Welcome to The Impossible Library
Welcome, traveler. You have discovered a way into the Impossible Library—or perhaps you have returned to explore its shelves once more?
For newcomers, you will find unpublished writings from across the universe. Dangerous ideas carried on aethereal wings of dreams and forged in the thrumming core of a machine world. You are encouraged to enter—but it is suggested you do not do so lightly, or alone.
Ancient tomes open, pages turn, and the portal beckons...

Deep in the bowels of his infamous Boiler Room, Freddy Krueger is preparing for a night of cards, carnage, and comedy. The guest list is a rogue's gallery of cinema’s most terrifying slashers.

Library News & Updates
A month of Nightmares
All this month, the Library hosts the Dream Demon. His slashing claws leave damage and flayed books in their wake. The archivists are quite distressed, requiring the use of temporal displacement and quantum reconstructive printing to repair the carnage.
A new section of the library revealed
All the damage caused is not all bad, and has revealed an old section of the Library, boarded up—abandoned and forgotten for eons. Stacks of old green and white printer paper, the perforated edges all that hold them together, long strips of hole-punched edges spooled on the ground like heaping mounds of möbius strip spaghetti. For now it is dusty and in need of repair, but soon, the ‘Short Stories’ section of the Library will become available to guests.
The Archivist's Log
The endless quill pauses, the vibrating hum of the nib goes silent...
Last week, new fractures in reality allowed additional tomes to slip through the dimensional barriers.
Chapter Two and Three of "A Killer Hand" have materialized in the poker hall—In Chapter Two, the arrival of Pinhead, Candyman, and Angela sets the slashers to engage in their usual banter, awaiting the mysterious newcomer. Chapter Three introduced Victor Toth, who gets familiar with the group and explores the boiler room, waiting for the game to start.
Chapter Two of the Grim Dawn Series arrived, finding Alarik fighting his way through Lower Crossing, battling with the undead, and rescuing a man from a pack of razor hounds—but that act of kindness may end up being his last.
The Library's influence spreads as more wanderers discover the stacks. Word travels through shadow networks and whispered conversations, drawing fresh minds toward our collection of impossible writings. The caretakers have noted increased activity in the outer chambers—a promising sign for those who hunger for forbidden knowledge.
The quill resumes its scratching, chronicling new arrivals...
