Performed by Addison Peacock, with a custom score by Nico Vettese of The Inky Pawprint.<br /><br /><i>Cataclysmic environmental change has made life difficult, and new life impossible. But one woman is determined to be a mother, willing to commit atrocities and suffer agonies if it means she has a baby to call her own. Body horror, eco-horror, and the horror of unremitting envy come together in this near-future story of a world soaked in death.</i><br /><br />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.<br /><br />Producers: Daniel Foytik &amp; Meg Williams<br />Resident Composer &amp; Executive Producer: Nico Vettese, at The Inky Pawprint<br />Hosted by: Daniel Foytik<br />Artwork: Greg Shaffer<br />Score &amp; Incidental Music: Nico Vettese at The Inky Pawprint<br />Main Theme: “The Library Awakens” Nico Vettese<br />Final Audio Mix: Daniel Foytik, 9th Story Studios LLC<br />FX: freesound.org<br /><br />Get your copy of The Wicked Library Presents: 13 Wicked Tales on Kindle, or in print.
