Evil Librarian

The new librarian at Cynthia Rothschild’s high school is young, extremely hot, and wants to make Annie, Cyn’s best friend, a library monitor.

“You're not human” (Knudsen 75).

Cyn begins to think something is off about Mr. Gabriel. The creepy look in his mesmerizing eyes and the strange feeling she  gets when she’s around him aren't helping matters. Neither is the blood, horns, or bat-like wings that sprout from his body when he thinks no one is looking.

“Strangely, the job description did not specify that as a requirement” (Knudsen 75).

Now, not only does she have to save her best friend from the clutches of the evil demon librarian, she must also save her beloved school play (Sweeney Todd!) from utter ruin. But what will Cyn do when it seems that Mr. Gabriel is sucking the life force from the entire student body?
