When stories start fighting back, only the librarians can save reality.

Welcome to the Everyday Town Library—where books bite, genres collide, and the thesaurus might just eat you alive.

When a mysterious curse turns fiction loose in the real world, a reformed spell-caster, a snarky librarian, and one very opinionated cat named Dewey must battle chaos across the stacks to protect the stories that shape existence itself.

From haunted microfiche to banned book rebellions, Guardians of Genre delivers a fast-paced, comic fantasy full of clever twists, cozy chaos, and heart.

If you love Terry Pratchett’s humor, Neil Gaiman’s whimsy, or Good Omens-style meta magic, you’ll feel right at home in The Library Saga.

Because some libraries don’t just hold stories—they defend them.
