Bat fans, we need your help.

Last week, the The Bangor Daily News published an ill-advised article that advocated a tremendously brutal, cruel, and unacceptable approach to what one does if they find a bat in their home. We’re asking you to please email the author, John Holyoke, today at jholyoke@bangordailynews.com asking for a retraction.

It’s critical to understand not all bats found in your home need to be destroyed, and individuals should avoid contact with the animal and reach out to the CDC. 

Atticus – do bats like books?

Oh yes.

See, Evil Supply Co.’s headquarters is located in a tiny, haunted village known as Peyroux (this is important). It is a gorgeous little place and home to all manner of things that go bump in the night (that is not important but fun to know).

Now, there is a large clocktower in the middle of the village. It is handy when you’re coming up the North Road because it’ll be the first thing you’ll see along the horizon, to which you might muse, “ah, not lost.”

But as importantly, it is the central meeting point to the bats who fly through town. We keep blankets (it gets cold) and food handy (you fly this far and you’re going to be hungry). If they don’t have a name when they get here, we offer one up (the latest arrival is Penny).

Some bats stay in the clocktower, tended up by the ghosts and whichever citizen is on volunteer duty to welcome the little nightpups. 

Peyroux is home to a great library and folk come and borrow all manner of books. Something of a hobby, reading and borrowing books. All bats are citizens of Peyroux while they are local, and ergo, are issued tiny library cards.
