Welcome to The Wicked Library for our season of Sci-Fi Themed Horror.
Author: Lawrence C. Connolly
Storyteller: Lawrence C. Connolly
Host: Davis Walden
Featuring a custom score by Nico Vettese, of We Talk of Dreams.
Story Summary:
It seemed a harmless obsession, folding paper into hollow spheres, pyramids, and stars. But the administrators feared the power of his art. He had to be stopped. To save the world. To save himself.
Warning: The Wicked Library is a horror fiction podcast created for a mature audience. Our stories contain graphic descriptions of pain, murder, violence, blood, betrayal, and inhumanity; monsters win, people die, and hope is often shattered. There is also beauty, heart, catharsis, and raw emotion. Fear may be deeply personal, but we all share it.
If at any time a story takes you to a place too dark, turn on the lights, press pause, or press stop. And always remember, that unlike in the real world, these nightmares, and your participation in them, are under your control.

Story Summary:
Billy deeply loved his Grandma Baccalieri. She kept him warm and happy after his parents died and he had to move in with her. He especially enjoyed her baked desserts from the old country — from her cinnamon cream torte to her vanilla-blueberry pie.
But Billy knew that his Grandma just had to die. Because of her malochia… her horrible, evil eye… her terrifying curse….

TWL 1103: “The Sound of Madness”, by Ricardo Victoria
Released on 10/31/2021
Welcome to The Wicked Library for our season of Sci-Fi Themed Horror.
Author: Ricardo Victoria
Storyteller: André Luc Martinez
Host: Addison Peacock
Featuring a custom score by Nico Vettese, of We Talk of Dreams.
Story Summary:
Exploring the cosmos is a risky proposition. It is cold, silent, uncaring, and vast. No matter how well prepared, or how careful you are, nothing can protect you from the unexpected. Especially when it comes to finding signs that we were not alone in the universe, or when those signs come from forms of life beyond our expectations or comprehension. It can go even worse when those forms of life are ancient, insidious, and choose to mess with your head for their own ineffable reasons. Beware, listener, for the dark corners of the cosmos will get you sooner or later.

TDiB S1E13: "My Last Skinwalker", by Carolyn A. Drake
Released on 09/19/2021
Welcome back to The Darkness in Between, our interseasonal entertainment, with a dark tale written by Carolyn A. Drake and told by Graham Rowat.
Story Summary:
In this dark tale, we experience the fear and terror of a local community fighting for survival against skinwalkers. Over the years, one man becomes the go to expert in dispatching the evil creatures.
Warning: The Wicked Library is a horror fiction podcast created for a mature audience. Our stories contain graphic descriptions of pain, murder, violence, blood, betrayal, and inhumanity; monsters win, people die, and hope is often shattered. There is also beauty, heart, catharsis, and raw emotion. Fear may be deeply personal, but we all share it.
If at any time a story takes you to a place too dark, turn on the lights, press pause, or press stop. And always remember, that unlike in the real world, these nightmares and your participation are under your control.
