I often worry about my listeners staying up too late with my regular episodes—some of those stories are a little too intense for drifting off to sleep. So I created DreamReads—a quieter space, where the stories are a little gentler, the tone more peaceful, and the world’s worries fade into the background.
These are stories to lull you into sleep—not just to entertain, but to ease your mind. They’re drawn from some of my favourite books by some of my favourite authors, told softly and slowly to help you unwind.
In tonight’s episode, I’m introducing you to Dracula—the original gothic classic by Bram Stoker, first published in 1897.
Far from the city, in the shadowy corners of Transylvania, lies a castle—vast, ancient, and filled with secrets. When Jonathan Harker, an English solicitor, arrives to assist the enigmatic Count Dracula with legal matters, he finds himself drawn into a world of soft whispers, locked doors, and strange disappearances. There is charm in the Count’s manner… but something deeper and darker beneath it.
So now, wherever you are—take a deep breath… let your body relax… close your eyes… and allow this timeless tale to carry you gently into the night.
Sweet dreams.
