    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.

    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.
