All October, we released extra episodes wherein we narrated some of our favourite Weird stories, and now that it’s November, we thought we’d set aside some time to discuss those stories in greater detail.

All October long, we've been narrating some of our favourite Weird stories, and sharing them with you each Tuesday! For our final entry in this series, Wyatt reads Harlan Ellison's The Function of Dream Sleep. If, as we've said in an earlier episode, Kiyoshi Kurosawa's Pulse is a perfect depiction of depression, then this story is a similarly perfect depiction of grief. Enjoy!

Narrated by Wyatt Keusch, with music by David Paha.
