Tales From the Blue Line - The Overnight Returns
A newly hired librarian discovers that a long-deceased patron is still returning his favorite books to the after-hours drop, each containing a handwritten note that slowly reveals a life lived entirely through the stories he loved.
Tales From The Blue Line: Every morning at three, Mason and Ally ride the Blue Line into downtown Chicago together. The train brings out its own brand of weird, which has led to Mason and Ally trading spooky stories to help their commute pass a little faster.
