Alexander Verdoni

Alexander Verdoni is a traveling musician, playwright, and ceremonialist. His works have been staged at many small venues and clandestine locations across the United States, including Panoply Laboratory in Brooklyn, NY, and Counter Culture in Saginaw, MI. He is currently riding his bicycle along the coast in Georgia. You can follow his meandering course through his freshly born free-form writing project, Boldly Seeking Gentle Library on Substack.

The Page of Fiction

At least working at the Middle Rapids Library ain’t so bad. It’s one of those fancy Carnegie libraries with brass chandeliers and porcelain tile work and stained-glass windows — all misplaced decadence for this rust-belt town. It’s pretty much a gothic castle complete with ghosts, labyrinthine hallways, black walnut paneled doors, dusty portraits of old, rich dead men no one wants to look at, and, most mysteriously of all, a turret housing the town’s large, defunct clock.
