Post-Meridian RadioPod #3 is the final installment in the three week-long premiere of our 2007 live Halloween Thrillogy, Tomes of Terror II.

Once again we dug into the archives of the classic CBC Radio series Nightfall, where we came across one of Len Peterson’s scripts.  For the original Tomes of Terror, weperformed his adaptation of theclassic horror story, “The Monkey’s Paw” by W.W. Jacobs.  In this script, Peterson stays with the theme of English short stories, but moves us a little further back in time and a few thousand miles from the quaint middle-class home of the Todds.  Out into the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, in fact...  For our final story this year, we were delighted to perform Len Peteron’s adaptation of William Hope Hodgson’s nail-biting sea adventure...

Another adaptation from Nightfall, this one written by Len Peterson in 1980 and based on William Hope Hodgson’s eerie 1914 sea-bound thriller.  In 1887, the crew of the merchant windjammer Alfred Jessop, adrift for days and shrouded in an unnatural mist, stumble across the wreck of an impossible ship.  Venturing aboard the derelict challenges the sanity of a stalwart British sea captain and his faithful crew.
