"Humans are the reproductive organs of technology." - Kevin KellyBy Annie Marie Morgan and Kevin Schrock

You've heard the stories about alien-like beasts roaming around on the outskirts of Cleveland Ohio.

Today we bring you the true story of the Cleveland Melonheads, as told by the man behin…

In this tale by prolific Nosleep author Travis Brown, two men attending an AA meeting help each other with their addictions.By Annie Marie Morgan and Kevin Schrock

"Growing up with violence, with inescapable expertly choreographed brutality in every home builds not only a kind of desensitization for it, but it also creates a market for violent entertainment by people for whom even what they see on television is not enough, is not graphic enough, is not explicit enough, and some movie productions, some big pro…

There are a lot of authors who come and go on Nosleep, but u/Dopabeane has been posting on and off for nearly a decade. She's currently working on the Fuck HIPAA series, and if she's an author you haven't checked out yet, go give that a read! She was kind enough to let us use one of her biggest stories of all time for this episode, and we couldn't …

I wrote this story in 2016 and it's been heavily re-edited for this episode, as I now know how to use commas in a slightly less annoying way. But it is still very much a time capsule of my writing back then. It's also a bit of a time capsule of what I would call the only sort of paranormal experience I've ever had as it's (very loosely) inspired by…

Anyone who browsed Nosleep back around 2017 or so knows the username u/iia. Anytime he posted you knew you were in for a weird and probably gross time. He's since moved to his own website; Unsettlingstories.com where you can find his work archived. We are very excited to present our rendition of his story The Cave in the Lake, which follows a man w…

The dog doesn't die in this one, but it is already dead.By Annie Marie Morgan and Kevin Schrock

This story was featured in what is widely regarded as the single worst issue of Weird Tales Magazine ever published. When I sent it to Kevin to narrate he said "Why have you done this to me?" I don't know if I would describe it as a "good" story but I love it, so now you all have to listen to it (If you know what I mean).…

Have you been listening to our show and thinking; these stories are great, but I just wish there were more run-on sentences and really drawn-out exposition? In the oldest story we've aired yet by Annie you get to hear all of that! Really though, I wrote this one in 2017 for Nosleep under an old pen name. It was probably the story I was most proud o…

"Pepe looked suspiciously back every minute or so, and his eyes sought the tops of the ridges ahead. Once, on a white barren spur, he saw a black figure for a moment; but he looked quickly away, for it was one of the dark watchers. No one knew who the watchers were, nor where they lived, but it was better to ignore them and never to show interest i…
