The Midnight Reading: "The Summer People"
For our final installment: an elegiac tale of summer's end that slyly reveals a creeping, inevitable menace. A master stroke penned by the great Shirley Jackson.
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.
