Sherlock Holmes: The Complete BBC Collection: 60 Full-Cast Dramatisations
Arthur Conan Doyle
Fully dramatised adaptations of all 60 Sherlock Holmes stories, brought to life with a full cast of actors, sound effects and musicArthur Conan Doyle's legendary detective Sherlock Holmes and his dear friend Dr Watson are among the most enduringly popular fictional characters ever created. Their adventures have been dramatised countless times on radio, TV and film, but until BBC Radio 4 took on the challenge in 1989, no one had ever attempted to adapt all sixty stories. Beginning with A Study in Scarlet and concluding with The Hound of the Baskervilles, their epic project took over 8 years to complete - and this landmark collection contains the extraordinary result of their labours. Here is the world's first ever fully dramatised Sherlock Holmes canon: 56 short stories and 4 novels, all made by the same team of directors, producers, dramatists and leading actors, and packed with the high production qualities of a film or TV drama that set it apart. Starring one of radio's great double acts, Clive Merrison and Michael Williams, as Holmes and Watson, and with guest stars including Brian Blessed, Judi Dench, Maurice Denham, Andrew Sachs, Peter Davison, Robert Glenister and Harriet Walter, this definitive collection contains over 48 hours of enthralling listening. Also included is a bonus interview with Adrian Conan Doyle about his father, Sir Arthur, and some fascinating behind-the-scenes revelations from the series' head writer, Bert Coules, about the making of the radio adaptations.CastSherlock Holmes - Clive MerrisonDr John Watson - Michael WilliamsMrs Hudson - Anna Cropper/Mary Allen/Joan Matheson/Judi DenchInspector Gregson - John MoffattInspector Lestrade - Donald Gee/Stephen ThorneMary Morstan/Mary Watson - Moir Leslie/Elizabeth Mansfield/Hannah GordonIrene Adler - Sarah BadelInspector Jones - Nigel CarringtonColonel Moran - Fraser Kerr/Frederick TrevesMycroft Holmes - John HartleyProfessor Moriarty - Michael PenningtonProduction creditsWritten by Arthur Conan DoyleDramatised by Bert Coules with David Ashton, Michael Bakewell, Roger Danes, Robert Forrest, Denys Hawthorne, Gerry Jones, Peter Ling, Vincent McInerney and Peter MackieProduced and directed by Ian Cotterell, David Johnston, Patrick Rayner and Enyd WilliamsMusicians: Alexander Balanescu, Leonard Friedman, Richard Friedman, Michael Haslam, Ian Humphries and Abigail YoungContentsA Study in Scarlet, The Sign of the Four, The Hound of the Baskervilles, The Valley of Fear, The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, A Scandal in Bohemia , The Red-Headed League, A Case of Identity, The Boscombe Valley Mystery, The Five Orange Pips, The Man with the Twisted Lip, The Blue Carbuncle, The Speckled Band, The Engineer's Thumb, The Noble Bachelor, The Beryl Coronet, The Copper Beeches, The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes,Silver Blaze, The Yellow Face, The Stockbroker's Clerk,The Gloria Scott, The Musgrave Ritual, The Reigate Squires, The Crooked Man, The Resident Patient, The Greek Interpreter, The Naval Treaty, The Final Problem, The Return of Sherlock Holmes,The Empty House, The Norwood Builder, The Dancing Men, The Solitary Cyclist, The Priory School, Black Peter, Charles Augustus Milverton, The Six Napoleons, The Three Students, The Golden Pince-Nez, The Missing Three-Quarter, The Abbey Grange, The Second Stain, His Last Bow,Wisteria Lodge, The Cardboard Box, The Red Circle, The Bruce-Partington Plans, The Dying Detective, The Disappearance of Lady Frances Carfax,The Devil's Foot, His Last Bow, The Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes,The Illustrious Client, The Blanched Soldier, The Mazarin Stone, The Three Gables, The Sussex Vampire, The Three Garridebs, The Problem of Thor Bridge, The Creeping Man, The Lion's Mane, The Veiled Lodger, Shoscombe Old Place, The Retired Colourman First broadcast on BBC Radio 4 between November 1989 and March 1995 Read more

Never Whistle at Night: An Indigenous Dark Fiction Anthology
Shane Hawk - editor
NATIONAL BESTSELLER A bold, clever, and sublimely sinister collection that dares to ask the question: “Are you ready to be un-settled?” “Never failed to surprise, delight, and shock.” —Nick Cutter, author of The Troop and Little Heaven Featuring stories by: Norris Black Amber Blaeser-Wardzala Phoenix Boudreau Cherie Dimaline Carson Faust Kelli Jo Ford Kate Hart Shane Hawk Brandon Hobson Darcie Little Badger Conley Lyons Nick Medina Tiffany Morris Tommy Orange Mona Susan Power Marcie R. Rendon Waubgeshig Rice Rebecca Roanhorse Andrea L. Rogers Morgan Talty D.H. Trujillo Theodore C. Van Alst Jr. Richard Van Camp David Heska Wanbli Weiden Royce K. Young Wolf Mathilda Zeller Many Indigenous people believe that one should never whistle at night. This belief takes many forms: for instance, Native Hawaiians believe it summons the Hukai’po, the spirits of ancient warriors, and Native Mexicans say it calls Lechuza, a witch that can transform into an owl. But what all these legends hold in common is the certainty that whistling at night can cause evil spirits to appear—and even follow you home. These wholly original and shiver-inducing tales introduce readers to ghosts, curses, hauntings, monstrous creatures, complex family legacies, desperate deeds, and chilling acts of revenge. Introduced and contextualized by bestselling author Stephen Graham Jones, these stories are a celebration of Indigenous peoples’ survival and imagination, and a glorious reveling in all the things an ill-advised whistle might summon.
