About this listen
Twenty tales of terror and suspense, brought to you by sinister storyteller Vincent Price.
Horror legend Vincent Price presents an anthology of eerie, unsettling tales with a devilish twist - some purportedly based on his own adventures, others narrated by him in his own inimitable style.
Listen to his horrifying accounts of an unnerving piscatorial experience down under, a violinist with very special hands, a Bonfire Night party when a bullying father disappeared and a secretary's murderous revenge. Here, too, are the spine-chilling stories of a beloved cat with an unusual inheritance, a scientist whose experiments on his own son lead to unforeseen danger and a phoney clairvoyant and her client, who seeks a preview of eternity....
Among the star casts are Garard Green, Peter Cushing, Bill Kerr, Coral Browne, Christopher Bidmead, Adrienne Corri, Betty Huntley-Wright, Freddie Jones, Edward Woodward, Annette Crosbie, Maurice Denham and Hywel Bennett.

Presented by and starring Vincent Price.

When the history of horror comics was written, one name stood and still stands above the rest: EC Comics. With equal parts suspense, gore, camp, and revenge, the triumvirate of EC’s horror output laid the groundwork for what was to come from many of the genre’s greatest writers and directors. Now, AudioComics (a division of Pocket Universe Productions) presents EC’s The Vault of Horror, its stories adapted and presented in an audiorich fully immersive setting complete with a full cast, scoring, and soundscapes.

More than a century ago, M. R. James was the provost of King's College, Cambridge. He would gather together a select group of students in his rooms every Christmas Eve, and give a candlelit performance of one of his superbly unsettling ghost stories. Christopher Lee recreates the spine-chilling atmosphere of those evenings, as he dons James' mantle to read these four fearful tales.

Horror stars, action heroes, matinee idols, leading ladies - Suspense offered them all a showcase that expanded and emphasized their distinctive talents. Peter Lorre and Edward G. Robinson were particular favorites and appear here in tortured, desperate roles and never failing to wring every bit of tension from the scripts in their hands. Popular comedians - like Bob Hope and Milton Berle - were also regularly featured. Cast hard against type, the audience was forced to view them in an entirely different light and were left gasping in their wake.

After the killing of a prominent mob lawyer, NYPD homicide detectives Jacob Jackson and Caitlin Grimes start receive chilling, written “rules” for how to commit the perfect murder.

Close your eyes and see the future. Radio often explored the issues of the day by imagining the days to come - and never did it better than in the stories you'll hear in this collection! From 2000 Plus to Dimension X, this is Great Radio Science Fiction!

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 177
Mark Gatiss ( Sherlock, Doctor Who, Game of Thrones) reads chilling tales by the unsung master of the classic ghost story: E. F. Benson. There's nothing sinister about a London bus. Nothing supernatural could occur on a busy train platform. There's nothing terrifying about a little caterpillar. And a telephone, what could be scary about that? Don't be frightened of the dark corners of your room. Don't be alarmed by a sudden inexplicable chill.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 29
Horror stars, action heroes, matinee idols, leading ladies - Suspense offered them all a showcase that expanded and emphasized their distinctive talents. Peter Lorre and Edward G. Robinson were particular favorites and appear here in tortured, desperate roles and never failing to wring every bit of tension from the scripts in their hands. Popular comedians - like Bob Hope and Milton Berle - were also regularly featured. Cast hard against type, the audience was forced to view them in an entirely different light and were left gasping in their wake.

Wonderful collection of Classic Gothic Horror
This is a wonderful collection of classic radio series The Price of Fear hosted by and featuring in several episodes the great Vincent Price. Supported by a wonderful cast including Peter Cushing and Edward Woodward among others, each tale is gothic horror and is wonderfully fearful. These episodes still hold up despite not being gory, though several tales are shocking for that era. The cast is superb and I love how Mr. Price is woven into many of the stories. A treat to listen to.

An incredible collection
This is a must- listen for any fan of Vincent Price. His silky smooth voice and gentlemanly demeanor makes this collection of stories so compelling that I did not want them to end. Toss in Peter Cushing, Edward Woodward and other guest narrators and you have a winning collection. Not all stories are equally good, and there are one or two duds, but taken as a whole it would be hard to find a better series of stories.

Narrated by a master of suspense
A collection of stories amplified by the voice of the master of suspense. Although some of them miss the mark, most stories included are well written and obviously very well read. This is definitely an audiobook worth your time if you like these types of stories.

pure cozy spooky bliss
love the fantastically silly framing device, where Vincent Price has to pretend these are all things that really happened to him as he's just roaming the Earth being a fancy spooky guy.
