Old Radio ShowsDark FantasyW is For WerewolfW is For Werewolf was the thirteenth tale in the Dark Fantasy series and it was first broadcast on Friday 13th. The name is a bit of a give-away and the story is about as predictable as they come, but for those of you who haven't guessed it is a werewolf story.When Jim Howarth visits his friend Bill Andrews at Cape Howe he discovers that he no longer lives on the mainland, but on an island. Getting to the island involves a short trip on a row boat, but Bill's son Johnny is there to do most of the work. Jim has not seen Johnny for a long time and is keen to shake his hand. Johnny is reluctant to shake hands though, but he has such hairy palms that it is little wonder that he is embarrassed. Johnny's hairy palms may be strange, but they are, perhaps, not as strange as his father's taste in reading matter: Dr Helgion Woodward's book on Lycanthropy, Henry Joseph McLure's pamphlet on the disease Lupus Vulgarus and Guy Ender's story Werewolf of Paris. Jim cannot imagine what his friend wants with such books, but it was pretty obvious to me. You can listen to the full story by clicking the link below.
