The Willows

Tonight, as part of our annual Spooky Sleep Stories series, we’ll read the opening to the novella “The Willows”. It was written by Algernon Blackwood, and first published in 1907. Two friends drift down the Danube by canoe, threading a maze of shifting channels, sandbanks, and low islands crowded with willow scrub. The river’s moods—eddies, gusts, glittering sun—seem to lean in and watch them, and the thickets along the banks gather like a listening crowd. As night closes, the landscape feels less like scenery and more like a presence with its own designs—most vividly in the willows, which “moved of their own will as though alive.” Blackwood was a devoted outdoorsman and a writer fascinated by the numinous in nature; he often suggested that the wilderness is not merely backdrop but a more-than-human realm. “The Willows” helped define early modern weird fiction by trading blood and monsters for unease and awe, its influence echoed by later authors across the genre. H.P. Lovecraft praised it as the finest supernatural tale in English, and readers still come to it for that distinctive sensation of the world turning subtly, inexorably, strange. — read by 'V' — Sign up for Snoozecast+ to get expanded, ad-free access by going to snoozecast.com/plus!

The Boxcar Children pt. 1

Tonight, we’ll read the opening to “The Boxcar Children” written by first grade school teacher Gertrude Chandler Warner and published in 1924. This episode originally aired in August of 2021, and we will continue to the end of this book over time. The Boxcar Children tells the story of four orphaned children, Henry, Jessie, Violet, and Benny. They create a home for themselves in an abandoned boxcar in the forest. They eventually meet their grandfather, who is a wealthy and kind man (although the children had believed him to be cruel). As she wrote the story, Warner read it aloud to her classes and rewrote it many times to make it easy to understand and enjoyable. — read by V — Sign up for Snoozecast+ to get expanded, ad-free access by going to snoozecast.com/plus!

The Greek Interpreter pt. 1 | Sherlock Holmes

Tonight, we’ll read the first half to "The Adventure of the Greek Interpreter", written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. It is one of 12 stories in the cycle collected as “The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes”. Out of all 56 Sherlock stories, Doyle ranked "The Greek Interpreter" seventeenth in a list of his nineteen favorites. This tale is especially notable for introducing us to Sherlock Holmes’s older brother, Mycroft, whose intellect may even outshine Sherlock’s own, though he lacks his brother’s energy for detective work in the field. Mycroft instead spends his days in government offices and evenings at the Diogenes Club, a setting that itself became an iconic part of the Holmes universe. When it was first published in 1893 in The Strand Magazine, the story added an intriguing new dimension to the detective’s world, showing readers that Holmes’s brilliance was not entirely unique within his family. The case itself revolves around a kidnapped interpreter and a sinister plot, combining Doyle’s flair for atmosphere with clever twists of reasoning. — read by 'N' — Sign up for Snoozecast+ to get expanded, ad-free access by going to snoozecast.com/plus!

Petit Trianon pt. 1

Tonight, we’ll read the first half of The Petit Trianon, adapted from An Adventure by Charlotte Anne Moberly and Eleanor Jourdain, first published in 1911. This episode is part of Snoozecast’s 7th annual Spooky Sleep Story series, where we share true and imagined encounters with the strange and unexplained every October. The two English women, both Oxford academics, recorded their uncanny experience while visiting the gardens of Versailles in 1901. What began as an ordinary afternoon outing soon became one of the most famous “time-slip” mysteries in modern folklore. Their book recounts the event through two separate testimonies, each written without the other’s influence: first that of Miss Morison (Moberly), then Miss Lamont (Jourdain). The pair describe wandering from the lively palace grounds into an oddly still corner of the estate—the Petit Trianon—where they encountered figures, fashions, and a mood belonging to another century. Later, their impressions would be linked to the last days of Queen Marie Antoinette, whose private retreat once stood on the same path. This episode presents the first half of their written accounts. Next week, in Part Two, we’ll continue with the remainder of their story—and the discoveries that followed, as they began to investigate what truly happened that August afternoon. — read by 'V' — Sign up for Snoozecast+ to get expanded, ad-free access by going to snoozecast.com/plus!

The story concerns Anne Elliot, an Englishwoman whose family moves in order to lower their expenses, by renting their home to an Admiral and his wife.In the last episode, Anne visits her old school friend Mrs. Smith in Westgate-buildings. Though Mrs. Smith lives in poverty and poor health, she is cheerful, resourceful, and glad for Anne’s company. As their conversation turns to acquaintances, Mrs. Smith seems unusually hesitant when Mr. Elliot’s name arises. At first, she holds back, saying little. But upon realizing how closely Anne is now connected to Mr. Elliot, she finally decides it is her duty as a friend to speak. We will pick up at this point in their conversation.

