Author: Michael A. Arnzen
Storyteller: Graham Rowat
Host: Jeanette Andromeda
Featuring a custom score by Nico Vettese, of We Talk of Dreams.
Story Summary:
Billy deeply loved his Grandma Baccalieri. She kept him warm and happy after his parents died and he had to move in with her. He especially enjoyed her baked desserts from the old country — from her cinnamon cream torte to her vanilla-blueberry pie.
But Billy knew that his Grandma just had to die. Because of her malochia… her horrible, evil eye… her terrifying curse….
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.
