We say goodbye to Herbert Marshall - one of the most frequent guest stars on Suspense. Marshall logged twenty appearances on "radio's outstanding theatre of thrills" between 1944 and 1959. He also starred in the 1940 audition show that helped to get Suspense a slot on the schedule. We'll hear him in a pair of those shows - an adaptation of Wilkie Collins' "The Dead Alive" (originally aired on CBS on March 9, 1953) and "The Long Shot," the story of a very deadly road trip (AFRS rebroadcast from February 9, 1958). Plus, we'll hear Marshall in his own radio series as The Man Called X - a debonair, globetrotting secret agent - in a pair of adventures (originally aired on NBC on January 13, 1951 and February 17, 1951).

Tonight's reading comes from The Lazy Tour Of Two Idle Apprentices. Written by Carles Dickens and Wilkie Collins, this story is a humorous travelogue about two characters taking a leisurely journey. My name is Teddy and I aim to help people everywhere get a good night's rest. Sleep is so important and my mission is to help you get the rest you need. The podcast is designed to play in the background while you slowly fall asleep.For those new to the podcast, it started from my own struggles with sleep. I wanted to create a resource for others facing similar challenges, and I'm so grateful for the amazing community we've built together.

Serena Venditto"Sette vite come i libri"Indagine per quattro coinquilini e un gattoGiallo Mondadoriwww.mondadori.itIn una Napoli semideserta all'indomani delle festività natalizie, Malù, archeologa con la passione per i gialli, ha un bel problema da affrontare: il suo dottorato di ricerca è finito e l'università non ha più fondi. In pratica, è disoccupata e senza un soldo. Per fortuna con l'aiuto dei suoi coinquilini trova un lavoretto in una libreria dell'usato, la Second Chance. E di quel posto si innamora all'istante: ogni libro sugli scaffali contiene tracce delle vite di chi l'ha letto, regalato, di chi fra quelle pagine si è perso, ha pianto, amato, sorriso. E alcuni di quei volumi ne hanno avute tante, di vite, prima di arrivare lì: tre, cinque, qualcuno persino sette. Come i gatti, sorride Malù pensando a quanto quel luogo pieno di odori e nascondigli piacerebbe al suo Mycroft. Un giorno le capita fra le mani una copia della Donna in bianco, capolavoro di Wilkie Collins. E sfogliandolo si accorge che alcune pagine sono intrise di sangue. Sangue fresco. Il suo istinto le dice che nel posto da cui proviene il libro è successo qualcosa di molto brutto. Ora sta a lei e alla compagnia dei suoi "Irregolari" - gatto Mycroft compreso - scoprire da dove viene il volume insanguinato, com'è arrivato fin lì e chi è la vittima. È l'inizio di una nuova, rocambolesca caccia al colpevole per gli irresistibili coinquilini di via Atri 36.Serena Venditto è nata nel 1980 a Napoli, dove lavora presso il Museo Archeologico Nazionale. Ha esordito nella narrativa con la commedia Le intolleranze elementari (Homo Scrivens, 2012). Nel 2018 ha pubblicato con Mondadori Aria di neve, il primo volume della serie gialla dedicata al gatto Mycroft e ai quattro coinquilini di via Atri 36, seguito nel 2019 da L'ultima mano di burraco, dall'ebook Malù si annoia (2020), da Grand Hotel (2021) e Commedia gialla con gatto nero (2023). Gli stessi personaggi compaiono nell'antologia Gatti neri e vicoli bui (Homo Scrivens, 2022), con Maurizio de Giovanni e Francesco Pinto, e in E cosy sia (Giallo Mondadori Big, 2024). Collabora con Homo Scrivens in qualità di editor e come direttrice della collana dedicata al giallo; per questa casa editrice nel 2020 ha curato Natale, istruzioni per l'uso e nel 2022 il romanzo di Wilkie Collins Mercy Merrick.

