The Second Night and the Hollow Reading Room
from The Night Librarian — Fexingo Horror · host Fexingo
Luna returns to the library the next night, still haunted by the scratching behind the iron door. She finds a new book on her trolley — a diary from 1923, its last entry unfinished. The diary writer describes a room deep in the library that should not exist: a reading room with no doors. Luna remembers a floor she passed through on the stairs but cannot reach from any hallway. She searches for the reading room, following a trail of dust motes and old candle wax. When she finds it, the room is lit, and a single book lies open on a table. The book is older than the library itself. The last entry in the 1923 diary mentions a name — Alistair Cole — a former librarian who went missing. The open book contains a map of the library, but the map shows a wing that Luna has never seen. As she traces her finger along the map, she hears a key turn in a lock behind her. The door is closed. She is not alone. #TheNightLibrarian #IronDoor #RestrictedSection #HollowReadingRoom #AlistairCole #MissingLibrarian #MapOfTheLibrary #1923Diary #BrassKey #Candlelight #MoonlightStairs #DoorThatShouldNotExist #ScratchingSound #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #SerializedHorror #AtmosphericHorror #LibraryHorror #BookHorror #SlowBurnHorror Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
