Alasdair Beckett-King & James Shakeshaft from The Loremen. Richard Hatem from Richard Hatem's Paranormal Bookshelf. And Chris Cullari & Ed Voccola from Scared All The Time.

Welcome, Dear Guest! Bring your most critical eye (from your pocket or borrow one from a friend) because tonight we will examine 3 masterfully painted, fine works featuring Death in Art! In each attention-grabbing artwork, Death will be portrayed differently and effectively. So effective, well, you'll have no choice but to follow him (or her!) Don't be left in the dark, look them up in advance!  -Death at the Door- by Adolf Menzel. -Death Playing the Fiddle- by Arnold Böcklin. And -Death and the Maiden by Marianne Stokes.  Each promises to be a deadly delight. Join us! Special Thanks to Sounds Like an Earful Music Supply for the amazing music AND sound design.

Welcome, Spooky Lovelies! How elegant you look in your vampire-inspired attire! Tonight, by candlelight, we shall visit grave after grave after grave until we've had our fill of all the bizarre batterings the bodies of the supposed vampires have sustained. They are many and grievous. From stakes through their heart to stones in their mouth, "vampires" know grave treatment. Join us! Special Thanks to Sounds Like an Earful Music Supply for the amazing music AND sound design.

You know what must be done. You know what you must do. Reach way back into your closet and retrieve your black ceremonial robes -or- grab some glitter and a hot-glue gun! The choice is yours! Tonight Miranda will tell you all about the weird and wonderful history of Mummers...and where you can find and join in with them today... safely, of course...

Gruesome Greetings Dear Guests! Please take note of our repeated use of the word "gruesome" for this wild and wonderful werewolf tale is not for the faint of heart. If, however, you have the stomach and guts enough to simply let such ghastly things splash all over you without batting an eye (or ear)- Well! Do we have a lurid legend to share with you! The Werewolf of Bedburg. And yes, Mr. Darling is fond of this story! **Special guest cameo by John Darling Special Thanks to Sounds Like an Earful Music Supply for the amazing music AND sound design.

Welcome to The Reading Room, Spooky Lovelies! Imagine being accused of witchcraft because of the cute, little pets you own-- and that cute, little mole on your chin... and several of your spouses dropping dead while in your care. Please find your favorite spot because tonight, Ms. Merrick has for you, the spellbinding story of the very first familiars, and the first witch in Ireland to be accused of having them in her service, Alice Kyteler. And yes, your familiars are certainly welcome in The Midnight Library! Special Thanks to Sounds Like an Earful Music Supply for the amazing music AND sound design.

Welcome Back, Spooky Lovelies! We begin tonight's reading with a dire warning about treading where you ought not to, specifically inside notorious haunted houses...and protected properties. But it seems no matter how many times Miranda warns the humans, they always think nothing bad will ever happen to them. Join us tonight as Ed & Chris from Scared All The Time travel beyond the cordoned-off areas and fool around and find out in this, the premier reading of Season 11 of The Midnight Library! Special Thanks to Sounds Like an Earful Music Supply for the amazing music AND sound design.

We know. We know you're waiting almost patiently for The Midnight Library to reopen its doors for "The TRULY Most Wonderful Time of the Year" And we have the scoop on when this will happen! But first, we have a short story... about YOU. Join us to hear this- and when you can claim your favorite spot in The Reading Room for Season 11!
