What is this book called?

[@jackdare]

@@alexandergeorge5908 There are like 100 stories he's written so far in the same universe but idk which book this story's in nor how many are in his Amazon books... Maybe there's a better starting place but I'd start with "The Outsiders: Book One" then "The Outsiders: Book Two" to get started? Those explain how some of the worlds are connected and are pretty good imo

Tried posting links to Verastahl's story database and visual map but KZbin said "NO!"

God, this story was absolutely beautiful. I cannot get over how Rachel, despite knowing that she didn’t have long to live, did everything she could to held Thomas and the other Rachel find each other. The fact that the first Rachel and Thomas had a relationship that transcended time and space, even the fact that they subconsciously knew each other’s names… I imagine that now, a piece of her resides within him, while he and this other Rachel live out the rest of their lives in peace(finally). This was a beautiful story, and you captured its tone, plot and characters perfectly.

[@ReaIJackhammer]

@@timverrecchia1654 ehhh, the character acted pretty dumb when he didn't go to the police. Sure it might be an experiment but damn, first few days of seeing that I'm going to the fbi. And she shows up and is just promising to come over if he waits another month? Nah, the worst that happens if it's an experiment is nothing

[@timverrecchia1654]

@@ReaIJackhammer well he explained his thought process clearly, he cared for the girl increased over time, he realizes she is there against her will, his mind attempts to rationalize this fact when faced with the felling of cognitive dissonance with attempts to numb the pain by making self-serving justifications he receives money and it's a easy job he should keep but his morals and beliefs prevail especially as the recording develops into a more sinister undertone he can no longer make excuses and begins to become worried And accept that infact she does need help, many humans do this, morally wrong jobs but since pay is good they attempt to justify. After seeing the message help he then made a plan to speak to another employee to get facts rather then making assumptions, after speaking to him he learns the power the corporation/ government that is running the job, he is told they are always watching and know everything and the other person says that they are willing to kill if he has not already killed both of them which only heightens his anxiety making him even less likely to act, only acting when he knows his plan will work/ has enough evidence but he will act as he can't live with himself if he doesn't, this isn't a movie and the protagonist is no hero, he has anxiety's so over thinks so obviously he thinks about police but since he doesn't know who he works for he is not sure if police are influenced/ under control by these people but still he knows he must act so decides he will go to police after getting the evidence and posting the evidence from his phone to social media, evidence which he hasn't got any yet so like you said going to the FBI would ultimately be pointless. They know he is about to crack and try help Melanie so they send the actor which is identical to the original girl, who wouldn't be fooled by this act and not to mention he has feelings for her so when he hears that they need to stay because she needs the income he is willing to help after all he was just about to help her by trying to leak the video why wouldn't he continue to help her it's his nature ?. when he goes to work the next day upon reading the new message in the painting telling him that the girl who he believed was Melanie was not his sense of security and justification for his job crumbles his cognitive dissonance floods back in and panic, the fact they sent the actor means they knew about the messages and the fact he wasn't pressing the buttons, upon this change of state he immediately goes and gets his phone to expose the situation as it's his nature to help especially as he has feelings for the girl, this was the first time he truly knew what was going on and that his job wasn't innocent at least for now as if you listen whole story this development is only 1% of the plot. I can keep explaining but in my opinion this is the only time in the story where his actions could be considered dumb but as I have explained it's human nature and psychology the fact he acted this way his just an average Joe after all

[@sicuw1773]

What a beautiful story, when I got into creepypastas I never expected to listen/read something so beautiful, I already had this feeling with a few of your videos, you just experienced a masterpiece that gave you some heavy emotions and maybe resonated a little too much, yet now you finished it, you feel empty Regardless, props to the author, loved this story! and to you dark somn, you're the best at what you do

[@Darksomnium]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@marcusbergman6116]

I started with some minor channel reading kinda bad and cliché short stories. Mostly just to drown out my tinnitus. Then I found a couple of really good ones like this channel, finding gems and turning them into high quality audio books. And my life is better for it

[@NutellaRLZ]

I always love this story. I don't know why, really. It's one of my favorites and I'm glad you did a rendition of it. As an aside, I could've sworn you already read this one before, but i might've either heard someone else read it or read it on my own

[@destroytheboxes]

Pretty positive he hasn’t done this one before.

[@loganlewis1790]

Im pretty sure solomon is in other stories, i thought the same thing

[@missyd5016]

I thought DS had also read it before. But, it was Mr Davis.

[@xshaq]

is there a book, and if so, can u tell me what it’s called? thanks

[@lyndellrobinson3611]

Outstanding work, DS! I really loved all of the twists and turns and the payoffs. Great story and voice acting by everyone involved, and amazing sound and musical score. You truly know how to create an ambiance. On another note: How sad is it that when the protagonist first started describing his job, I immediately thought of Brtiney and wondered if that's how some of the security who were "guarding" her during the conservatorship felt/rationalized their jobs?

[@Darksomnium]

Glad you enjoyed it!

I just wish I knew what the song of the ghost tree singing was, it is hauntingly beautiful, @ The Dark Somnium you are amazing with your music!!

