Welcome to The Wicked Library for our season of Sci-Fi Themed Horror.

Author: Sarah Read
Storyteller: Mary Murphy
Host: Nico Vettese
Featuring a custom score by Nico Vettese, of We Talk of Dreams.

Story Summary:
Marta is one of two staff running the Terror Bay Resort, an immersive, automated reenactment of the disaster that befell the ships Terror and Erebus back when the arctic still had ice. The disaster plays over and over again, like a haunting, like a memory the land can’t forget. And this time, it’s a little too real.

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.
