"Turn down the lights, sink back in your chair and don't look into the shadows. In the shadows there may be moving things. Tonight, it may be, you will sleep no more."

SLEEP NO MORE was a different series than what you's expect from a show of this era in that it featured readings instead of full-cast dramatizations. Nelson Omstead did dramatic readings, complete with background music and sound effects for this NBC series of thrillers. Ben Grower served as host.

Each half-hour show consisted of one, two or three readings. Only enjoying a short run, this series provides an interesting look at one of radio's alternatives to full-cast dramatic entertainment.
