PhillyPringlesTasteOkGood content, bad timingHonestly 3 stars for the ad placement. Content is top notch, but ads in the middle of stories break the mood.

WhorrorgirlCan’t listen to anyone else!One night about a year ago, I put on a random scary story to fall asleep as background noise, not expecting to be invested whatsoever. I ended up not getting a wink of sleep. Ever since, I listen to your show every night and eagerly await new uploads! Your audio quality is unmatched compared to anyone else doing what you do. I would recommend this to anyone who loves some gripping fictional horror! Also please upload more creature/forest/ocean stories!!!

oreogirl5They paid me 5000 to go through something terrifying.This was a very intense show! I can’t stop thinking about it. Is this life we are living real ? What a trip! Great writing. Thank you!

redwolfhopwI have a strange jobGolden ticket? Like willie Winka? How would one know that it had ANY value at all? Oompa Loompa, do-ba-dee-doo…..

IfItWasntBrokenWhyFixItWould be 5 stars but started talking about pro choiceI hardly think creepy pasta is the place to talk about pro-choice messages and the woman’s right to choose. Not all of us believe in that, and it’s just sad and unfortunate. That political issues had to be brought to a podcast that’s for listening to scary stories

(Walter55)IdiotsOnly an idiot would state that cats can’t show their owners love, like only a dog can! It’s obvious you know nothing about cats, and you’ve shown your ignorance!

princesscamm32110Love this!!Tales are so dark you want to stay up and listen but the narrators voice is so pleasant it’s nice to fall asleep too.
-
HhsfjsbmtscvMy absolute favorite narratorI’ve been listening to him for a long while on YouTube. His work is always so phenomenal. I can’t find a narrator that compares!
-
-/ellehelle\-Bedtime storiesMy absolute favorite to listen to as I go to sleep. The narrators voice is so nice. Really ups the creep factor of the stories when they’re being read to you in such a relaxing tone and cadence. Really viscerally upsetting stories too. I just love it
-
KaiserYummyAmazingWhat appears to be the primary (male) voice and the secondary (female) voice are both soothing and quite expressive. The way they narrate, switch between character’s POV, or interact with each other/other characters is entertaining. Most stories are detailed with nice audio cues or ambience that makes the atmosphere come to life wonderfully. The addition of extra voices in stories where there are multiple characters interacting also adds more “authenticity” and immersion to the stories being told. With the overall production quality, the intricate stories and their mysteries come to life in vivid and enjoyable listening sessions.

edogg 1994Need moreI need more I’ve literally listened to every single one is there another channel with the same narrator I can’t stand anyone else but this guy!
-
voodoo808Simply the bestCan’t say more than the stories here are awesome

hooyadiverLove itKeep it up man! We support you!

GarSlayer87SelloutWhat else can I say .. dark somnium was one of the best before he got adds and then went and added adds into all his old episodes! Come on man obviously just in it for the money reading other people’s stories what else should I expected was a loyal fan for years and years: couldn’t care less if you get paid I’m selfish I don’t need adds when I’m trying to fall asleep….

AndersachsLove the stories, but not the audio jumps…The audio “jumps” (where the story acts like I’ve rewound or fast forwarded) are extremely frustrating, especially when I lose parts of the story because of it. I’ve discovered that if I don’t use the ff/rewind option it’s a lot better, but even with no “interruption”, it still jumps sometimes. Lost about 3-5min of the end of an episode that was heading for a mic drop final line… that sucked. (The story suddenly jumped back about 3-5 minutes and restated words I had already heard, and then the timeline of the podcast ended right in the middle of a word. But!! The stories are awesome, and Dark Somnium’s reading is fantastic. Worth listening to even with the audio glitches.

LilrhirhidHard to choose a favoriteBut, I’ve listened to ‘Penpal’ 2 times now and I’m ready for a 3rd round. The narration is *chef’skiss*. The story itself, brilliant! It begins by making your skin crawl, then you find yourself getting seriously creeped out. All of a sudden, you start holding your breath in anticipation of what could possibly happen next. When you finally let that breath out, you’re just minutes away from an ending that’s so terrifying, yet heartbreaking at the same time. And then you go back for more!

DavidkunnnPanpalThe penpal episode do yourself a favor and listen.

