Hmm. I hadn't thought about any special Halloween-themed listening. Might be an excuse to get to some of the freebie classics I've accumulated over the years: The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, Frankenstein, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, various Poe collections. Carmilla and The Lodger might be possibilities too.
I've listened to Dracula, Psycho, Rosemary's Baby, and The Haunting of Hill House fairly recently, so I'm not ready to revisit those. |

I started listening to Halloween-themed audiobooks in October a couple of years ago. First year was Dracula, and the next Frankenstein. This year so far I've done:
That'll probably take me to the end of October. If not I have a few other titles I could add to my list. |

I just finished The Lodger, by Marie Belloc Lowndes, which wasn't Halloween-scary but very suspenseful and enjoyable. What surprised me was how modern it seemed, even though it was published in 1913. The story was based on the Jack the Ripper murders; here, as women are being killed by someone who calls himself the Avenger, an eccentric lodger rents a room from a financially strapped couple. Most of the story is told from the point of view of the wife.
Hitchcock made a silent movie of this story early in his career. I may have to dig out my DVD and watch it again, as I think it was much changed; I remember only a couple of scenes from the film. There were later movies as well. The narrator, Lorna Raver, was excellent. |
