Greetings and salivations, Sleepless. It is I, Olivia White, host of The NoSleep Podcast, back with another dose of terrifying, nail-biting horror.  On this week's episode we have six skin-crawling tales about bigamist Bigfoots, twerking Thunderbirds, cuckolded Chupacabras and meme-loving Mongolian Death Worms. In our first tale, entitled What I Saw On Top Of My Mom's Wardrobe Will Haunt Me To This Day, author Chainsaw Dave takes us on a journey of...

The answer to that is more complex, but in short: Gabrielle Loux.

For those who don't know, Gabrielle is The NoSleep Podcast's extremely talented story editor who, along with some story curator I've never heard of, works tirelessly to select the best of the best of horror fiction to be produced on the show. Gabrielle is one of our less public-facing team members, but she has one of the most important jobs on the show, and so what better to give you an insight into her fantastic work than... A NOSLEEP BLOGCAST INTERVIEW?

So read on, kiddies, as transcribed from an exclusive found footage recording, we have a glimpse into the mind of... GABRIELLE LOUX, STORY EDITOR EXTRAORDINAIRE.
