The Night Library

In todays episode we explore the dark, dusty and mysterious world of books. Those weird, rare, and legendary forgotten tomes that have been Justin and I’s lifelong passion and obsession.


We delve into Victorian spirit photography, the extraordinary and intoxicating work of Ithell Colquhoun, books of dangerous occult magic, of herbal folklore, and those of rare and exquisite beauty.


A huge thank you to everyone at Peter Harrington for having us pour through there groaning shelves.


And the brilliant Paul Kaye will read for you from M.R James' The Tractate Middoth'.


Enjoy
