In this episode of The Halloween Podcast, Lyle and Meghan sit down with bestselling author Alyson Richman to talk about her haunting new novel, The Missing Pages. Set inside Harvard’s Widener Library, the book reimagines the story of Harry Elkins Widener—a real-life Titanic passenger and rare book collector—who lingers as a ghost among his treasured collection.
We explore the real history behind Harry’s tragic death, the campus lore surrounding Widener Library, and how Alyson blended love, grief, and the supernatural into a powerful ghost story. Plus, we dig into Titanic legends, the quiet eeriness of libraries at night, and what Harry himself might say if he could read the book written about him.
