Give ear to Charles Perrault’s original fairy tale of the infamous serial killer. Included is an even more chilling account of the historical figure upon whom this frightening character was based. 

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.
