Welcome to The Wicked Library for our season of Sci-Fi Themed Horror. Author: Ricardo VictoriaStoryteller: André Luc Martinez Host: Addison PeacockFeaturing a custom score by Nico Vettese, of We Talk of Dreams. Story Summary: Exploring the cosmos is a risky proposition. It is cold, silent, uncaring, and vast. No matter how well prepared, or how careful you are, nothing can protect you from the unexpected.