¿Qué sería de la industria del libro sin los libreros y libreras? ¿Sin esos emprendedores y emprendedoras que arriesgan sus cuartos para que podemos tener los mejores escaparates y asesoramientos bibliográficos? El libro necesita de buenas librerías y hoy visitan la Biblioteca de Hoy por Hoy dos de las mejores, Letras Corsarias de Salamanca que ha sido elegida la mejor de 2024 en España. En su nombre nos hablará Antonio Marcos, uno de sus corsarios. Y de Madrid nos llega la librera Laura Riñón de "Amapolas en octubre". Ella era azafata y soñadora de altos vuelos. Entre sus sueños tener un día una librería y desde hace seis años la tiene y es de las mejores de la capital. Con ellos hemos hablado de libro, de muchos libros, y de lectores que son los que a ellos le dan la vida. Entre los libros que nos han donado están 'La sra Dalloway' de Virginia Woolf (Penguin clásicos) , 'El amor en tiempos del cólera' de Gabriel García Márquez (DeBolsillo), donaciones de Laura Riñón, y Antonio Marcos nos ha dejado en nuestros anaqueles 'Necrosfera' de César Martín Ortiz (Baile del sol) y 'La hermandad de la uva' John Fante (Anagrama). Pero es que además nos han dejado los libros de sus escaparates. En "Amapolas en octubre" tienen 'James" de Percival Everett (De Conatus), 'Las aguas' de Bonnie Jo Campbell (Dirty Works) , 'Amada y perdida' de Susan Boyt (Muñeca infinita) , 'Diarios del olvido' de Deleste y 'Las luces azules' de Jennifer Johnston (Automática). Y en el escaparate de "Letras corsarias" 'A toda brida' de Kathryn Scanlan (Errata Naturae), 'Las ocasiones' de Ruben Lardin (Fulgencio Pimentel), 'Lloro porque no tengo sentimientos' de Bárbara Mingo (La navaja Suiza) y 'Cartas a Vicent' de Julio César Pérez (Libros del zorro rojo) . Nuestro bibliotecario Antonio Martínez Asensio, muy picado por la presencia de los libreros, nos trajo 5 libros ideales para regalar: 'Grandes amores. Veinte parejas inolvidables de la literatura' de Espido Freire e ilustrato por Antono Lorente (Edelvives) , 'Visión de Nueva York' de Carmen Martín Gaite (Siruela), 'En el corazón del bosque' de Lomig (Errata Naturae) , 'Las mil noches y una noche" (A partir de una versión inglesa de Sir Richard Burton) (Reino de Cordelia) y 'Palomar' (1 y 2) de Beto Hernández (La Cúpula). Las primeras novedades del año las trajo Pepe Rubio y fueron 'La Ilíada a la hora del aperitivo' de Giovanni Nucci (Siruela) y 'Que tenga una casa' de Florencia Del Campo (Candaya). Eva Cruz rescató un libro abandonado sobre un armario de la redacción de la SER, una joya titulada 'Quino inédito' de Quino, editado por Lumen, que recoge viñetas menos conocidas del ilustrador y humorista argentino que no solo creó a Mafalda , aunque la fama de esta ocultara el resto de su obra. También Antonio Martínez Asensio nos trajo los libros de sus programas 'Un libro una hora' y ' Un autor en una hora' : 'El baile" de Irene Nemirovski (Salamandra) y 'Caperucita en Manhattan' de Carmen Martín Gaite (Siruela) en ' un libro una hora. Y Antonio Machado en 'Un autor en una hora' . Y finalmente las donaciones de los oyentes: 'Cuentos de la Alhambra" de Washington Irving (Espasa), 'Una historia propia' de Donna León (Seix Barral) y 'La piedra lunar' de Wilkie Collins (Belacqua) .

