'Viall’s debut is a tongue-in-cheek delight, pulling from multiple genres to create a tale that is both unsettling and cosy... Five creepy stars!' Brigitte Knightley, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Irresistible Urge to Fall For Your Enemy
Amongst mountains as old as time, the jackalopes and ghouls are the least of your worries…
At Entity — the organisation responsible for managing the world’s monsters — Alexys is perfectly happy honouring her late father’s legacy from behind a desk, far from anything with teeth. But when she heads into the Appalachian Mountains for a routine review with her newly assigned Warden, Elliot, she finds… nothing.
Elliot has vanished. And after his reports of sightings of a never-recorded creature, Alexys can’t ignore the danger he might be in. Against all her instincts, she pushes deeper into the mountains to find him.
Nic, Entity’s ambitious (and irritatingly charismatic) Director of Research & Cataloguing, refuses to let the chance to investigate an undocumented monster pass him by. And if joining the search means annoying his favourite work-nemesis, he’s already lacing his boots.
But as Alexys and Nic descend into the ancient Appalachians, they begin to learn why some monsters stay unrecorded… and why no one should wander these mountains after dark.
The first instalment of a new cosy and creepy series following the employees of Entity, where not every monster stays in the shadows – and survival is never guaranteed.©2026 Grace Viall (P)2026 Bloomsbury Publishing PLC

Critic reviews
"Welcome to (Mostly) Human Resources – in which the bureaucracy and the spooks are equally frightening. Viall’s debut is a tongue-in-cheek delight, pulling from multiple genres to create a tale that is both unsettling and cosy – whimsical horror, if I had to give it a name. The Appalachian ambience and aesthetics are hauntingly delicious. The romance is tender, yet snarky, featuring protagonists who can’t stand one another (my favourite dynamic!) unwillingly finding love whilst hunting for things that go bump in the night. Five creepy stars!" (Brigitte Knightley, Sunday Times bestselling author of THE IRRESISTIBLE URGE TO FALL FOR YOUR ENEMY)
"Creepy cryptids, a compelling slow burn romance, and corporate humor blend together perfectly in this excitingly unique debut from Grace Viall. (Mostly) Human Resources is a must read for anyone looking for a great horrormance, delivering on both a delicious workplace enemies to lovers romance arc and truly terrifying encounters out in the woods. This book will delight fans of Supernatural and The X-Files and leave readers yearning for the next installment!" (Mallory Marlowe, USA Today bestselling author of LOVE AND OTHER CONSPIRACIES)
A morbidly whimsical paranormal romance with bite, Mostly Human Resources is for everyone who watched X-Files and Supernatural and desperately wanted to be a part of that world. Better devour it before it devours you! (Nadia El-Fassi, author of LOVE AT FIRST FRIGHT)
Charming, swoony, and a little bit spooky, (Mostly) Human Resources is an absolute delight. Viall blends a stunning array of elements, from folklore and fantasy to creepy and cosy, and packages it in a rivals to lovers romance that leaves you kicking your feet and begging the characters to kiss. Viall's incredibly fresh debut is full of fun and fright, and leaves you dying for the rest of the series (Rachel Kitch, author of THE FOREST BLEEDS)
Nostalgia wrapped in a slow creeping cloak, Viall lures like a creature in the night with no choice but to read more. Alexys and Nic burrow deep within, make a home, and camp in the heart. I devoured (Mostly) Human Resources (Hollie Nelson, author of A HEART SO HAUNTED)
(Mostly) Human Resources is fun, exciting, and full of heart, blending the paranormal intrigue of the X-Files with the very relatable workplace stresses, and a pair of loveable characters who readers will adore (Rose Black, author of TIL DEATH DO US BARD)
Cozy, and with just the right amount of adventure and romance, (Mostly) Human Resources deserves to be read with a hot cup of a tea and a snug blanket. Viall has crafted an original world ripe with magic, thrills, and dangerous creatures around every corner. I didn’t want the book to end! (Teagan Olivia King)
A perfect, cozy marriage between romance and horror. I fell in love with Viall's delightfully human characters, and her not-so-human ones, too (T R Moore)
