A sweltering summer day heralds ominous premonitions for a struggling artist in William Fryer Harvey's eerie short story.

The Midnight Reading is a special summer series of dramatic readings of lost classics from the world of macabre fiction that have inspired our show, Fireside Mystery Theatre. We hope to encourage you, dear listeners, to embrace the joy of books and to build your own collection of dark literature.
