Bedtime Stories for Adults: Vikings & Nordic Tales (Nature Sounds Edition)

Not Your Average Bedtime Story, Book 2

De: Tranquil Voyage Audiobooks

Narrado por: Charles Featherstone

Let the raw forces of nature guide you home to rest. Real field recordings from remote forests bring primal life to every sound.

This isn’t just a bedtime stories audiobook—it’s a sensory immersion into Norse myth, ancient lands, and untamed wilds.

Drift into the world of Viking legends wrapped in the natural rhythms of the earth—from the gentle rustle of pines and distant thunder, to the primal hum of sacred flame and midnight wind. These aren’t polished studio effects. They’re unfiltered nature sounds—captured to calm the body and captivate the spirit.

Each story unfolds like a timeless ritual, guiding you out of overthinking and into a world where myth meets earth, and rest comes not through silence—but through elemental presence.

This edition is for those who feel most grounded in the wilderness.
For those whose nervous systems don’t respond to clinical calm, but to wild serenity.

Inside, you'll find:

• Atmospheric Nordic tales drawn from ancient myths—retold with hypnotic pacing and reverence for the sacred
• Field-recorded natural audio—wind through pine forests, embers crackling in fire rings, waves kissing distant shores
• A sleep rhythm rooted in the primal—crafted to soothe your system not with stillness, but with sound that feels alive
• An alternative to synthetic calm—for those who crave something real, ancient, and deeply felt

These aren’t just stories. They’re thresholds—to slower states, deeper rest, and quiet wonder.

If you long for rest that reconnects you with something ancient and real...

If you’re drawn to tales told beside the fire, under the stars, with the wild night humming all around you...

You’re in the right place.

Close your eyes. Let the stories rise like mist.

And fall asleep to the sound of the world before it was tamed.

Too Much Background

Bedtime Stories for Adults: Vikings & Nordic Tales” offers a interesting dive into the rich tapestry of Norse mythology and Viking lore. The stories themselves are thoughtfully written, atmospheric, and full of the quiet strength and mysticism you’d hope for in a Nordic collection. They strike a good balance between intrigue and calm which is ideal for winding down at night.

The experience is somewhat diminished by the overpowering background sounds. While ambient noise can often enhance the mood, in this case, it frequently overshadows the narration. The sound effects, though thematically appropriate, tend to be too loud or dramatic for a bedtime setting, making it harder to fully relax or fall asleep.

Awesome nordic mythology listen

Super unique audiobook that has the sights and sounds of nordic mythology (the best) and includes a bunch of what I would call soothing sounds for your average guy! Really cool idea here and I'd love to see more of this type of product going against the grain. Fantastic work by the narrator and tranquil voyage.

A Beautiful Escape Into Myth and Nature

This audiobook is unlike anything I’ve listened to before. The blend of Norse storytelling and real nature sounds is incredibly immersive. The tales are told in a calm, rhythmic voice that gently draws you into ancient worlds. The natural ambiance wind, crackling fire, distant thunder feels so authentic, it’s like falling asleep in the forest.

Very relaxing

The stories are meditative and rich with attention, and pace invites deep, peaceful comfort. This is not just sound it's a sensory ritual that makes something look forward to the gold.

Intriguing and relaxing

This wasn’t my usual listen, but it was intriguing and, oddly enough, relaxing! The most relaxing part was the incorporation of natural sounds throughout. It was encompassing, like a heavy blanket, as I closed my eyes and listened to this. It’s a long book, so you can enjoy many nights of stories! Although a bit spooky at times, it brought my brain into a world of wonder. I had never heard of any of these folklores, as this isn’t something we do in America, so to get a taste of other countries was fun.

Exactly What I Needed

I rolled infinitely at night that he tried to rest now I'm really looking forward to sleeping. If you want something more intimate and wild than synthetic sleep tracks, it's definitely worth it.

A wonderful audibook to take you into the story

I was a bit hesistant about buying a bedtime book for adults but this audiobook exceeded my expectations. It had great stories that kept me guessing right till the end mixed with great narration and sounds as well. I felt like I was really in the atmosphere of the book and it made it even more real. Maybe I will be buying more bedtime stories for adults!! I would definitely recommend

A Deep Breath of Myth and Earth

This audiobook is an absolute gift. It’s more than bedtime stories—it’s an immersive return to something raw and ancient. The blend of Norse myths with real forest sounds and sacred rhythms transported me to another realm. It’s grounding, calming, and deeply restorative—like being wrapped in wild serenity. The natural audio feels alive, not artificial, and each tale unfolds like a sacred ritual. For those who crave deep rest and reconnection, this audio surely delivers. I highly recommend it.

Calming

This audiobook is the opposite that I have heard before. Sleeping stories for adults: Vikings and Nordic stories calm the natural sounds that lure the mythological history. Field recording cracking fire, whispering wind, removing thunder creates a grounding environment that helps me to disconnect my mind and flow into a deep sleep.

Excellent book

Every night it looks like sleeping next to the old forest fire. It is highly recommended for any person who is more suction more than sound at the time of typical sleep.
