How did these ancient stone creatures come to be perched above our heads and follow us into modern times? Hear the illustrious story of their fiery birth, surprising talents, and ambivalent nature. (If you’re new to The Midnight Library, we suggest you keep your wits about you)

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

S9 Ep8: Owls: The Harbingers of Doom

My very dear guest, we have a rather unique and meaningful story as tonight's offering here in The Reading Room.  It will undoubtedly pique your morbid interest, as the subject is "The Victorian Obsession with Shrunken Heads"  But more than this, I believe it will touch, or even awaken, something with in you that will cause you to think differently about this dire subject- and the two groups of people and the victims of the process whom the story is about.  It's my honor to share their story with you.  Please make yourself at home to listen.  Sincerely, Miranda Merrick
