Oxygen's latest series is anything but sweet dreams.

Sleeping With Death tells the stories of people who wake up to discover a friend or family member was murdered during the night without their knowledge, and E! News has your exclusive first look at the terrifying true tales to come.

"Those left alive grieve and struggle to come to terms with being unaware that acts of brutality took place under the same roof," states the series' description. "In addition, they must also confront the fact that they may be named as possible suspects."

The eight-episode series kicks off with the premiere titled "Left for Dead," which follows the murder of Johnia Berry in Knoxville, Tennessee. After she was fatally stabbed 22 times in her home, her roommate barely escaped with his own life after being stabbed as well.

"As law enforcement begins to investigate," the episode's description reads, "they can't fathom how this young man evaded Johnia's fate, and wonder if he may be involved."

Other stories this season include a businesswoman who was murdered with her boyfriend asleep next to her, a teenager who found her father stabbed in his bedroom across the hall and a woman whose husband was shot while she was asleep nearby.

As one victim puts it in the teaser, "Home is supposed to be your safe place, but that's where my biggest nightmare happened."

Check out the chilling trailer above. The show is produced by Texas Crew Productions, with David Karabinas, Russ Heldt and Brad Bernstein as executive producers.

Sleeping With Death premieres Sunday, Nov. 6, at 7 p.m. on Oxygen.
