Description:

Blackstone Audio presents an eclectic mix of stories, plays and sketches dedicated to the thinking paranoiac. Gore, sex, horror, literature and edifying morals--what more could you want from an audiobook?

This collection includes "In a Grove," upon which Akira Kurosawa based his classic film, Rashomon; an adult fairy tale by the author of Winnie-the-Pooh; the real story (honest!) behind Edgar Rice Burroughs's novel The Moon Maid; and cautionary and scary tales from Arabian Nights, Dostoevsky, Kafka, Mark Twain, and others.

Brief description:

Tom Towles met Yuri Rasovsky in grammar school fifty years ago! After working with Paul Sills in the ground-breaking Story Theater, he became a cult favorite in horror movies such as Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer, Night of the Living Dead, and House of 1000 Corpses. Recently he portrayed a vicious gang leader in the big screen adaptation of Miami Vice.

Review Quotes:

"Expect everything but a typical delivery from the Hollywood Theater of the Ear's cast...There are fourteen stories in the collection, each brought to shrieking, howling, door-banging life...Each member of the Hollywood Theater brings something to this collection of adult tales."
