As the sunlight fades to darkness and the frightful tails creep into your mind, it's

time to give in to your fear, because tonight there will be no sleep.

Welcome, everyone, to the No Sleep Podcast. I'm your host, David Cummings.

For the ninth episode of Season 2, we have four stories for you, and they all revolve around

the disturbing relationships that people can form with their lovers or families.

We have a new narrator joining the fold this week, C. H. Williamson.

He contacted me a little while ago, and mentioned that his narrating experience

included some volunteer work for the Libravox project.

I too have spent some time narrating for Libravox before the podcast became my main outlet for

narration. If you're not familiar with Libravox, it's a volunteer project with the goal of

turning many public domain books into free audio books, books, plays, homes, and other forms of

literature that are no longer under copyright, are divided into sections, and people volunteer

to record themselves narrating certain parts. The parts are then assembled into the whole work

and made available for free. It's similar to Project Gutenberg, except in audiobook form.

There really is a tremendous wealth of literature freely available to everyone in audio format,

thanks to the many people from around the world who contribute to Libravox.

If you're considering getting an audiobook to listen to, when you're not listening to this

podcast, of course, do yourself a favor and check out Libravox. Just go to Libravox.org.

That's L-I-B-R-I-V-O-X dot org. It's a noble project worth supporting.

I also wanted to mention something that I discovered this week. You see, I'm a guy from Canada,

and every now and again, I'll check out iTunes to see if the podcast has gotten any more reviews

or ratings. For quite a while, I was seeing the usual numbers. 11 ratings, thankfully all of them
