DANGER IN THE DARK

This is a title in an ongoing series of full-cast audiobooks featuring stories from the golden age of science fiction written by L. Ron Hubbard. The production quality is simply excellent, with sound effects and a full cast performing all the roles. The stories are pulp fiction—churned out quickly for low-paying magazines of the time. All three in this collection are fantasy tales. In "Danger in the Dark" (1939) a man named Billy Newman confronts a god in the Philippines. "The Room" (1942) is a ghost story, and "He Didn't Like Cats" (1942) is about a man who doesn't like cats, and pays for it. The packaging is attractive and includes a booklet filled with pictures and biographical information on the author. S.D.D. © AudioFile 2009, Portland, Maine [Published: MARCH 2009]
