    Ivy Insights

    The Wicked Library podcast is a must-listen for any fan of horror and dark fiction. I have been listening to this podcast for several years now, and I continue to be impressed by the high quality of the stories, narration, and production value. The library is filled with a wide range of authors, each bringing their own unique voice to the genre. One standout feature of this podcast is the incredible talent of Daniel Foytek as Old Frank Enfield. His voice, narration, and writing style are absolutely perfect for this character, and his contributions to the show have always been a highlight for me.

    Another standout voice actor on this podcast is Graham Rowatt, known for his work on The No Sleep Podcast and The Grey Rooms. While I am a huge fan of Rowatt's voice acting skills, I have to admit that he does not quite capture the essence of Frank Enfield as well as Foytek did. This transition has taken some getting used to, but it does not detract from the overall quality of the podcast.

    One aspect that could use improvement is the release schedule and consistency of episodes. Over the years, there have been periods where episodes were released sporadically or with long gaps in between. As a Patreon member who pays for early access to episodes, I hope that things will level out and become more consistent in the future.

    Despite this minor drawback, The Wicked Library remains one of my favorite podcasts. The selection of stories is excellent, covering a wide range of horror themes and styles. The narration is top-notch, with talented voice actors bringing these tales to life in chilling detail. Additionally, the interviews with authors provide valuable insights into their creative process.

    In conclusion, if you are a fan of horror fiction and enjoy well-crafted storytelling accompanied by immersive sound design and expert narration, then The Wicked Library podcast is definitely worth checking out. With its extensive library of episodes spanning several years, this podcast offers a treasure trove of dark and twisted tales that should not be missed. I highly recommend becoming a Patreon supporter to ensure the continued success of this fantastic podcast and gain access to all the wonderful stories it has to offer.

The silence from the Johnson farm confirmed Emma's suspicions. The whole county now saw her as the angel of death. A midwife lost a child or a mother from time to time—it was inevitable over the course of twenty years—but this menagerie of deaths, in less than a year, was another matter.“The Starsick”In the beginning the Johnsons didn't call on Emma to midwife Peggy's pregnancy, and she believed it was because of the string of deaths.

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.
