Widely accepted as one of America's first ghost stories, enjoy this story in it's original voice with references in real time to early American landmarks and characters.

As always we've cocooned this bedtime story with cozy music and the sounds of evening nature to help you find your best sleep.

Clip at beginning comes from "Walt Disney's Kansas City Home" available from Amazon.

Welcome to Season 3! I'm glad you're here.

Tonight's Sleepy Story is well-accepted as one of the earliest American Ghost Stories. As always, we've included lovely music and peaceful outdoor evening noises to help you find that perfect deep sleep.

Before we begin tonight's episode please enjoy a couple minutes of my new narration of Kyle Bumbalough's The Enchanted Stone available on Amazon: https://www.audible.com/pd/B0DCPCGMGM/?source_code=AUDFPWS0223189MWU-BK-ACX0-409877&ref=acx_bty_BK_ACX0_409877_pd_us

As fall approaches, what better way to curl up than with a good old fashioned scary story?

We return with Season 3 in two weeks! Until then, please enjoy this repeat episode of early science fiction piece, The Invisible Man, originally written in 1897 and presented in Pearson's Weekly.

For our family listeners, please enjoy a snippet from the recently released on Audible "Quest for the Enchanted Stone" by Kyle Bumbalough. Narrated by Jama Smith of Falling Asleep With a Good Book.

For our Season 2 finale, please enjoy this ghost story with a lesson about the human condition. Complete with evening sounds and our trademark peaceful music, this spectral tale is neither light hearted nor heavy. It is, however, perfect to fall asleep to.

It first appeared in a popular magazine in the late 1800s, The Idle.

This sci fi short with a female heroine was first published in the pulp fiction magazine "Planet Stories" in the fall of 1944. Enjoy these rich future-living planet-traveling characters thwarting a nine-planet dictatorship (to peaceful music and cricket noises) all conceived during the actual World War Two era.

Tonight's bedtime read comes from a fan-favorite of Falling Asleep With a Good Book, Agatha Christie. Written barely a year after the discovery of Tutankhamuns's Tomb, this Poirot mystery takes full advantage of the fear of the mummy's revenge prevalent in that day. As always, complete with night sounds and peaceful music, let's fall asleep to the light-hearted problem solving of Hercule Poirot.

Tonight, enjoy the conclusion of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum as you slip off into a beautiful deep sleep. Does the story end similarly to the movie? Does Dorothy get home? Will you fall asleep before you find out?...I hope so.

Next week: The Adventure of the Egyptian Tomb by Agatha Christie
