TWL 1008: “Code Word: HATEFULNESS”, by Sara Tantlinger

Season 10 continues with a fantastic tale by an author appearing on the show for the first time, Bram Stoker Award-winning author, Sara Tantlinger. This dark tale was written just for The Wicked Library.

In 1971, a test of the Emergency Broadcast System was sent the wrong code word, sending 40 minutes of confused panic across the airwaves. In Sara's story “Code word: HATEFULNESS”, we take a look at how such a thing could go terribly wrong for one listener.