We had the good fortune to talk with Marcia Clark and John Valeri about TRIAL BY AMBUSH, Marcia's first foray into the true crime genre, for which John served as her researcher. TRIAL BY AMBUSH is an investigation into the 1953 trial of Barbara Graham, a petty criminal whose life took a hard turn the night of a home burglary that ended in murder. Graham's trial was sensational, and the press coverage was a circus. Who better than famed prosecutor Marcia Clark to be the first to dig into the records to find out what really happened during the trial? Should Graham have ended up on death row? During Clark's investigation, her prosecutorial hero, J. Miller Leavy, surprisingly ends up on trial himself. Neither Chris nor Emily is a true crime reader, but we were both riveted to the pages of TRIAL BY AMBUSH and think you will be, too! Emily has been carrying on with her short story project and discusses four stories: “The Statue and the Bust” from THE COLLECTED SHORT STORIES OF SHIRLEY HAZZARD edited by Brigitta Olubas “Let the Chips Fall” by Emily Ross from the collection DEVIL'S SNARE: Best New England Crime Stories by 2024 edited by Ang Pompano, Leslie Wheeler, and Susan Oleksiw “Debris” from the collection A KIND OF MADNESS by Uche Okonkwo “Good Enough” from the collection A SMALL THING TO WANT by Shuly Cawood Chris finally finished her #Victober book, ARMADALE by Wilkie Collins, and then read two picture books, WHAT FEELING DO WHEN NO ONE'S LOOKING by Tina Oziewicz, illustrated by Aleksandra Zajac and translated by Jennifer Croft and SOMETHING, SOMEDAY by Amanda Gorman, illustrated by Christian Robinson. Some other books we discuss are: THIS CURSED HOUSE by Del Sandeen SHRED SISTERS by Betsy Lerner THE NEW MENOPAUSE by Mary Claire Haver, MD WHERE THEY LAST SAW HER by Marcie R. Rendon Chris also read A LITTLE BIT COUNTRY by Brian D. Kennedy. She loved it but doesn't discuss it in detail as it's our fourth quarter readalong. To join our Zoom discussion on December 8th at 7 pm ET, please email us (bookcougars@gmail.com). The conversation is free and open to all. As always, we discuss biblio adventures we've gone on and more books than we can include here. We hope you enjoy this episode. Happy Reading!
Do The Dead Appear At Noon? In the leafy paths of Kensington Gardens, where Victorian ladies take their morning walks, one woman feels an impossible touch. Not in darkness, but in searching daylight. Not with terror, but with recognition that defies reason. Someone watches her from behind curtained windows, measuring time with a doctor's patience. Family ties can bind or strangle, and some kinds of protection leave no visible trace. Wilkie Collins crafts a story where morning sunshine holds more mysteries than midnight, where what cannot be seen might prove more solid than shadow, and where the line between protection and possession blurs in the space between heartbeats. Take a while out of your busy day and listen to "Mrs. Zant and the Ghost," where daylight offers no refuge from what waits beyond the veil Learn more about your ad choices.

Tonight, we'll read the opening to “The Lazy Tour of Two Idle Apprentices”, written in collaboration by Charles Dickens and Wilkie Collins. Snoozecast first read this story back in the year 2020. An instrumental event in Wilkie Collins's career was an introduction in 1851 when he was in his late twenties, to Charles Dickens by a mutual friend. They became lifelong friends and collaborators. For example, first, Collins acted with Dickens in a play together. Among the audience were Queen Victoria and Prince Albert. Then one of Collins's stories was published in Dickens's magazine the next year. Later that year Collins went on tour with Dickens's company of amateur actors. “The Lazy Tour” reads as an autobiographical tour taken by the two of them in the north of Britain. What resulted is extremely whimsical, occasionally absurd, and it has to be said, very much of its time. The book takes place in the year 1857 and provides insight into the friendship and adventures of the pair of titans of Victorian literature. — read by 'M' — Sign up for Snoozecast+ to get expanded, ad-free access by going to snoozecast.com/plus!
