THE BEST MYSTERIES OF THE YEAR 1988

This set includes ten stories read in their entireties. Each story is separately presented, and the effect for the listener is that of listening to a series of vintage radio programs. Before each reading, there is a brief introduction to the author. Even though several of the stories are read by the same person, each presentation is unique. Brief musical bridges span the divisions between stories and between sides of the tapes. The highlight of the collection is Harlan Ellison's own dramatic telling of his 1988 Edgar Award-winning story, "Soft Monkey," a truly riveting glimpse of daily survival for a New York City "bag lady."
