The Midnight Marauder (formerly known as Midnight Matron) is a member of the Midnight Society team. He or she is someone that goes above and beyond to contribute to the Midnight Society, to our readers, and embraces the wonders of macabre like no other. Why did we change the name? According to the dictionary, a marauder is one who roves and raids in search of plunder. Suzy G. actually came up with the fantastic new name and I think it fits us perfectly. Each member certainly roves and explores the macabre and the depths of midnight. It's within those inky shado[...]

5 There are three things in the world that I love. 1. Dean Winchester 2. Horror anything 3. Turkey And well, today I can celebrate with all three! I want to take a moment as well, to tell you all what I'm thankful for (in addition to these three things). I'm thankful for Amy, Jennifer, T.A., Kira, Faith, Suzy, and Nicole, the fabulous members of The Midnight Society. I'm grateful for all of our readers and followers, who celebrate the wonderful darkness that dwells between the cracks of everyday life. I'm thankful for storytellers, illustrators, and authors[...]
We update you daily on the creepy crawly world out there, wouldn't you like to get to know some of us a little better? I posed some questions to The Midnight Society members below, and they gravefully gave up some details on their Halloween lives. @JoleneHaley What are your Halloween traditions? I trick-or-treated for a long time until I just couldn't get away with it anymore...we're talking well into my twenties. Now, we mainly watch movies and hand out candy. We usually watch scary movies. Plus, where I live in Huntington Beach, they have[...]
As you know, we're running a giant Halloween #EverydayIsHalloween event where we celebrate not one, but 31 days of Halloween. When I think of Halloween, I think of a lot of things.

The Midnight Society is proud to announce this exciting news. After an open call for new members and a ton of fabulous applicants, the ghosts of The Midnight Society Mansion have spoken... Please welcome the fantastic, haunting, and lovely Jennifer Brinkmeyer! Obituary Here lies Jennifer Brinkmeyer, all dressed up with no place to go. She died when a wind came out of the night, chilling and killing her, as she walked the bluffs at Iowa's Lake MacBride with her lover. Copies of her undergraduate manuscripts have been looted from the Iowa Writers’ Worksh[...]
When I was first dreaming up The Midnight Society, I knew that I needed to find someone to make an incredible logo. And when members started coming aboard I was hoping that one of them might be able to point me towards a designer that could adequately represent our project. After all, it's not easy to capture the mood and essence of a website or a group of people in one design. But Midnight Society member Kira Butler didn't just refer me. She took it upon herself to create this incredible new logo. And I'm sure you'll agree with me that her work is beyond fantast[...]
Pinterest is the place to look for inspiration--whether it's for a book you're writing, a painting, what to wear, how to decorate your house, or what book to read next. If you're looking for inspiration that's maybe a little... dark. macabre. creepy. bloody. Different. Well, The Midnight Society of course has you covered. There are 20 boards up for whiling away the midnight hour, and we're always up for suggestions for more! After I noticed how beautiful our boards look with the Pinterest widget, I just had to feature five of them here to grab your attention...[...]
When we were seeking out a new member of The Midnight Society, we know that it would be tough to find someone who just "got" what we're all about. We needed someone who wouldn't think twice about the picnics we hold in the cemetery on our Midnight Mansion grounds. We needed someone who would be fine with the ghosts in the graveyard and the ghouls under the stairs. Which is why it was so perfect that Suzy G. came along and wanted a bite out of the fun. She's fun, she's got pep, and she knows how to slay a vampire (hopefully). So please, without any further delay,[...]
