Story Summary: Today’s episode, Von Hameln, is a special presentation of the first mini-series we created for Victoria’s Lift and tells the tale of Victoria facing down an ancient foe and trying to overcome his Wicked plan. It originally aired as a three-part adventure, but for your enjoyment and convenience, I have combined the full story into a single episode.Millenia ago, several Keys were created, one being Victoria’s Music Box. While investigating the mysterious abduction of children, Victoria meets the twisted owner of another Key and realizes she may have met her match.Subscribe to Victoria’s Lift in Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts. Part Twilight Zone, but wholly unique, the show is an award nominated audio drama with an average rating of 4.7 out of 5 on Apple Podcasts. Most of 77 episodes follow visitors as they meet the mysterious Guide and are prompted to make a choice. Others reveal secrets about the building, Victoria, and her music box.Warning: The Wicked Library is a horror fiction podcast created for a mature audience.

E

Welcome to The Wicked Library for our season of Sci-Fi Themed Horror. Author: Ricardo VictoriaStoryteller: André Luc Martinez Host: Addison PeacockFeaturing a custom score by Nico Vettese, of We Talk of Dreams. 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. Warning: The Wicked Library is a horror fiction podcast created for a mature audience.
