    True Crime, Crime Fiction and the Fine Line Between

    What's the difference between telling a good crime story and telling someone's story? This Noirvember, we're diving into the fascinating, sometimes complicated relationship between true crime and crime fiction.  I'm joined by Jennifer Graeser Dornbush and Sebastian Krahl for a conversation about what it means to work with crime as source material, whether you're writing fiction or exploring real-life cases. We talk about the responsibilities that come with telling these stories, navigating the fine line between entertainment and exploitation, respecting the people behind the headlines and finding a balance between the darkness of crime and the reasons we're drawn to these stories in the first place.  Because there's a lot more to a good crime story than just figuring out whodunit. So grab your magnifying glass, settle in and join us for a little Noirvember reading (and listening) room discussion!  Looking for the video version of our show?

    Try to Survive a Haunted House: Our Overnight Ghost Hunt at Franklin Castle

    What happens when a book podcast host, a paranormal expert and a cameraman walk into one of America's most haunted destinations? Hopefully, they make it out.  For the first time in Book Lounge by Libby history, Joe Skelley is leaving the comforts of the lounge behind for an overnight ghost hunt at Franklin Castle, one of the most notoriously haunted places in the United States! Joined by Christine Schiefer, former co-host of And That's Why We Drink, and Joe's partner Matt behind the camera, this spooky sleepover involves a historic castle, paranormal investigations and the question nobody wants to ask in the middle of the night: WHAT WAS THAT?!  We're getting into the history, the hauntings and what it's actually like to spend the night investigating a place with a seriously creepy reputation. Will we encounter something supernatural? Will Joe ever recover emotionally? Will Matt capture anything terrifying on camera?  Grab your flashlight, check the locks and join us for an overnight ghost hunt that takes Book Lounge by Libby somewhere we've never gone before. It's a little paranormal investigation, a little haunted-house horror and a whole lot of spooky-season chaos.  Powered by libraries. Made for readers. Occasionally, apparently, made for ghost hunters, too.  Happy reading... and maybe leave a light on. 👻  Check out our video with Christine over on the ParaPods Network: https://www.youtube.com/@ATWWDPodcast   Looking for the video version of our show?