DIE UGLY APPGoodI like

Mr Alex!One of the bestThis guy is absolutely amazing. He’s reading and voice are a great fit for the podcast. I enjoy listening to everything he and his team puts out. I listen to a lot of creepy pastas, but I must say that this is one of the best.
-
KayossGTAbsolutely stunning🤩As most are aware, they don’t write these episodes, they’re written by various people across Reddit, usually from r/nosleep. So of course, I want to applaud those writers for their genius. With that being said, this podcast does an amazing job with narration, voice acting, environmental sounds, background music, and more. The creator of this podcast is responsible for all of the music, which he creates himself. This is mind blowing, as these tracks are amazing and really help tell the stories and atmosphere. I’ve listened to plenty of similar podcasts, like the SCP Archives, Nightvale, Within the Wire, and more. Without throwing shade, none of those even pale in comparison to this. This podcast isn’t even scary or horror. It’s just really good stories that have creepy elements, which is good in my opinion. I don’t like podcasts that just try to be scary. I often find them boring. This podcast is different. The stories are engaging, the music and environmental noise helps create this atmosphere of feeling like you’re really there. Not scared, just completely encaptured by the story and feel as though you are the person the story is describing. I will always recommend this podcast.

dun din dunThe 🐐 of creepy pastasI only use this app for listening to comedy podcasts, but The Dark Somnium is the only exception. I’d argue even if you weren’t that in to creepy pastas, you’d still love DS because of the audio environment he creates with his voice, music, and sound effects that are all perfectly balanced together to give less of a narration, but more of an experience. He’s really that good.
-
William7193KillerI found this from their single single episode on Spotify, which in itself is the best I’ve found. Love the sound effects and voice modulation for the creepy voices and whatnot
-
Nm1135#keepit300Dark Somnium is the only reason I have the podcast app. I check every morning hoping there is a new story!

You make great contentLoganFour words needed Very good my friend

rebeccawolford432My favorite podcastI ran into this podcast while browsing for a new Creepypasta/scary story podcast and fell in love with it! The narrations are amazing and there’s so much effort put into the sound effects and background ambiance and it makes it super easy to get into the story. I wait excitedly for each new upload.

anonymouslysadanddisappointedSO GOOD!I am new to this one and I was a bit hesitant Seeing a review about annoying ad placement, but I’m so glad I took the time to try this one out. I to hate the loud and disruptive ads, but I have not heard one single ad in any of the several stories I have listen to so far! I am taking this to mean nothing not only is this podcast maker giving us fantastic high quality stories with zero ads, but they must have read the feedback they got and actually gave enough of a crap about their listeners to adjust their episodes!!!! I’m so impressed by this show so far, I’m so glad I gave it a chance!
-
Father-bearPure Excellence!I listen to several Horror/creepy podcasts and this one is number one in terms of story selection, narration, and sounds. You won’t find any poorly written cheesy stories here. I recommend this to any fan of the genre. You will not be disappointed.
-
Joey FriestadAd placementHear me out, this podcast “The Dark Somnium” is really good. I listen to this all the time. But the ADS. The ads are terrible. I can barely listen to this with getting slapped in the face by an ad the moment I click on an episode.
-
ZsenineToo much animal deathI love horror when it’s directed towards people. This podfic has much more than average the number of stories with animal deaths and, since I refuse to listen to that, I end up having to skip a lot of them.
-
GraciKitty29huge fan!!i’m a huge fan of this podcast! it’s my absolute favorite, and these stories are absolutely addicting, both in content, and in presentation. the use of sounds, effects, and ambient music are so well done, and i constantly find myself back here, digging for stories i haven’t heard yet, or relistening to old favorites while i wait for new episodes. i would highly recommend this to any fan of the creepypasta genre, and associated nosleep subreddit!
-
MbotgthousndGood but…The repetitive cadence grates a little after a while. It’s like reading a very urgent grocery list on some of the stories.
-
PDN07I take melatonin nowI love these stories and used to listen at night but recently they’ve really got to me and are super scary, these stories are sure to keep you up at night! Give you that rush of horror and paranoia, great podcast 5 stars all the way!!!
-
Frank529Great work!I love this podcast. It’s a nice escape that takes my mind on incredible adventures while I’m at work. Thank you for what you do. And great job to everyone who narrates along side of you.
-
sass_sa_frassAd placement is terribleThis is an otherwise dependably good podcast, but the way the ad is placed like 5 sec after the story begins is areal turn off.
-
vubudufyeuh5 seconds in and an Ad….Wouldn’t be that bad if the story wasn’t trying to create a feeling of urgency right off the bat. If this is outta your hands, show this to whomever, I’m just gonna read your stuff on Reddit instead and not bother following the podcast.
-
LitLateLimewhere are the March stories?!I really hope you didn’t give up on this podcast! I love your narrations, please post soon!!
