- One Hundred in the Dark (1942)
This story by Owen Johnson gathers its suspense in a very gentle way. It doesn’t have a spectacular finish with revolver shots, there are no graveyard watchers, there is not so much as a single lifeless body identified or unidentified. It’s a tale told in a clubroom in New York. A tale of high-class robbery and suspicion of ladies and gentlemen nervously counted “One Hundred In The Dark”…
Stars Eric Dressler and Alice Frost

32 min - The Kettler Method (1942)
Four days of rain had been, ceaseless, teeming, pouring with a steady relentless rhythm, four solid days. The fields around Culsten had been turned in to huge puddles that reflected the heavy swollen sky and Dr Morrissey was disturbed by a deep anxiety. He stood beside a window in his sanatorium which rose high on the lonely hill a few miles from the little town of Culston. It was three o’clock on an afternoon he would long remember…

32 min - The Hitch-Hiker (1942)
Ronald Adams is a young man embarking on a cross-country drive from New York to California. Soon after leaving his mother's home in Brooklyn, he sees a hitch-hiker standing in the rain on the Brooklyn Bridge apparently trying to get a lift. The man steps onto the roadway and Adams has to swerve to avoid him, but the incident slips his mind until about an hour later, when Adams is startled to see the same man standing along the Pulaski Skyway. He sees the same hitch-hiker several more times over the ensuing days, and though the man looks ordinary and non-threatening, Adams cannot understand how he keeps getting ahead along his route and is increasingly alarmed by his repeated appearances.

31 min - The Cave of Ali Baba (1942)
In a grim and narrow house in Lambeth a man sits eating kippers and reading the daily paper. He has just finished eating and is sipping his coffee when a slight noise at the front door catches his ear. Swiftly, too swiftly for a quiet little man, he springs up and dashes through to the small hallway and flings open the door. There is no-one in sight. And, as if he knew what he would find, he shuts the door and turns to the hat-stand in the hall. An envelope has been placed there.

32 min - The Lodger (1940)
The story is set in London in the year 1888, a London terrorized by the fifth in a succession of recent murders, murders of young attractive women. The unknown killer at large and little else absorbed their horrified imagination of the great city. Of all those in fine quarters and of all those in small grimy houses as for example Ellen Bunting. Ellen was no different from all the other middle-aged housewives dwelling in squalid Whitechapel. She knew all the known facts of the case of the wielder of the night that had come to be known as the Avenger.
Stars Herbert Marshall and Edmund Gwenn (audition episode based on 1927 film The Lodger by Alfred Hitchcock)

About Night Shift Radio Presents: SUSPENSE!
From the publisher's feed
This is a rebroadcast of the original Suspense! Radio Show. Suspense is a radio drama series broadcast on CBS Radio from 1940 through 1962. One of the premier drama programs of the Golden Age of Radio, was subtitled "radio's outstanding theater of thrills" and focused on suspense thriller-type scripts, usually featuring leading Hollywood actors of the era. Approximately 945 episodes were broadcast during its long run, and more than 900 still exist.
Suspense went through several major phases, characterized by different hosts, sponsors, and director/producers. Formula plot devices were followed for all but a handful of episodes: the protagonist was usually a normal person suddenly dropped into a threatening or bizarre situation; solutions were "withheld until the last possible second"; and evildoers were usually punished in the end.
In its early years, the program made only occasional forays into science fiction and fantasy. Notable exceptions include adaptations of Curt Siodmak's Donovan's Brain and H. P. Lovecraft's "The Dunwich Horror", but by the late 1950s, such material was regularly featured. - via Wikipedia
