The Man in Black: The Complete Series 1-4

Twenty Creepy Full-Cast Dramas

By: Various

Narrated by: Full Cast, Mark Gatiss

Mark Gatiss stars as sinister raconteur The Man in Black, in these twenty terrifying full-cast radio dramas

The Man in Black is waiting to make your acquaintance. Maybe you’ll meet him on a bus, in the supermarket, or at an airport luggage carousel. Perhaps he’ll peer into your baby’s pram, or approach you in the corridor of a care home. Wherever you encounter him, he's eager to pass on his stories. Stories of darkness and death, myth and madness. Stories to unsettle and horrify.

Two lads on a council estate stumble onto a world where time has stopped. Something evil stalks stranded soldiers in Afghanistan. A retired accountant gets out of his depth on the Net. An ex-alcoholic is on the run from more than just his AA buddy. These tales, and many more, will haunt you long after the Man in Black has departed...

nice theatrical listen...

This audiobook was a fantastic listen! The actors were quite good, authentic sounding and interesting. If you are a fan of apocalyptic end times and vampires (who isn't) then this is a story for you!

Just wow!!!

Incredible stories and performances. Highly recommended. I wish there were more episodes. If you live thrillers and horror stories, you should listen to this.

I relisten every year

These are my favorite. A random find a decade ago. I relisten every year. Gatiss is spectacular. I wish they’d make more!!!

<Shudder>

I've loved creepy stories since I wasa kid. Not gory, bloody messes, but the ones that give you a serious psychological chill. M.R. James and Robert Aickman are among my favorites. so I have been chilled by the masters.

I was therefore amazed when I felt a tingle at the base of my neck, not once or twice but throughout these radio plays. A radio play really engages with one's imagination, and as we all know, we can create far worse terrors than actually exist.

So if you're looking for a real scare without gore, you've come to the right place.

Classic Horror

Loved this production. Only wish there had been more episodes. Still, 4 seasons will have to do. Hopefully there will be more. I enjoyed every moment of these episodes.
