Ghosts, killers, and things that knock on the door after dark, played by the actors and sound-effects crews of radio's golden age for audiences who had nothing to look at but the dial.
Old radio horror for Halloween, from the years when the monsters came out of a wooden cabinet in the living room and every listener had to picture them on their own.
It's still Halloween night in Grove City, Ohio, when Shawn Dyer wakes up on the damp grass of Marsh Cemetery, across Home Road from Gantz Park, and watches a jack-o'-lantern burst into flame a few yards away, then a second one beside it. In their orange glow stand two furry creatures with pointed ears and beady eyes, unfolding leathery wings, and from somewhere in the dark, the voice that spoke Shawn's name in the creek tells him it never expected to see him again.
The Headless Horseman rides through Sleepy Hollow, a phantom ship sails out of a storm, and Bess Houdini holds a séance every Halloween hoping to hear from her husband, in thirteen ghost stories told for kids.
No one would have believed, in the last years of the nineteenth century, that intelligent life beyond Earth was watching us. Studying us. Envying us. When massive cylinders fell from the sky and buried themselves in the English countryside, curious crowds gathered to witness what they thought was a meteorite. But when those cylinders unscrewed from within, what emerged would shatter humanity's place at the top of the evolutionary ladder. Towering tripods. Heat rays that incinerated everything in their path. And an enemy more advanced, more ruthless, and more alien than anyone could have imagined. H.G. Wells' "The War of the Worlds" – the story that invented the alien invasion. This is the complete, unabridged audiobook that asks one terrifying question: What happens when humanity becomes the hunted?