An Accidental Sabbatical

Dear Snoozecast listener—hi, it’s Vee. I wanted to speak directly to you, because many of you have reached out over the past few weeks—some checking in, some offering kind words, and some understandably worried that something was wrong. First, I want to say: we’re okay. And second: we’re so sorry that we haven’t communicated anything sooner. When N and I slipped into this pause a little over a month ago, it wasn’t planned. Life simply caught up with us, and we thought we’d be able to jump right back in. Instead, we realized that—for the first time in nearly seven years of Snoozecast—we needed a real break to reset ourselves and catch up behind the scenes. Now that we’ve stepped back, it’s clear that the best thing for the show, and for us, is to continue this pause through the end of December. We’ll be using this time to get organized so that when we return in January, we’ll be in a healthier rhythm to keep Snoozecast going strong. A Note for Our Premium Listeners We also want to briefly address our Snoozecast+ and Snoozecast+ Deluxe subscribers. First, thank you—for your support, your patience, and your understanding during this unexpected pause. Premium has never been about profit; it simply helps us cover the costs of providing an ad-free version of the show. During this break, we realized that having two different premium tiers has made production more complicated than it needs to be. So beginning in January, we’ll be moving to one unified premium option: Snoozecast+. Here’s the short version: All current Plus and Deluxe subscribers will automatically transition into the new Snoozecast+. Prices are not increasing—and Deluxe pricing will be coming down to match Snoozecast+. No action is required on your part for this transition. Previous Deluxe-only episodes will still be available, although we won’t be producing new monthly Deluxe episodes moving forward. And for any questions about billing—especially for annual Deluxe subscribers—we’ll send a detailed email once we finalize the technical steps with our premium subscription vendor, Supporting Cast. That email should arrive by early January. And finally: if you choose to cancel your Snoozecast+ subscription—we completely understand. We’ll always be here for you on our freely available public feed. We started Snoozecast in 2019 with a single microphone in our closet and no idea whether anyone would listen. Seven years and a thousand episodes later, we’re still here because of you—your messages, your stories, your kindness, and the trust you place in us every night. This pause is our chance to make sure the show can continue into the future without burning out behind the scenes. And we’re genuinely excited to return refreshed, steady, and ready to bring you more stories in the new year. Thank you—truly—for your patience, your support, and your understanding. We’ll talk again in January. Until then, we wish you rest, comfort, and warmth through the end of the year. —Vee and all of us at Snoozecast Learn more about your ad choices.

The Red House Mystery

Tonight, we’ll read from “The Red House Mystery” by A. A. Milne, published in 1922. This episode is dedicated to Kerry, who first recommended the author Milne to us. It was Milne’s only mystery novel, and yet it was immensely popular. It falls into the “locked room” whodunnit category. The setting is an English country house, where Mark Ablett has been entertaining a house party. The black sheep of his family arrives from Australia and a mystery ensues. There is a preface to this book by the author that reads “My dear Father, Like all really nice people, you have a weakness for detective stories, and feel that there are not enough of them. So, after all that you have done for me, the least that I can do for you is to write you one. Here it is: with more gratitude and affection than I can well put down here.” — read by 'V' — Sign up for Snoozecast+ to get expanded, ad-free access by going to snoozecast.com/plus!

A Case of Identity | Sherlock Holmes

Tonight, we'll read the full, Snoozecast-adapted version “A Case of Identity”, a story from “The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes”, written by Arthur Conan Doyle and first published in 1892. Snoozecast has aired this story in two sections previously. In general, the stories in Sherlock Holmes identify, and try to correct, social injustices. In this story, a wealthy woman’s fiancé disappears and she hires the detective to help find him. This tale stands out among the Holmes stories for the quiet, almost domestic nature of its mystery. Rather than a murder or theft, the puzzle at hand is one of manipulation and emotional deceit. Holmes must unravel a curious vanishing act that seems, at first glance, too mundane for criminal interest—but which conceals a twisted motive rooted in control and inheritance. Though not as famous as some of Holmes’s more sensational cases, this one is a compact study in character and motive, and a fine example of how Doyle could draw drama from even the most seemingly ordinary circumstances. — read by 'N' — Sign up for Snoozecast+ to get expanded, ad-free access by going to snoozecast.com/plus!

The Invisible Prince

Tonight, we’ll read a fairy tale called “The Invisible Prince,” found in “The Yellow Fairy Book” edited by Andrew Lang and published in 1894. This story is about The Prince of Air and how he overcame adversity and found his way to The Golden Isle. Andrew Lang was a Scottish poet, novelist, and literary critic best known for his influential "Fairy Books"—a twelve-volume series that gathered tales from a wide range of cultures. Each volume was named for a different color and included a mix of well-known stories and lesser-known folktales, translated and adapted with the help of his wife, Leonora.

Sherlock referred to himself as a "consulting detective" in the stories, and is known for his proficiency with observation, deduction, forensic science, and logical reasoning that borders on the fantastic. Written from the point of view of Holmes’ friend Dr. Watson, “The Sign of the Four” has a complicated plot involving Indian colonial service, a stolen treasure, and a secret pact among four convicts. — read by 'N' — Sign up for Snoozecast+ to get expanded, ad-free access by going to snoozecast.com/plus!
