Welcome to Extra Wicked, our special bonus tales made possible by  our Supporters at the Extra Wicked Level. 
Stories are combined into quarterly anthology episodes so that the authors work may be shared with the full audience, but our Supporters hear them first. 
  1.  “Cleared for Reentry”, written by Briana Morgan and told by Graham Rowat, with a custom score by Nico Vettese, of We Talk of Dreams. 
  2. “Portraiture”, written by Davis Walden and told by David Ault, with a custom score by Nico Vettese, of We Talk of Dreams. 
  3. “The Lady of The Wood”, written by Cody Mower told by Daniel Foytik, with a custom score by Nico Vettese, of We Talk of Dreams.
Story Summaries: 
  1. “Cleared for Reentry”
    Two men are ready to end their mission aboard the space station they’ve lived and worked on together for months. Excited to depart, the tension is palpable, and things might not go as smoothly as planned.
  2. “Portraiture”
    A grieving man who has lost his wife and son visits a painter with an uncanny ability that allows him to contact the deceased. Dark truths are revealed.
  3. “The Lady of The Wood”
    It’s funny how fast history makes misunderstood women into witches. In the fall of 2008 two best friends go hunting for the ghost of the infamous witch of the Maine woods Emeline Gurney, who supposedly married her son on Satan’s orders. But as they cross into the old pine forests of Fayette, they find they are way in over their heads.

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.

TWL 1012: “The Lights Beneath the Sea”, by Aaron Vlek

Season 10 continues with another briny Batrachian tale as we take a dark dive into the deep.

Geoffrey Sykes Vermillion returns in another dark and mysterious adventure. This time, he visits his friend Gerald Marshall at his summer, seaside cottage when Gerald's nephew falls ill under strange circumstances.

This tale draws on the events told in "The Summer of the Amazing Mr. Fig", about a Deep One and his special friend, Clara Overton.
