    Step into the gaslit, fog-choked streets of 1888 Whitechapel — where survival isn’t safety, and being a woman means navigating judgment, poverty, violence, and fear on every corner.

    In this immersive, second-person sleep story, you are not a detective, not the killer, and not the headline — you're just one of the countless women trying to stay alive while the city looks the other way. From brutal labor conditions to terrifying nights under flickering gaslamps, this slow-burning historical journey explores what it meant to endure as a working-class woman during the era of Jack the Ripper — when death came quietly, and survival was rarely rewarded.

    Perfect for those who enjoy dark history, calm narration, and bedtime stories that whisper hard truths.

    You thought it would be an adventure. A once-in-a-lifetime journey with history’s most famous explorer. Instead, you got dysentery in Bactria, frostbite in the Hindu Kush, and camel spit in your only blanket. From Venetian docks to Mongol palaces, watch as you survive (barely) the greatest overland expedition of the 13th century — while Marco Polo takes all the credit.

    In this slow, immersive, darkly funny historical sleep story, you’ll trudge across deserts, puke in marketplaces, hallucinate in tents, and witness the grandeur of Kublai Khan’s court — all from the most underpaid and over-traveled position imaginable.

    Perfect for winding down, passing out, or existentially questioning your travel choices.

    In 1700s Paris, fire wasn’t just a danger — it was a sentence. In this immersive historical journey, we follow the grim, slow unraveling of a survivor who endures not only the flames, but the brutal medicine, social rejection, and haunting aftermath that follows. Told from the second-person perspective, this story plunges you into the agony, isolation, and endurance of life after surviving something you were never meant to.

    This is not a story of triumph. It’s a story of surviving survival.

    Perfect for fans of dark historical storytelling, sleep-friendly narration, and unsettling realism. Turn down the lights, settle in, and prepare to descend into one of the quietest horrors history forgot.

Listening to his calm deep voice was very relaxing. The stories are interesting enough to keep my mind from wondering off about everything I need to do tomrrow, but not so interesting that I had to stay awake to see what happened next. Fantastic bedtime listening.

Just what I needed to sleep
