Welcome to Season 12 episode 1208.
Today’s episode features a story by Alexis Dubon: “Her Drowned Envy”. Performed by Addison Peacock, with a custom score by Nico Vettese of The Inky Pawprint.
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.
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.

Customer Reviews
Perfectly Wicked
Favorite collection of scary stories under one pod. Just added this one. There’s plenty of content. Having a blast catching up.
Thank You
This show has helped me through some dark periods. I lost my job due to COVID-19 and have had difficulty finding another role since, despite 12-14 hours / day sending my resume to recruiters and employers.
Listening to the stories helps me to get through writing and editing countless cover letters and tedious, repetitive work. One day, hopefully soon, I will repay you for the hours and hours of stories that have aided in my sanity.
I appreciate all of you who work so hard to produce excellent content.
Wickedly Awesome
I Love this podcast. There are so many different writers so every story takes you to a different world.I have to admit I don’t always listen to the authors interviews but those are great to especially for people who may want to become writers too.
