About this listen

From the moment Riley moves into the house by the river, she can feel it—something is wrong. The birds perch outside her window, black-feathered and unblinking. Every night, they whisper things in hushed human like voices.

Her mother offers no answers. The town feels off-kilter. Whispers follow her through the halls at school. Only Anna seems to understand, and even she is keeping secrets.

As sleep evades her and the nights stretch on, Riley finds herself caught in something she cannot name. The birds are always watching. And they are not alone.

The Birds Never Sleep is a chilling and atmospheric tale of hidden forces, strange omens, and a girl caught in a place where something dark is waiting to be heard.
