    Episode 9.5 - A Short Stay In Hell by Steven Peck

    In January of 2025, on a different podcast, Ligeia and Leraje started doing episodes about books and reading. The original intent was to keep them short - but they soon got long! In the summer of '25, we started The Devil's Library but we thought it was a shame we had left the older episodes behind and so here they are. Be warned - the audio quality is dodgy in places! In this short episode we talk about Steven Peck's short but impactful book A Short Stay In Hell.

    In their latest Ligotti side episode, Ligeia and Leraje are joined by Chris from the Doom Folk Metal band Buzzard, a fellow Ligotti enthusiast - a fact that often comes through clearly in the lyrics he writes for Buzzard.

    Episode 8 - Annihilation by Jeff VanderMeer

    In this episode The Devil's Librarians get to grips with the beautiful, enigmatic horror of Jeff VanderMeer's novel Annihilation. Please note! Leraje made a mistake with a reference - when he mentions The Dunwich Horror he means The Shadow Over Innsmouth.
