Hey, my name's Otis Gray, and you're listening to Sleepy.

A podcast where I read old books to help you get to sleep. So, the fun thing about the year rolling around in January coming by is that means there's all kinds of new stuff in the public domain.

And this month, I'm going to be bringing you a lot of those new works that are in the public domain, including tonight's

kind of Agatha Christie-esque murder mystery, which is a really, really great story.

And before we get to the bedtime reading tonight, I just want to profoundly thank all of our

new patrons on patreon.com,

which is a website where you can pledge a couple bucks for an ad-free version of Sleepy.

So, this week's brand new patrons. Christy Reynolds, John, Josh Joel, Carol Richardson, Emily F, Tara Elwell, Evan Massaro, SpaceCap, Holly,

and Miriam Ayala.

Thank you all so, so much for donating and being a part of making this show it really really means a lot

and for anyone who doesn't know these names that i just read are brand new supporters of sleepy on

patreon.com which is simply a site that allows you to support the people who make the stuff they like.

So if you want to be a part of making this show directly and get cool perks in exchange,

like having your name read on the show or having an ad-free version of Sleepy,

then you can go to patreon.com slash Sleepy Radio.

Thank you.

And as always, the music you're hearing
