Episodes typically run thirty-five to sixty minutes — most land between 32 min and 1h 3m — though episode length varies meaningfully from one episode to the next.

S13 Ep 3TWL 1303: “Two Tales from Mr. Nadel’s Shop” by Virelle Nocturne
EWelcome to Season 13 of The Wicked Library. In this episode of The Wicked Library, we dive into the depths with two takes by Virelle Nocturne. Behind the soft golden light of a curious little tailor’s shop, a man named Mr. Nadel weaves more than fine suits—he tailors identity itself. But the cut is never without cost.This week, we open the dressing room curtain on the first two stories from a new anthology series:“The Man Who Wanted Confidence” – A man seeks presence, poise, and certainty. What he receives changes everything… even the way he loves.“The Man Who Wanted to Be Slimmer” – A man desperate to feel smaller discovers the suit doesn’t just reshape the body—it reshapes the soul.Each tale is sewn with care, threaded with longing, and finished with a truth that doesn’t always fit as comfortably as one might hope.Produced by: Daniel FoytikHosted by: Daniel FoytikAuthor: Virelle NocturneNarration: Daniel FoytikCustom Score: 9th Story Studios LLCArtwork: Sable MorrowMain Theme: “The Library Awakens” Nico VetteseFinal Audio Mix: Daniel Foytik, 9th Story Studios LLCFX: freesound.orgWarning: The Wicked Library is a horror fiction podcast created for a mature audience.

S13 Ep 2TWL 1302: “How Will You Woo Her?” by Sabella Dziabczenko
EEpisode Summary:Welcome to Season 13 of The Wicked Library. In this episode of The Wicked Library, we dive into the depths with a haunting seafolk tale by Sabella Dziabczenko."How Will You Woo Her?" is a tale of haunting beauty, ravenous desire, and the terrible cost of being seen by man. Beneath the waves, Grandmother Hydra tells a cautionary tale to her brood of sea-born granddaughters—a dark fairytale from the deep, where songs can drown ships, and the soul is the cruelest curse of all.Credits:Produced and Hosted: Daniel FoytikHosted by: Daniel FoytikAuthor: Sabella DziabczenkoNarration: Addison PeacockCustom Score: Nico Vettese of The Inky PawprintArtwork: Sable MorrowMain Theme: "The Library Awakens" Nico VetteseFinal Audio Mix: Daniel Foytik, 9th Story Studios LLCFX: freesound.orgWarning:The Wicked Library is a horror fiction podcast created for a mature audience.

And always remember, that unlike in the real world, these nightmares, and your participation in them, are under your control.Special Content Warning:As longtime listeners of The Wicked Library know, we love the older, darker fairy tales. These non-sanitized tales were meant to caution, warn, and disturb, leaving a deep, lasting impression on those who heard them—they are the original horror stories.They never shied away from exploring the darkest depths of human nature, and tonight’s tale, while it is a modern story, follows in that tradition. Like many fairy tales, it contains elements of body horror, transformation, and unsettling themes of power, control, and obsession. There are moments of intense violence, non-consensual touch, psychological and physical trauma, and acts of unimaginable cruelty, including harm to the most innocent among us. Yet, despite its horrors, this is a compelling and powerfully terrifying tale—one that calls to the depths like a siren’s song, both haunting and irresistible—dragging you unrelentingly deeper into dark waters. Listener discretion is very strongly advised.Get Your Copy:Get your copy of The Wicked Library Presents: 13 Wicked Tales on Kindle, or in print.

Five years after a traumatic incident on the Sea of Ice, one of the largest glaciers in the world, Harry seeks the crevasse into which his climbing companion disappeared. The frozen depths might not be as safe as he believed. In the cold and the dark, Harry will confront his fears, and learn, through a harrowing journey into the bowels of the glacier, that if you gaze long enough into the abyss, it stares right back at you.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.Producers: Daniel Foytik & Meg WilliamsResident Composer & Executive Producer: Nico Vettese, of We Talk of DreamsHosted by: Daniel FoytikArtwork: Greg ShafferScore & Incidental Music: Nico VetteseMain Theme: “The Library Awakens” Nico VetteseFinal Audio Mix: Daniel Foytik, 9th Story Studios LLCGet your copy of The Wicked Library Presents: 13 Wicked Tales on Kindle, or in print.
