S4: A Walk to The Midnight Library

Astonishing Legends Productions
About this episode
Your journey to reach The Midnight Library is narrated in ASMR fashion by your humble host: Miranda Merrick.  Who will you meet on your walk?  
 
You’ve gotten in your car and driven to the edge of the village.  The main road has narrowed.  Forests, pastureland, and old farms dot the dimming distance.  Whatever life has had to offer you, whatever reality has forced you to of late- You’re looking for something different; a mood, a setting,... the warmth and chill ...of beings of a different nature.  You turn onto a nameless, lonely old road, marked only by a small, wooden sign that illuminates when your headlights catch it.  Its deeply carved script reads: THIS WAY TO THE MIDNIGHT LIBRARY

Headphones are recommended for the best listening experience.
