Tales from Beyond the Pale returns to Lincoln Center for an evening of contemporary audio dramas. One Night Only! August 22 at 7:30PM
New York City, 14 August 2018 — Glass Eye Pix is pleased to announce a brand new live presentation of Glenn McQuaid and Larry Fessenden’s award winning audio drama series, TALES FROM BEYOND THE PALE, now in its eight year of operation. The spooky anthology series takes its cues from the likes of old radio shows The Inner Sanctum and The Mercury Theatre while putting its own rich spin on the audio drama format. With 42 tales under its belt, available on CD, vinyl, and as digital downloads, TALES FROM BEYOND THE PALE offers listeners a thoroughly immersive auditory experience: Observations both personal and political co-mingle with whatever creature, creep, or ghoul Fessenden and McQuaid conjure up.
On Wednesday, August 22 at 7:30 PM, as part of the Lincoln Center’s SCARY MOVIES XI, the evening will feature two brand new tales, Die Sleeping My Sweet by McQuaid, and Blackout by Fessenden, performed live at the Walter Reade Theater, with actors, foley artists, sound designers, and musicians all on stage — it is quite a sight; and if you dare to close your eyes, quite a listen! Also on offer, a very special live presentation of two epic audio poems set for a Tales Halloween release on vinyl.
Join Tales for “Autumn in August” 2018!

“Eerie-fy your ears with this CD box set of terror-themed audio plays boasting performers like Vincent D’Onofrio, Ron Perlman, and horror auteur Larry Fessenden, whose spine-tingling intros would make Vincent Price proud. Bwah-ha-ha!” — Entertainment Weekly
“Some episodes re-create pop-culture archetypes… Other episodes play with expectations of characters that seem familiar… At least half the enjoyment, though, is the colorful sound design” — The Wall Street Journal
“fans of shows from ‘A Prairie Home Companion’ to ‘This American Life’ that take their stylistic cues from radio’s glory days — should enjoy these macabre R-rated tales.” — The New York Times
