Monique Joan (The Ghostly Librarian) is a Paranormal enthusiast and aspiring horror/paranormal writer, who loves nothing more than hearing a good ghost story on a cold, dreary day - especially when it's raining! 

​

She hails from Melbourne, Australia. 

​

In her spare time, she loves researching all things that go BUMP in the night, attending ghost tours and paranormal investigations, absorbing anything horror, true crime, paranormal/supernatural or occult related, reading and writing, visiting small country towns, camping, taking photographs - particularly in strange abandoned places and cemeteries, and spending time with her wonderful husband and German Shepherd, Dexter, and her family and friends.

Behind 'The Library of Ghosts' 

​

I created The Library Of Ghosts as a way to express my personal interest and research of the supernatural and paranormal, as well as documenting my ghostly pursuits (ghost hunting). Previously, this blog was under another name 'The Violet Ghost' which was used for horror book reviews. In 2025, the blog was reborn as 'The Library of Ghosts'. The name for my blog comes from a blend of my love for the paranormal/supernatural and ghosts stories along with my career - surprise, I'm a Librarian! I've been working as a Librarian for almost four years, having received my Diploma of Library and Information Services in 2020. I also have a CERT IV in Professional Writing and Editing. Books and writing have always been my biggest passions.
