Hypnogoria

This week we are delving into the eldritch worlds of HP Lovecraft once more, with Mr Jim Moon recounting and discussing Lovecraft's second tale featuring his recurring hero Randolph Carter, The Unnameable!

Yes at long last we are returning to Gotham City for another helping of Bat-history. In this episode, Mr Jim Moon explores Batman on the radio, looking at the attempts in the 1940s and 1950s to launch a Caped Crusader audio serial and the Dynamic Duo's aural team-ups with the Man of Steel!

This week in the Great Library of Dreams, Mr Jim Moon once again opens up the casebook of Mr Thomas Carnacki, the 20th century's greatest occult detective. In this penultimate investigation, as chronicled by his biographer Mr William Hope Hodgson, the Ghost-Finder finds himself all at sea in a most peculiar maritime mystery...

It's a New Year, and Mr Jim Moon selects some highlights from the past year. We discuss the world of the small press, review Ramsey Campbell's The Last Revelation of Gla'aki from PS Publishing, bend reality with Don Coscarelli's John Dies At the End, meet the marvelous Dr Ashens, and round off with the wonderful tribute to Peter Cushing that is the Spectral Press novella Whitstable by Stephen Volk.

In a surprise bonus Christmas show, we continue our Dickensian theme with Mr Jim Moon presenting a reading of The Flying Stars by GK Chesterton - a suitably festive case - Oh yes, it is! - investigated by Father Brown one fine Boxing Day!

It's Christmas Eve in the Great Library of Dreams, and Mr Jim Moon invites you to take a place by the fireside to hear a selection of classic Victorian ghost stories from Mr Charles Dickens and Dr MR James. We heard of The Goblins Who Stole a Sexton, encounter Rats, meet with The Signal-Man, and round off with Lost Hearts. A Merry Christmas to all, and to all a goodnight!

In this festive show, Mr Jim Moon tries to discover which is the best screen version of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol. Under consideration for the holly wreathed crown of King of the Carols is Bill Murray's Scrooged (1988), Scrooge (1951) starring Alastair Sim, the 1971 animated version from Richard Williams, The Muppets Christmas Carol (1992), the Albert Finney musical version Scrooge (1970), the 1984 George C Scott adaptation, the 1999 TV movie starring Patrick Stewart, and the 2002 computer animated version from Robert Zemeckis.

A pensioner's headgear is filling up with change, and geese are looking obese! Yes, Christmas is coming! And to get the festive season underway, Mr Jim Moon reads a suitably seasonal vintage ghost story - Our Dear Little Ghost by Elia Peattie, chats about the Victorians and Christmas, and presents an audio version of Dickens' A Christmas Carol.

From his festive fireside, Mr Jim Moon reviews a selection of books that would make perfect spine-chilling stocking fillers! We weigh up the various editions of MR James available, sample a collection of ghost stories from the Everyman Pocket Library, follow Jeremy Dyson's adventures in The Haunted Book, hear the mysterious Tales from the Black Meadow with Chris Lambert, and take tea with the vicar and Phil Rickman.

To celebrate 50 years of Doctor Who, Mr Jim Moon takes a journey through an A to Z of monsters, villains and aliens!
