TWL 721: Extra Wicked Summer Anthology Jul 08, 2017

Show notes

This week, thanks to our Patreon supporters and some very Wicked Authors, we have been able to produce three Extra Wicked tales for you all.
These stories are heard first by our Patreon supporters with a new tale being released each month. But, since the goal of The Wicked Library is always the promotion of the writers, artists, and composers, we wanted to share these bonus tales with our entire audience. Please support the authors by finding their other work and adding it to your collection, and help keep the extra stories coming by supporting the show you love on Patreon.
"Amputation Capital" by Tyler Woodsmall, narrated by Addison Peacock.
Allie is in the business of purchasing celebrity skin, and selling it for a profit - a very large profit. She sees her "suppliers" solely as commodities, but that might be about to change.
"The Pit" by Meg Hafdahl, narrated by Jessica McEvoy
No longer in use, a mine pit on the outskirts of a rural Minnesota town was stripped and flooded, causing it to become the perfect swimming hole. Since she was in diapers, Melissa has been coming to play in the dark water alone.
"Mrs. Morrison's Pie" by Nelson W. Pyles, Narrated by Nichole Goodnight
Mrs. Morrison has a favor to ask of an old..."friend" -- one who's been visiting her for many years as part of an ongoing arrangement. The ladies normally pass the time during their visits with conversation, games, coffee, and pie. But, this year, Mrs. Morrison sweetens the deal with a very special buttermilk pie to ensure she gets what she needs.

TWL 720: "Bone Peyote", by Ricardo Victoria Jul 01, 2017

Show notes

A journal is found that tells an incredible story about a young man and his friend's experiments with a powerful form of traditional medicine called "Bone Peyote". Like all medicine, Peyote, and especially Bone Peyote must be respected, because it opens up doorways to places that are closed for a reason. When man thinks he knows better than the gods, there may be no turning back.
