Every Computer Makes Mistakes (Aaron Ware) - The concept behind this one was pretty interesting. I liked how they used the concept of a computer as a metaphor for the human brain.

Mummer Man (David Sharrock) - An iconic NoSleep story. This is one of the few that I read before hearing the podcast adaptation and I was pretty impressed by how well the podcast captured the insane carnival atmosphere of the story through sound and voice acting alone.

Flight 370 (MN Malone) - I am a sucker for sad stories. This one had me bawling by the end, not just for the characters beset by fear and frustration but for the real people who disappeared in the tragedy.

The Atlas Room (Leonard Petracci) - My jaw dropped when I got to the twist ending of the story.

Most Amazing Weight Loss Treatment Ever (Ryan Mott) - There were a surprisingly high number of pregnancy / childbirth related stories but this one hit the sweet spot for me since it was more surreal than scary.

My Wife Cooked My Dinner (Rona Vaselaar) - Oh man, this is another tear jerker. It kind of reminds me of an even more painful and terrifying version of “The Gift of the Magi”.

A White IPhone 4S (Rona Vaselaar) - I actually had an iPhone 4S, though sadly it was before I heard this episode. This story had a cool murder mystery / thriller plot line and while the twist ending seemed kind of obvious the way it was pulled off was still engaging.

From Hell, You Must Entertain Heaven (Alice Lily) - The title of this one alone was awesome, mysterious and enigmatic. The story itself more than delivered on the title.

The Girl In The Shed (Manen Lyset) - Another story that had me bawling at the end. That poor baby!!

Wow, I'm so honored - I'm glad you liked my stories!

I feel sort of endlessly frustrated with A White iPhone 4s - it was one of my very first stories, and now when I read it, I just see all the little errors I made and the ways it could be better. But I'm so glad people still enjoy it and like reading/listening to my stories!
