Welcome to The Wicked Library for our season of Sci-Fi Themed Horror. 
Author: Myk Pilgrim
Storyteller: Graham Rowat
Host: Daniel Foytik
Featuring a custom score by Nico Vettese, of We Talk of Dreams
Story Summary: 

After a tragedy devours everyone Arthur loves, he wakes up in the hospital terribly burnt and all alone. Art has nothing but time to spend weeping, and following the insurance payout, deep pockets too.

He decides the only way to heal himself is to eat his feelings.

He will eat and eat and eat, push through the tears until he has his family in his arms again.

He will grow them back.

Trigger Warnings: eating disorders, death of a child, body horror, body modification, pregnancy, animal cruelty, death of a pet.

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.
