Product Information
Fortune hunter Billy Newman is not a man of great strength or physical courage--he gets by on his wit, wiles and good looks. And he's had quite a good run--striking gold in the Philippines and buying his very own island in the South Seas. But there's trouble in paradise, and Billy's in the thick of it. The island's crops are failing. The island's people are dying. And the island's owner--Billy--is taking the heat. Why? Because he's angered the 75-foot-tall big-boss god of the island. 75-foot tall? To Billy it's a laughable superstition--until he finds out just how serious the islanders are. They're out to sacrifice a beautiful young woman to the supposed god. The only way Billy can save her is to humor the locals and pretend to take the spirit on. But the joke may be on Billy ... as he has to screw up some very real courage to face the very real Danger in the Dark. . Includes the fantasy adventures "The Room," in which Uncle Toby goes to his room, never to return, leaving it to his nephew to explore the magic and mystery of the place; and "He Didn't Like Cats," the story of one man's feline phobia and the hauntingly high price he pays for it. Set sail for a land of tropical breezes, white sand beaches and monstrous spirits as the audio version of Danger in the Dark invites you to share the fantasy ... and fear. "Brilliant performances ... and a rousing musical score." --Publishers WeeklyProduct Identifiers

Reviews"This is a title in an ongoing series of full-cast audiobooks featuring stories from the golden age of science fiction written by L. Ron Hubbard. The production quality is simply excellent, with sound effects and a full cast performing all the roles. The stories are pulp fiction-churned out quickly for low-paying magazines of the time. All three in the collection are fantasy tales. In 'Danger in the Dark' (1939) a man named Billy Newman , confronts a god in the Philippines. 'The Room' (1942) is a ghost story, and 'He Didn't Like Cats' (1942) is about a many who doesn't like cats, and pays for it. The packaging is attractive and includes a booklet filled with pictures and biographical information on the author."-Audiofile Magazine, "Originally published in 1939, this Hubbard tale takes listeners to the South Seas, where Billy Newman has purchased his own island at a bargain rate. Unfortunately, the island is dominated by natives who believe he is the source of their ill will. His only choice is to sacrifice a woman to their god or await their wrath against him. Read by a large cast, the story features brilliant performances by Karen Black, Jim Meskimen, Noelle North, R.F. Daley and Christina Huntington. The recording is chock-full of background sound effects that create an almost theatrical atmosphere and also features a rousing musical score. Two of Hubbard's other short stories-'The Room' and 'He Didn't Like Cats'-also get full-cast treatments in this package."
