In this soft-spoken ASMR recording, I begin with a brief introduction, then read Jack London’s classic short story To Build a Fire.

Set in the bitter cold of the Yukon wilderness, the story follows a man traveling alone through subzero temperatures—confident in his own instincts, but slowly beginning to understand the unforgiving force of nature.

Read in a quiet, calming voice with gentle pacing, this recording is ideal for winding down, resting, or simply enjoying a timeless piece of American literature in a peaceful setting.
