Summary
A baker's dozen audio dramas are conjured out of the imagination of author Richard Curtis. Everyday places and situations are the backdrops for tense and unpredictable confrontations. A chance encounter between neighbors in their building's trash room, a routine visit to a yoga class, a friendly chat in the cardiac recovery ward of a hospital-thirteen commonplace moments escalate into tension, violence - and even death. Patterned after such classic suspense radio programs as Inner Sanctum and The Shadow, every tale from The Creepery promises to wrack your nerves to the breaking point. • "You Have a Guest" - It isn't a sin to fantasize about your wife's sister... or is it? • "Get Well Soon" - A hospital cardiac ward is the last place you would expect to hear a political quarrel. For Stanley Finster and Roy Janssen, it may well be the last place they hear anything at all. • "Affair of the Heart" - Roger Barskin left his wife in a doctor's care. Perhaps the doctor cared a little too much. • "Table Reading" - Clifford Dimsdorp says he's been ripped off. If he can't get his money back, he'll take his refund in blood. • "As I Lay Peeing" - Was it a simple medical procedure? Or was it Robert Tandry's descent into the jaws of Hell? • "Rogue Restroom" - Boy meets girl in the unlikeliest place - a unisex bathroom, where nothing functions the way it's supposed to. • "Driven" - A drive to the country club in a luxurious limo takes a sharp turn into the terrifying unknown. • "Have a Nice Transaction" - When Stuart encounters a vagrant at the bank, he hears a hard luck story. Whose hard luck, he is about to find out. • "Trash Talk" - A chance encounter of two neighbors disposing of their garbage produces the sickening odor of danger. • "Is it Hot in Here or Is it Just Me?" - Just how hot is Hot Yoga? Marty's love-starved wife Laura is about to find out. • "The Client from Hell" - The aliens from another world traveled the universe looking in vain for an intelligent race. At last, they came to the planet Earth, but alas... they found none there, either. • "The Man in the Shuffle" - Ralph Miller will do anything to get rid of the voices in his head - anything. Anything! • "Godhead" - Godhead is the title of a favorite painting that Madeline, the artist, sold in a moment of weakness. Now she wants to meet the man who bought it, to discover if he is worthy of the masterpiece. Is he?
