Five Short Stories by LP Hartley (1988) - Night Fears, read by Robert Lang

Ten years after reading five stories by Ambrose Bierce, Robert Lang returned to BBC Radio to read five tales by L.P. Hartley. Strange and insinuating, my particular favourite is 'Someone in the Lift', since discovering that this story was adapted as a short film for BBC Television and broadcast on Christmas Eve. That adaptation seems to now be lost, so I'm all the more glad to have a decent reading of it...
MYSTERIOUS MAGPIE is a channel devoted to ghost and horror stories on British radio, and to dark tales of every kind. I have another channel, MYSTICAL MAGPIE, which is all about stories of fantasy, mythology, and adventure: / @mysticalmagpie-wo5fn

Not heard of "Someone in the Lift". What a shame the TV version is lost.

Yes, it was shown as part of 'Late Night Line Up' - but rather intriguingly they *have* recently re-discovered a reading of The SIgnalman recorded for Late Night Line Up in the 1960s, performed by Emlyn Williams. I had no idea that existed either, but given that Williams's 1950s reading of the story for TV is lost, it's a wonderful compensation...
