But now the station is incommunicado, and it's up to a brave few to descend through the lightless fathoms in hopes of unraveling the mysteries lurking at those crushing depths…and perhaps to encounter an evil blacker than anything one could possibly imagine. In order to study this phenomenon, a special research lab, the Trieste, has been built eight miles under the sea's surface. ![]() ![]() It may just be the key to a universal cure. His company of bespoke-suited Storm troopers or a tatted-out Audrey Hepburn overturn the familiar tropes of popular culture, merging characters and ideas in. But now, far below the surface of the Pacific Ocean, deep in the Marianas Trench, an heretofore unknown substance hailed as "ambrosia" has been discovered-a universal healer, from initial reports. Then their bodies forget how to function involuntarily…and there is no cure.

Listen to “The NoSleep Podcast” on Spotify, Apple Podcasts and at the acclaimed author of The Troop-which Stephen King raved "scared the hell out of me and I couldn't put it down.…old-school horror at its best"-comes this utterly terrifying novel where The Abyss meets The Shining.Ī strange plague called the 'Gets is decimating humanity on a global scale. Not every story chills your bones like “Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark,” but it’s worth a listen if you’re looking to get scared while wearing headphones in a perfectly well-lit room. “The NoSleep Podcast” has both bloody gems and fool’s gold, and it’s up to you to mine out the good stuff that’s worth getting scared for.
