047 – A Sleepy Bedtime Reading – In Search of the Unknown

Tonight’s story to help you sleep is from a work by Robert William Chambers. A fascinating bedtime story, but slumber will still come.   A zookeeper hears of the discovery of a creature long thought extinct, a great bird. But his journey leads him to something even stranger in the wilds of the Atlantic coast.     As I work in the hospitality industry the next few weeks are going to be very busy for me. I won’t be able to do much researching and writing, but I won’t leave you restless. I will have a selection of cold readings for your insomnia cures every week, right on schedule.     Story 16:35     Find ‘In Search of the Unknown’ on Project Gutenberg https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/18668       Listener Survey     The last few weeks has seen a huge growth in the audience, and the last few weeks have seen Sleepy Time Tales use a different than normal format, so I’d like to hear from listeners new and older about the sort of stories they like. Do people prefer original stories like ‘Buddy’ ‘Southcliffe’ and ‘Mutewallow?’ or do people like classic readings, or a mix.   Please hit up survey.sleepytimetales.net to respond. The survey is 3 questions and should take under a minute.     Support this podcast Patreon     The show continues to operate thanks to the generosity of the supporters on Patreon.
