This is a horror story telling podcast. Our tails are dark and disturbing, intended to shake you up.

Listen at your own risk.

We are all around you all right. And tonight there will be no sleep.

Brace yourself for the no sleep podcast.

For the dark hours, our tails are approaching rise. Tails of the horror and the fright of death.

Join us as for sleepless hours and take your bath and sleep.

It's the no sleep podcast. I'm David Cummings. Thanks for joining us. On this week's show we have five tails about escape devil, horrifying heritage and conjured creatures.

It's my pleasure to welcome back to Friends of the Show for this week's episode. I've mentioned in the past that my favorite podcast is not. In fact, this one, I don't really care for this one. The host is annoying.

But rather, it's the Jimmy Parto comedy podcast called Never Not Funny. One of the cast members on that podcast is the intern, Garren Cockrell.

Long time fans of no sleep may recall a story we did of Garren's back in season three called Eggs.

Well, Garren has penned not only a new tale that we're proud to adapt for audio, but he also is close to completing his second horror novel.

I'll be sure to bring it to your attention when it comes out. So welcome back, Garren. We're thrilled to have another one of your stories on our show.

And joining us to perform in Garren's story is Peter Dyseth of TV's Better Call Saul and our season eight finale. It's a pleasure to have you back with us, Peter, and a thrill for me to be able to act with you, albeit from two different countries, thousands of miles apart.

Hmm, probably more pleasant for you that way.

And finally, since I've already mentioned Never Not Funny and Better Call Saul, I want to give a hearty recommendation for the return of the TV series Twin Peaks.

I was a huge fan of the original series, and it's great to see what creator David Lynch is doing with the new series.

I know it's not a show for everyone, but since you're a fan of horror and odd, disturbing storytelling, you really should check this out.

It's weird, freaky, trippy, and brilliantly unsettling. Lynch's visuals and sound design are worth experiencing. I find myself mesmerized by it.

So there you go, lots to see and hear. And speaking of hearing, we have our stories ready for your ears, so let's wait no further and kick off this week's show.

In our first tale, we meet a woman who decides on a new career path in the world of paranormal investigation.

But as we learn from author MJ Pack, when she decides to consider a tragic event from years past, she discovers that some memories don't just linger, they invade.

And please note, while this story takes place in the supernatural realm, it might be a good idea to check the show notes on our website for the trigger warnings, especially for parents.
