Let them scare and soothe you while you take a hot bath, finish that jigsaw puzzle, or do your skin care routine. Chase the days woes away with:

Scare You To Sleep

Curl up and relax as host Shelby Novak reads you a spooky bed time story. Join her in enjoying the soothing, although somewhat unnerving, sounds of all that goes bump in the night. Anything from true tales of the paranormal, to fictional stories, to Guided Nightmares (like a guided meditation, but instead of frollicking in a spring meadow, you’ll be running through a haunted mansion).

Grim Death and Bill the Electrocuted Criminal

In this quirky, supernatural investigative thriller from acclaimed artist Mike Mignola (Hellboy) and NYT bestselling author Thomas E. Sniegoski, Bentley Hawthorne lives a solitary and mysterious life in an old mansion with his wry, long-suffering butler Pym. Pym and Bentley’s childhood friend and spitfire journalist Gwendolyn Marks don’t understand why Bentley insists on a path of isolation, but that’s because they don’t know his secret: The gentle-seeming Bentley is actually a chosen servant of Death tasked with avenging victims who have been killed before their time. Bentley has worked alone until now. However, he’ll need their help when Death’s messenger, a raven named Roderick, charges Bentley with his strangest and most dangerous investigation yet.
