Join us on this dark and unsettling journey at your own risk

Because behind these doors there will be no sleep

Brace yourself for the no sleep podcast

It's the no sleep podcast. I'm David Cummins. Thanks for joining us. On the show this week we have five tales about ferocious forests, pressured prisoners, hand sinister songs.

This is our last episode before our season 10 finale. And I'm proud to announce next week's finale will be the long-awaited sequel to the tale known as

A Sea Side British Pub. CM Scandraith's Tale is a sweeping return to the pub and the regular group of mystical patrons. You won't want to miss the tale over two hours long and free for one and all.

And if you haven't heard the original tale, check your feeds on Monday. We'll release a standalone episode with the original story so you can get acquainted or re-acquainted with the barmaid as she works in that strange establishment.

As we're close to bringing season 10 to a close, I want to take a moment to thank you, our great listeners and fans, for your tremendous support.

The feedback we've received for season 10 has been overwhelmingly positive. We've been inundated with so many messages of encouragement about how the stories and productions continue to get better and better.

We're thrilled that you continue to love what we do. As always, we're committed to working our hardest to bring you the best audio horror fiction we can.

We're excited about season 11 and we can't wait to share with you folks some new and exciting forms of storytelling.

But all this talk about finalies and the new season shouldn't distract us from the most important topic at hand, episode 24.

It's locked and loaded. The stories are set. So let's start the journey.

In our first tale, we meet a woman who is in need of a break to get out and clear her head.

But as we learn from author Holly Dionis, perhaps a walk in the woods isn't the best idea when women in the area have been reported missing lately.

Performing this tale are Nicole Goodnight, Nicole Dulan, Jessica McAvoy, Erin Lillis and Mike DelGaudio.

So if you need a break, I'd suggest keeping well clear of the height away.

Many would say it was a dumb, thoughtless act for me to go out hiking in the forest alone when there'd been a spat of disappearances in the area.

You'll get no argument for me. My self-preservation instincts have never been the best, especially when I'm upset.

And oh boy was I upset that drizzly evening when I stormed out of my apartment and drove to the secluded forest car park at the base of Mount Lucas.

Walking the Lucas Forest trail alone as dusk falls is was a comfort food.
