The macabre world of monsters, killers on the loose and revenge from beyond the grave existed not only in the movies, but also on the radio before television''s dominance in American homes. One of many distinct genres born of early broadcasting, terror-inspiring radio thrilled millions. Nearly 80 such programs, many of enduring sophistication, aired every week in the late 1940s.
This first full-length study of golden age horror radio focuses on six representative programs, starting with The Witch''s Tale in 1931 and ending with The Mysterious Traveler in 1952. Each chapter is a critically and historically informed study of one series. The book ends with a look at the demise of horror radio and its enduring influence. Photographs are included.
