Welcome to our mystery unboxing feature with Westfield librarians, with a new episode released on IGTV every month! In this episode, librarian Kelsey asked her colleagues for recommendations for unconventional, lyrical, and stylistically complex short fiction – either short stories, novellas, or graphic novels. All of these books are available at the Westfield Athenaeum if you’re interested in them! For the list, with direct links to the catalog, check below the video!
