TWL 1301: “Almost Finished Business” by Lindsey Goddard

Episode Summary: Welcome to Season 13 of The Wicked Library. In our premiere episode, we feature a tale by returning author Lindsey Goddard. "Almost Finished Business" is a darkly humorous story of revenge from beyond the grave, featuring a grudge-bearing ghost, a poodle named Marshmallow, and a haunting that's more personal than paranormal.​

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.
