Welcome to our sleepless sanctuary. You enter a choreo risk and choose to be entertained

with dark and disturbing horror stories. You have been warned.

Do the dark hours when you dare not close your eyes. Tails of horror to frighten and disturb.

Join us as the sleepless hours tick past.

Pray for yourself for the no sleep podcast.

Welcome to the no sleep podcast sanctuary. I'm David Cummings.

Our service this week features tales about the games we play and the cost of losing.

We welcome you to season 12 of our show. And since the number 12 carries religious, mythological

and magical symbolism, we felt it appropriate to present this season from our no sleep sanctuary.

It's a dark little chapel with enough room for our modest choir of not so angelic singers.

A big thank you to our choir director Brandon Boone for gathering a real choir to perform

this season's theme and our senior producer Phil McCalsky for capturing the sinister

nuances of the sanctuary. We pray you enjoy our liturgical deliverance this season.

And since all good sanctuaries need a good book or two, I'm happy to recommend a new

one to you. Author Gemma Amor has recently released her new book titled Cruel Works

of Nature. It's an anthology of 11 of her excellent tales, some of which you've heard

on this show. And Gemma is not just a great writer but also a talented artist and she has

illustrated each story with her hand drawn art. Check the show notes for how you can own

or gift a copy of this book. It's one you'll definitely want to add to your library.

And of course a new season means a new season pass now on sale. It's available along with

some new bundles so make sure you check them out at the no sleep podcast.com. And with Christmas

right around the corner we'll have some fun bundles available during our festive Christmas
