English magicians were once the wonder of the known world, with fairy servants at their beck and call; they could command winds, mountains, and woods. But by the early 1800s they have long since lost the ability to perform magic. They can only write long, dull papers about it, while fairy servants are nothing but a fading memory.

The modern audience hasn't had a chance to truly appreciate the unknowing dread that readers would have felt when reading Bram Stoker's original 1897 manuscript. Most modern productions employ campiness or sound effects to try to bring back that gothic tension, but we've tried something different. By returning to Stoker's original storytelling structure - a series of letters and journal entries voiced by Jonathan Harker, Dr. Van Helsing, and other characters - with an all-star cast of narrators, we've sought to recapture its originally intended horror and power.

As such, I personally got the most out of the discussion on Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein", since that it the relevant work I have the most prior experience with. Of course, Stephen King's body of work gets special attention, since he has been so prolific in his career and he remains so well known because so many of his novels have been adapted into film. Other works of horror books mentioned in this podcast include:
"Baby Teeth" by Zoje Stage,
"Frankisstein" by Jeanette Winterson,
R.L. Stine's Goosebumps collection, and
"Interview with a Vampire" by Anne Rice.
I thought this was a nice ~45 minute podcast listen. It was particularly engaging because one of the contributing editors was obviously a horror superfan, and her enthusiasm was adorable to listen to. I recommend to those who are fans of the horror genre, looking for their next spooky/creepy listen, or just those in the mood for a little Halloween spirit.
Just in time for Halloween!
