Welcome to The Reading Room, Dear Guest!  Why doesn’t anyone want to sit beside Mr. Cutlass, our totally just-for-show, prop guillotine??  Oh well.  Please find a comfy spot and pull the blankets up tight around your chilly neck because tonight our heart-stopping topic is all about BEHEADINGS!  When did they start?  How were they improved?  Why were they popular?  Who tried to speak after they were beheaded?  And why are they a hot topic in more ways than one in The Midnight Library?  Head right this way!

Proudly brought to you by the fine folks at the Astonishing Legends Podcast- Not just another show but a place you can go: The Midnight Library.

Be transported to forgotten lands, learn about ancient customs and mysterious happenings… all in the company of your unusual hosts in their unique setting.

S9: Season 10 Announcement & A Question: Are You A Midnight Library Missing Person?

Greetings, My Dear... Lone... Guest, I thought I'd have you in for tea on this beautiful, early fall evening... to discuss... MURDER. But, not just any murder... a slow, plotting, gentle murder... at least at first. The clueless victim didn't even realize he was being murdered, so that's better, right? We think so. Please, make yourself comfortable alone here with me and... enjoy your treats and tea. And everything... will be just fine... eventually. Love, Miranda



ps. wear gloves if you have them... for... reasons. Thank you for visiting and... I'm sorry
