The Gothic Library Radio Hour

Having adapted famous literary works of mystery and imagination, The Gothic Library will now conjure the Golden Age of Radio. On the first Friday of each month, classic Radio Theater favorites will be performed live. Our premier performance is a dynamic double bill featuring a tough-as-nails Western yarn and a chilling supernatural thriller.

About the stories:

The Pistol by Les Crutchfield

Adapted by Ren Pearson

When he uncovers the truth behind his brother's disappearance, a vengeful drifter wages war on those responsible. At first glance, he is outnumbered, until he acquires a new kind of weapon that just might even the odds.

The House in Cypress Canyon by Robert L. Richards

Adapted by Ren Pearson

A California real estate agent comes across a chilling manuscript in one of his properties. A manuscript that reads of a dark presence, more lethal than any home invader, turning the dream home of a young couple into a nightmare from which they will never wake.

Westerns, Mysteries, Adventure, Sci-Fi, Horror - nothing is off limits as we plumb the rich history of this uniquely American art form!

Directed and designed by Ren Pearson
