Archival Quality is an interesting and somewhat dark story about a young woman who becomes the overnight archivist librarian for an asylum-turned-library, where dreams of a strange and tortured young woman lead her on a chase for answers and a way to offer reprieve to a broken, lost spirit haunting the library.

The art style in this graphic novel isn't my favorite, but it's made up for by how much I enjoyed the plot and how easily I could relate to Cel. Celeste is struggling tremendously with her mental health, but she's afraid of seeking help, despite the fact that her illnesses cause her to lash out, react irrationally, and panic over everyday situations. There's a panel in the book where she gets angry at her boyfriend and then breaks down crying and saying she doesn't understand why she's angry and she's just tired of feeling this way, and wow, did I feel that.

I definitely think the main plot of the story isn't the ghost or the mystery, but is Cel's struggles with her own mental health and the journey she embarks upon to find her way to therapy and seeking help, so I wouldn't recommend going into this expecting any sort of scary, in-depth ghost story—but if you can relate to that feeling of having no control over your mental health and being unsure of where to go for help, I think Cel's story might resonate with you, too.

Thank you so much to Oni Press for providing me with this ARC in exchange for an honest review!
