Fireside Mystery Theatre

When it comes to macabre and mysterious musings, the name Alexander Woollcott does not immediately come to mind — which makes this week’s tale “Moonlight Sonata” all the more affecting. Dim the lights as you hear James Rieser perform this minor key masterpiece of dread and demented horror. Hosted by Ali Silva (@alisilvapresent) Read and performed by James Rieser (@thejamesrieser) Created and produced by Gustavo Rodriguez & Ali Silva Additional production by Daniel Graves (@thedanielgraves) & Greg Russ Written by Silbin Sandovar (@sandovar) Theme music by Martina DaSilva (@ladybugsjazz) Engineered by Bill Haefner (@BRRband) Recorded at The Silo Studio in Shirley, NY For upcoming live shows go to: http://www.firesidemysterytheatre.com /// @firesidemystery Copyright 2016 Fireside Mystery Productions #horror #macabre #mystery #thriller #suspense #audiodrama #radiodrama #radiotheatre #standupcomedy #anthology #comedy #drama

This week Ali Silva treats us to a rich performance of Edgar Allan Poe’s the “Oval Portrait” — perhaps the macabre master’s shortest tale (as well as one of his most haunting and evocative) paired with a recitation of the sinister poem “The Haunted Palace.” Hosted by James Rieser (@thejamesrieser) Read and performed by Ali Silva (@alisilvapresent) Created and produced by Gustavo Rodriguez & Ali Silva Additional production by Daniel Graves (@thedanielgraves) & Greg Russ Written by Silbin Sandovar (@sandovar) Theme music by Martina DaSilva (@ladybugsjazz) Engineered by Bill Haefner (@BRRband) Recorded at The Silo Studio in Shirley, NY For upcoming live shows go to: http://www.firesidemysterytheatre.com /// @firesidemystery Copyright 2016 Fireside Mystery Productions #horror #macabre #mystery #thriller #suspense #audiodrama #radiodrama #radiotheatre #standupcomedy #anthology #comedy #drama

This week we celebrate the birthday (1st of August, 1862) of M.R. James, the Mozart of the modern tale of terror with a special reading of this insidious little chiller. Beware: like the best work of M.R. James this one really sneaks up on you! Not to worry, our own James Rieser is here to walk you through it… Hosted by Ali Silva (@alisilvapresent) Read and performed by James Rieser (@thejamesrieser) Created and produced by Gustavo Rodriguez & Ali Silva Additional production by Daniel Graves (@thedanielgraves) & Greg Russ Written by Silbin Sandovar (@sandovar) Theme music by Martina DaSilva (@ladybugsjazz) Engineered by Bill Haefner (@BRRband) Recorded at The Silo Studio in Shirley, NY For upcoming live shows go to: http://www.firesidemysterytheatre.com /// @firesidemystery Copyright 2016 Fireside Mystery Productions #horror #macabre #mystery #thriller #suspense #audiodrama #radiodrama #radiotheatre #standupcomedy #anthology #comedy #drama
