Welcome to Season 12 episode 1202. Today’s episode features a story by Vincent Robert-Nicoud: “It Stares Back at You”. Performed by Graham Rowat, with a custom score by Nico Vettese of We Talk of Dreams.
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.
