Source text Readers are responsible for finding their own Public Domain text. For clarification of what "in the Public Domain" means read https://wiki.librivox.org/index.php?title=Copyright_and_Public_Domain. Try to stay with works that run less than 60 minutes [74 minutes is the absolute max]. There is no need to sign-up before recording, as long as the work is clearly in the Public Domain. But please note: Wikisource CAN NOT be used as a source. See "Our policy on text sources."We are back with the 16th Librivox Short Mystery and Suspense Collection! Readers are invited to select and submit mystery or suspense stories of less than about 60 minutes. The collection will be closed when we have 15 submissions. Please ask if you have concerns about Public Domain status.
