What horrors await in the dark waters of the Cape Fear River?
Water. It gives us life. We are drawn to it. Yet it holds immense power over us. It can bring unspeakable horror to the most familiar places. Your morning shower, a tranquil riverbank, or the endless ocean. It's time to dive deep into the abyss. From the dark waters of the Cape Fear River, immerse yourself in horror as you brace yourself for the No Sleep Podcast.
In his 1919 essay titled The Uncanny, Sigmund Freud wrote, The subject of the uncanny undoubtedly belongs to all that is terrible, to all that arouses dread and creeping horror. Unlike some of his contemporaries who theorized that this phenomenon was associated with the fear of the unknown, Freud believed this uncanny experience was rooted in the familiar environment of our childhood. Whether or not it's the familiar or the unfamiliar which triggers the uncanny experience, we've all encountered people, places, or things that make us feel dread. And luckily for us, there have been many well-crafted horror stories produced on the podcast through the years, providing plenty of opportunities to experience the uncanny.
There's a spectrum of styles, from the suggestive to the graphic. Something for everyone. Welcome to the podcast. I'm your host, Nicole Doolin, and I've been voice acting on the show for over 10 years. Before I started on No Sleep, I appeared in the horror podcast Tales to Terrify, which was hosted at the time by the late horror writer and actor Lawrence Santoro, who discovered my voice work on the internet and asked me to perform horror stories for them. That's how David found me, and he invited me to join the No Sleep podcast. If I remember correctly, my first story was Forget Me Not, a blend of horror and science fiction. I like speculative fiction, so I enjoy horror, sci-fi, and fantasy.
What is the story 'Wait in the Car' about?
Also historical fiction. So you can still find me on the Tales to Terrify podcast where I perform horror stories solo. If you like science fiction, they're also starting a new sci-fi anthology podcast called Folded Space, which is premiering this September. And in it, I will perform a space opera like no other. So stay tuned. And if you're interested in horror stories for younger audiences, I star alongside Atticus Jackson in the Nightmare Soup podcast. I want to take a moment to thank you for being a part of the No Sleep family. There's a lot of chaos and division in the world, but we've managed to find common ground here.
How does 'Heebie Jeebies' explore childhood fears?
People from various parts of the globe listen to and support the show, while others contribute their talent, skill, and imagination, and that's something worth celebrating. I know that listening to the stories can provide a diversion from life's challenges, but performing them can also be diverting. When I sit down in front of the microphone and hit record, my concerns fade and I am drawn right into that other world that the writer has created. And it can be very therapeutic. So I'm truly grateful that you make this podcast possible. And I hope that we've provided you with a pleasant escape all these years. Or should I say a horrible escape? A pleasantly horrible escape? Hmm. Hmm. Anyway, it's been a long journey with many ups and downs.
But we can all leave our troubles behind us and look forward to the future. Or can we? What if no matter what you do, the past comes back to haunt you anyway? What if the secrets you've buried might get exposed? What if the monsters you hope to escape find you? In today's episode, our characters have certainly had their fair share of challenges and secrets they've guarded. They'd rather not face unpleasant consequences if they're found or found out. Yet it seems time has run out. There's nowhere to hide, and they will have to confront their demons in whatever shape they take, whether they like it or not. It remains to be seen which of them will succeed in keeping their secrets, being freed of their secrets, or destroyed by them.
So let's pry Pandora's box open together and let all the hidden demons out. In our first tale by author Tyler Jones, we meet a mother and son who hit the road in a hurry because it's time to move on.