[@ghostfumes]

i wish more creepypastas were like this, i absolutely love the time travel aspect. the recent one about mimicking was really interesting too. and of course my fav is the sounding of the fifth trumpet. are there any other stories like this instead of the common scary creepypasta? i wish there was another genre of creepypasta like this lol

[@antimaterijaYT]

Try "the story of my grandfather's missing arms". That one is a masterpiece

[@kumahuma7]

Coming back to this story a year later makes so much more sense after listening to the 1st story. God I love it.

Wow... Just... Wow. I'm so used to just hearing scary or impersonal stories about death or monsters or terrifying events and yet this story made me feel happy and sad again and again like it was toying with my emotions while listening and that even I AS the listener was agitated because of it. Thank you for voicing it and thank the author for making this beautiful story for my late nights.

[@youngbandit3795]

I just listened to this because of the story Dark released today, the prelude to this, and I cannot wait for the rest of the story!! Absolutely amazing! I love it!

[@joshuastrickland5264]

I feel like I've heard this one before, but every twist still hit me...Its great. also Love your voice and delivery. I appreciate how not all of your videos are -scary, spooky and under your floorboards- I really like your more...ethereal content (like all of the angel content) and situational horror (like this).

[@advena996]

Yeah these are my favorite too! Scary in the middle but sweet at the end!

[@cockroachbait]

I came into this half expecting another generic paranormal job with weird rules story, but boy, did this took me for a ride... you have wonderful taste when it comes to picking up stories, and your voice and music make great stories hit even harder. Thank you for your hard work as always, and for what you're putting out there. Never stop being awesome :)

[@kristofers1139]

I listened to this last night while trying to sleep. It didn't go well, too much emotions from listening. Very well written and very good narrating. Love it!

[@videoss341]

God damn son, you don't upload as frequently as other channels but GOD DAMN those stories are worth the wait. The narration, the story, the ambient sounds and music are top notch. I'm always excited when I see you upload, you're doing an amazing job!

[@cheeeesecaa8419]

This story has greatly impacted something within me. I am now completely unaware how I would continue my way of living, after this story. Overall, this story was a Rollercoaster of emotions. I have never felt utterly disturbed, sad, happy at the same time. Kudos to whoever made this story ! 👏

[@Darksomnium]

Oh wow I'm so glad you liked it!

[@RedTRM]

This story pulled my heartstrings, I can't put into words how much this story made my day and probably even my whole week, I honestly don't get emotional at stories, movies and things, but this one did. I was very invested in the characters and the story, I came looking for a scary story to listen to for a while and found a timeless golden masterpiece. The fantastic narration with the sad and bittersweet sounding music and the perfectstoryline just made for an excellent blend that has truly burrowed its way into my heart as a favorite

[@arvidvanoosten1416]

Wow. This is one of the best creepypasta's I've ever listened to and definitely the most beautiful one. Thank you for the amazing narration

I've said this before, but you are the only KZbinr I get excited to get notifications for, and you never miss with what you put out. Kudos to the author

[@Paigelikesfluffythings]

This story was incredible, it's made me feel so many emotions. I long for something I don't know, miss something I never had, and cry for something I've never lost. But you made it come to life. It wouldn't be nearly as good without you telling the story. I'm in awe. Bravo!

[@beetee6986]

I can't even remember the last time I just straight up started sobbing, but this did it for me. Good work to both the author and yourself and the others you work with on bringing the story to life like that.

[@dark_a_shark]

This story is like some of my favorites, just the soft yet serious feeling of the stories, the detail and mystery and the main character feeling lost yet knowing what to do. These stories are my favorites, like The Giver, or Requiem. Amazing ♥️

[@bread4108]

Rewatching this for the full ghost tree series, and it makes me remember how good this story is, but also so much more interesting having the basic connections to the first story in the series also... 2…43…26…89

[@thetwitchywitchy]

this was absolutely beautiful, so well written. I can’t praise this story enough, it’s honestly amazing stories of this caliber are just uploaded for free, like this is worthy of a physical print run.

[@smoothoxygen4871]

There's something so amazing about this story, it's beautiful, and feels so amazing to listen to. There need to be more stories that have this feeling.

[@RagnarokMaster]

My goodness! I was looking forward to being scared...or at least feeling some cosmic dread. This was so good and wholesome at the end. I can honestly see this being some kind of full length sci-fi movie. You told this story so brilliantly. You and your colleagues brought these characters to life. Thank you so much! I look forward to your next reading!

This was genuinely phenomenal. The story itself, the reading, the music selection. Amazing. I love how the supernatural was weaved in, and how it directly correlated with the story transitioning into a dreamlike experience. I'm not one for emotional or romantic fiction, but this story managed to really immerse me and pull at my heart strings. Stories like this are the kinds of stories that should be getting turned into high budget films.

I have never once listened to a story like this one, it was tragic, sad, happy, but most importantly beautiful. So very well crafted and left me at shock when it came to an end desperately wanting more. To the author this was amazing, the part when he first mentions the birds in the painting with them almost being words sent a cold shiver down my spine more so then any other story iv ever heard. And to the Narrators what a beautiful job voicing it the way you people did. Absolutely Bravo.

This story left me beyond speechless. It was so haunting yet beautiful in so many aspects. The tension about the big mystery. The slight shivers of hope and light and the twists all around, paired with this touching sad, yet hopeful music is really a piece of art. You, dear sir, earned so much more than a sub. You earned a fan and a human being that got touched by this story. Thank you SO much for this!
