The Midnight Library Review Novels & Stories

She asked, obviously trying to shift the conversation. “Well I was searching for you. I got lost and I stumbled upon the mansion's library.” I replied. “It must have been stressful.” “It was, but luckily someone directed me to your room. I also found a book in the library.” “What book?” “Midnight Howls by Orin Darkhowl.” I replied. “Let me guess, you need me to get the book out of the library for you. So that you can read it each time you come to my room.”

I turned it on, but there was nothing good. It was 11 o’clock. The truth was that I was a little bit tired, but I didn’t want to sleep without saying goodnight to him and thanking him for his hospitality. I remembered the library in the small room. It was full of books. I could find something to kill my time while waiting. There were different kinds of books. From history to fiction, and fairytales, but what caught my interest were a bunch of books right in the middle of the selves with black and golden binding.

“I found this book outside. It has all the answers.” I furrow my eyebrows together. “What are you talking about, Alex?” His attention turns back to the weathered book in his hands. He flips through the pages until he finds the one he’s looking for. “Look at this.” He hands the book to me. I scan the words, latching onto the ones at the very top. How To Kill A Vampire. Suspicion descends over me. “Alex, are you sure this is even real? It sounds a little made-up.”

Shelly pulled me inside, leaving Aubrey standing by the door. After going through the different sections, Shelly finally got three books that she found fascinating. I only bought one book ‘Midnight Sun’ by Trish Cook. It was released back in 2017 but Shelly told me that she never got to read it. Some of her friends did tell her though that it was a good read so I bought it. The outline was what caught my eyes. It did seem interesting. Shelly made me promise to lend her the book once I was done reading it. I promised but in return, she had to let me borrow some of the books she already had at home.

The sound coming from a horror film behind me battered when the thunder strike with the high volume that even the next building can be disturb. "Go to bed now," I commanded and closed the Tv. "Party pooper, the best scene was yet to come!" "I'm not sleepy!" And they started complaints, but in the end, they still follow me and eventually go to their room. I left a note besides Nate to take care of everything while I'm at work. I choosed to walked instead to use my scooter this time, the nighttime in the city is beautiful opposite from the morning, morning is a curse. I hid my hand inside the pocket of my hoodie and starts distracting myself.

She has read that book too? Midnight was a character from one of his first books. The book was about a young man, who because of being possessed by demons, would go on a killing spree every midnight, the sight and scent of the blood being the only salvation from the mental and physical pain these demons brought him. That fucker was a total psycho. Jake felt wronged. Why should she call him that? Does Ryder think of him as a psycho? Yet, upon noticing Ryder beaming proudly like a little child, he didn't have the heart to refuse. "Why not."

Although it was strange, I decided not to question that part, seeing that Uncle Jonah was tired, perhaps another day, as he said earlier. "Surprised, uh? I bet you were expecting creepy things because of the story I told you, you know what Deborah, everything isn't always as it seems," He smiled, voicing out my thoughts once again. "Of course," I said as the car turned to the other street, I stared at the library until it vanished from my sight. There was something mysterious about the tale and library, like a connection, unknown to the world. And Genesis, she was a woman scorned, a powerful Owlignus but yet—she simply gave out the town that was her beloved, a town she built and owned. Until

Matthew stopped in his tracks, staring at me in shock. Finally, he just snorted and said, "I’m glad you understand." At dinner, everyone was super friendly to Shirley. Matthew was extra nice, getting her a bowl of soup. However, then Shirley turned white as a ghost and gagged. Matthew was right there, rubbing her back, asking what was wrong. Shirley smiled, kind of embarrassed, "I'm pregnant. About two months along." The room went quiet for a few seconds. Matthew looked shocked, but then he was grinning from ear to ear.

I began to redress her, pulling up her panties and pulling down her skirt. "We'll just have to make do. There are some lounge chairs in the reading area on level three." Miranda and I caught the lifts down to level three, and collapsed into some sofas resting in each others arms. I set my mobile alarm to go off a few hours before the library opened so we'd have plenty of time to hide and pretend we'd never been in here before the librarians came. I knew that tomorrow Miranda would be with her boyfriend, having sex with him and the thought of it brought tears to my eyes as I saw her closed eyes and her cuddled up into the sofa sleeping like a baby.

Maybe I’ve got this after all. The room stole my breath. It was a library, pristine and organize, and Shelves climbed to the ceiling, stuffed with leather-bound books, their spines stamped with runes that shimmered faintly. Little orbs of light floated above, glowing soft gold, bobbing like fireflies. A desk sat in the corner, a sprig of Moonshade in a vase atop it—its petals shimmered, and its scent shifted as I moved, first jasmine, then clove, then something earthy I couldn’t name. I ran my fingers over a shelf, grabbed a book at random, and sank into a chair, its cushions swallowing me whole. The pages crackled as I opened them, yellowed and brittle, spilling stories of pack lore—lunar
