read exactly as far as you have.
A moment in the Green Room

The narrator
As they are at your reading place
You
What kind of place have I stepped into?
The narrator
“I’m among the employees of Entity, in a world where cryptids are part of the picture. That’s all I can tell you about this place. I can’t know anything past your page; those pages don’t exist yet for you or for me.”
Their knowledge stops where your reading does.
Who is in the room
Anyone who has walked on by your page.
The cast
Any character who has appeared so far. Someone who hasn’t walked on yet isn’t in the room. That’s not a limitation; that’s the point.
The narrator
The voice telling you the story, as far as it has told it.
The author
As the book presents them — the mind behind the pages you have read, not a biography.
The book itself
Ask what it is doing to you so far. It answers from its own pages, up to yours.

What critics and prize juries said.
Editorial synthesis
Publishers Weekly finds the novel starts slowly as a paranormal office rom-com, then shifts into creepier horror that it says hits its stride in the woods. It praises the horror elements but calls the romance uneven and the tonal shift jarring.
Drawn from www.publishersweekly.com.
How it stays unspoiled
Nothing past your page exists.
The companion is assembled from the passages you have read and only those. A character who knows the ending is no one worth talking to, so there is no override — not behind a setting, not behind a confirmation. Your position is the wall.
