Welcome to The Wicked Library for our season of Sci-Fi Themed Horror. 
Author: Samantha Mayotte
Storyteller: Addison Peacock
Host: Jessica McEvoy
Featuring a custom score by Nico Vettese, of We Talk of Dreams. 
Story Summary: 

Humans are imperfect beings, often leaving us wishing and wanting more for ourselves. To be taller, skinnier, fitter, faster, to be someone, or something, other than ourselves. If you found a mysterious Organization that could promise just that–perfection, in whatever way you want it–would you take it or let it slip through your fingers? Would you let them alter your anatomy, down to your very genetic code, to become the version of yourself you always dreamed of being?

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: 

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.

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….

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.

Featuring a custom score by Nico Vettese, of We Talk of Dreams. 
Story Summary: 
Lizzy is a bi-racial teen who escapes her reality of growing up in a homogeneously white rural town in Central Pennsylvania in the mid-80’s by dropping acid and embracing the local punk scene. A typical evening out turns nightmarish when she discovers that the LSD she’s been taking can transport her through time.
