Beguiling Beheadings

Welcome to The Reading Room, Dear Guest!  Why doesn’t anyone want to sit beside Mr. Cutlass, our totally just-for-show, prop guillotine??  Oh well.  Please find a comfy spot and pull the blankets up tight around your chilly neck because tonight our heart-stopping topic is all about BEHEADINGS!  When did they start?  How were they improved?  Why were they popular?  Who tried to speak after they were beheaded?  And why are they a hot topic in more ways than one in The Midnight Library?  Head right this way!

Special Thanks to Sounds Like an Earful Music Supply for the amazing music AND sound design during this episode.
