Welcome to The Wicked Library for our season of Sci-Fi Themed Horror.

Author: Kelli Perkins

Storyteller: Jessica McEvoy

Host: Jessica McHugh

Featuring a custom score by Nico Vettese, of We Talk of Dreams.

Story Summary:

What if ghosts are not only real but a scientifically provable phenomenon? What if that phenomenon is not all it seems? What price would you pay to harness that kind of information? Emily is about to find out.

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.
