I just received my author copy of the new
Dark Shadows audio drama,
Curse of the Pharaoh, which I wrote a while back for Big Finish Productions. It stars
Nancy Barrett as Carolyn Stoddard and
Marie Wallace as Dr. Gretchen Warwick, an Egyptologist. It's an excellent production, directed by
Joe Salvatore. All parties involved did a fabulous job bringing the script to life. The acting, the sound effects, the pacing, and the musical score by
Nigel Fairs all come together to excellent effect. This is my second
Dark Shadows dramatic reading project, and it's exciting as all getout to hear it performed...especially during those moments when it exceeds my own imagination. You can order the CD (and soon the mp3 download) from the Big Finish Web site:
Dark Shadows: Curse of the Pharaoh. It's very reasonably priced at $13, and that includes shipping.
Coincidentally, I just finished the first draft of my next script, tentatively titled
Dark Shadows: Blood Dance. The story is set in the 1920s and features Quentin Collins as the main series star. It'll be some time before it actually happens, but I'm sure Big Finish will do their usual fine job with it.
This Friday (10-9-09), I'll be selling and signing books at the
Woods of Terror on Church Street in Greensboro, NC, from 7
PM to 10
PM. Will have copies of
Other Gods, The Lebo Coven, and
Blue Devil Island. This a most elaborate and exciting haunted trail, and if you're in the area, come on around, so you can get scared as hell. I mean, that's what the season's all about, ain't it?
