Don't Touch the Sides, written by Pam Breshears (that's me!)

A mother stays home sick, listening to her children play a board game downstairs. But each buzz of the game jolts through her body like fire — pulling her back to a memory she’s spent decades trying to forget.

Is it fever? Dream? Or something far worse?

This is domestic horror at its sharpest: where the ordinary turns sour, the comforting becomes suffocating, and even the sound of crayons on paper hums with menace.

🕯️ Ambience: A low, relentless brown noise hum underscores the entire story — a constant, inescapable drone that blurs the line between dream and reality. Some hospital beeps are included in the last quarter of the story.

If you enjoy eerie, slow-burn horror with an ASMR-style delivery, you’ll love this one. Let the buzzing pull you in… but whatever you do:

Don’t. Touch. The sides.

CHAPTER II: "YOU OPENED IT" (by yours truly, Pam Breshears)

Therion Scorn and WereTortoise, I truly apologize for not adding you to the credits 💙

You follow Mistress Midnight into the drowned heart of Innsmouth, where stone streets echo with ancient secrets and temples sink beneath the tide. The townsfolk do not speak—but their eyes follow. Something in them remembers you.

Beneath a crumbling sanctuary swallowed by the sea, the scroll waits—sealed in silence, tainted by prophecy. When you take it, the darkness breathes. When you open it… something opens back.

Mistress Midnight does not stop you. She wanted this.

There is no choice this time, Lorekeeper. The consequences are already in motion.

Soft spoken reading of Algernon Blackwood's Wood of the Dead.

In The Wood of the Dead, Algernon Blackwood weaves an eerie tale of isolation, spectral whispers, and the ominous presence of the past. The story follows a traveler who arrives in a remote village, where the air is thick with an uncanny stillness. As he wanders into the ancient forest bordering the settlement, he encounters an unsettling old man—one who speaks in cryptic riddles about the dead lingering among the trees.

The deeper the traveler ventures, the more he feels the suffocating weight of unseen eyes and the rustling of something beyond the physical world. The villagers live in quiet fear, their words laced with hints of long-forgotten sins and restless spirits that refuse to be buried. The wood itself seems alive, pulsating with an unnatural presence that hungers for recognition.

As the tale unfolds, Blackwood masterfully builds an atmosphere of creeping dread, blending folklore, the supernatural, and psychological horror into a chilling meditation on mortality and the unseen forces that stalk the living. The traveler—skeptical at first—soon finds that some boundaries between life and death are not easily crossed... nor easily escaped.

Soft spoken reading of The Yellow Sign by Robert W Chambers, featuring a light rain on a tin roof as background ambience. Listen with headphones for the best experience.The Yellow Sign is one of the most haunting tales in Robert W. Chambers’ The King in Yellow, a collection that blends gothic horror with a creeping sense of cosmic dread. Set in New York City, the story follows an artist, Mr. Scott, and his young model, Tessie, as they become ensnared in the eerie influence of a strange, grotesque night watchman outside their studio. Tessie, lighthearted at first, grows disturbed when she dreams of the man, whose unsettling presence hints at something beyond mortal comprehension. As their lives intertwine with the mysteries of The King in Yellow—a forbidden play that drives readers to madness—the narrative spirals toward an inevitable, chilling revelation.A masterwork of unsettling atmosphere, The Yellow Sign plays with themes of fate, perception, and an ominous force lurking just beyond the veil of reason. Chambers’ tale is one of quiet horror, where the real terror lies not in monstrous threats, but in the creeping certainty that something unspeakable is waiting... just outside the window.Soft spoken ASMR is used to provide listeners with comfort to ease symptoms of insomnia, anxiety, depression, and ptsd.

Soft spoken reading of HP Lovecraft's Celephaïs, 1920. Set against the eerie creaking of a drifting pirate ship on the ocean. Listen with headphones for the best experience.

Celephaïs is a mesmerizing tale from Lovecraft’s Dream Cycle, following the journey of Kuranes, a man disillusioned with reality who seeks refuge in his dreams. Once a child who imagined the radiant city of Celephaïs, he grows into a weary adult, desperate to return to the dream-world. As his earthly life crumbles, he plunges deeper into sleep, chasing visions of turquoise temples, timeless streets, and galleys that sail into the sky.

But dreams are fickle, and the boundary between fantasy and madness blurs. When knights from Celephaïs finally arrive to escort him home, he embarks on a surreal voyage through time, back to his ancestral estate—only to awaken as king and god of the dream-city. Yet in the waking world, his body washes up on the shores of Cornwall, lost to the tides of reality.

Soft spoken reading of HP Lovecraft's Azathoth, 1922. With ominous cave ambience, listen with headphones for the best experience.

At the heart of the abyss, where time dissolves and space is meaningless, the dreamer finds Azathoth—the mindless, seething center of the universe. A force of chaos, madness, and unreasoning destruction, Azathoth is the blind idiot god whose presence nullifies all thought and order. The story ends with the terrifying realization that beyond human imagination lies nothing but writhing, chaotic horror—and the dreamer is lost within its merciless embrace.

Short but evocative, Azathoth is less a narrative and more a fragment of cosmic dread—one that hints at the unfathomable horrors that lurk beyond the fragile veil of sanity.

Soft spoken ASMR / narration of Genius Loci by Clark Ashton Smith. In the desolate wilds within a dark meadow, a sinister force lurks, veiling the land in an eerie shadow. The artist, captivated by the haunting beauty of the place, becomes obsessed with capturing its essence. Despite dire warnings about the malevolent spirit that haunts the area, the artist delves deeper into his fascination and as his obsession grows, the landscape's dark influence tightens its grip, leading to a terrifying climax. The once serene surroundings reveal their true, ghastly nature, proving that some places are better left undisturbed.

Villagers gather in the town square, exchanging nervous glances and forced pleasantries. As names are drawn and tension builds, the true, sinister purpose of the lottery is revealed. The once-benign ceremony transforms into a chilling act of violence, exposing the horrifying depths of conformity and the darkness lurking within human nature.
