    Episode 9.5 - A Short Stay In Hell by Steven Peck
    Jan 29 2026
    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.
