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.

Race yourself for the no-sleep podcast.

It's Episode 22 of Season 2. Welcome to the show. I'm your host, David Cummings. We have four

tales for you in this episode featuring stories about scandalous surgeons, campus

creeps, vexatious visitors, and distorted reality. I want to bring to your attention the show notes

that appear on our website, theno-sleeppodcast.com. Each episode has information about the authors

and narrators, plus links to the stories in case you want to read along with them. Make sure you

check for links to the various authors featured on the episodes. This episode features another

story from one of the podcast's most prolific authors, William Delphin. You can get the link to

his Facebook page to keep up to date with his consistently excellent writing. I also use the

show notes to highlight other news and information from our past and present contributors.

For instance, you may recall the stories that have been on the podcast from author Sam Hunt.

His tale Talent Show was on Episode 10 this season, and his story The Chimney Sweep was on our

Christmas episode. Sam has recently published his first novel, entitled The Whirlwind in the Thorn

Tree, which has been called a highly-reviewed fantasy gunslinger epic from a master of

adventure. I'll post links in the show notes for this episode to Sam's websites, where you can

find more information about him, his novel, and where to find it online. I am especially pleased

to bring to your attention a new narrator joining us for this episode. Nicole Dulan is a voice actor

and writer. Nicole has performed voiceovers for various mediums and podcasts, and she also

writes fiction, poetry, and plays. Nicole also has her own engaging literary podcast called

Audio Literature Odyssey, where she brings the pages of classic literature to life.
