Soft spoken reading of the Wood of the Dead by Algernon Blackwood.

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.

Because this video is intended for you to relax and fall asleep, I’m hoping by adding this hashtag that YouTube becomes aware of the placement of ads on certain video types, like ASMR.Video art and video animation are done by me using CapCut, Canva Pro, Movavi, and Motionleap tools.
