The Weird Library, a Reading Room for Strange Fiction
A free public reference-and-reading institution for weird fiction, with public-domain texts and an editorial card catalog.
Field notes
The library separates texts it currently holds from broader field records in its Card Catalog, giving the project both a reading function and a bibliographic one. Its featured item is Algernon Blackwood’s 1907 novella “The Willows,” identified with the shelfmark WF B627 .W55 1907 and accompanied by publication history and a Lovecraft citation. Several additional institutional sections—including the Stacks and Periodicals Desk—are labeled “Opening soon,” indicating an unfinished but clearly structured collection.
