 1979 Music for Pleasure. Scared the willies out of my sensitive German wife. I would write out the blurb but I suspect you wouldn't be here if you didn't know all the stories which are on that front cover. Its a goodish reading if at times a bit rushed |

Somewhere amongst the crap I've got Christopher Lee reads Dracula - on cassette. I remember listening to that in the pitch black one night and absolutely shitting myself. The man's a legend, but CANNOT be forgiven for Funny Man  |

Ooo, I'd love to get my hands on either of those if I could find them. His voice is just perfect for these kinds of stories.  I have an audio cassette of him reading James Herbert's The Fog, which is excellent. Does anyone remember a few years ago, when - instead of the usual dramatisations of MR James' Ghost Stories for Christmas - they did a thing where Lee read the stories instead? It was done in a setting to mirror how James himself would have probably read to his students at university. Most enjoyable. Can't remember what year it was but it must be at least 7 or 8 years ago I'd say. |

was lee as mr james really that far back, caroline? i thought it was only a couple of years back - god how the xmases go. that was a wonderful programme, and very well filmed, too. not too much farting about, so you became focused on the man.
MES reading Lovecraft?! that one passed me by! i had that odd 'solo' album MES did a few years back, which was partly him reading, partly him talking into a dictaphone, and partly him talking while some other Mancs talked over him. very odd, disorienting, and scary in quite its own way...

You got me curious about this (my sense of time is as bad as my sense of direction nowadays!) so I checked on IMDB - it was Christmas 2000: www.imdb.com/title/tt0270769/ |
