Welcome to the Nightmare Magazine Story podcast. Enter freely and of your own free will. I am your humble host, Terence Taylor, one very much at home with the Children of the Night.
Stay close as my muse, the medieval demon Gobelah, guides us down into beautiful darkness. In this episode before our full length story, we have a short shot. Review, Win the Baby Sleeps, written by Lindsay Menousos and narrated by Justin Air. But first, a word from our sponsors.
And now, Justin Air. Review, When the Baby Sleeps by Lindsay Manusos. The initial spark for this story was a writing prompt I saw online about writing a review for a horror movie that doesn't exist.
That was the opening. The rest of the episode (43 min) is in the player: every word clickable, with translation, saved words and flashcards.
