Little Evil Things, Volume IV [Audiobook] [Audio CD]

Tracy London (Author), Frank Macchia (Author)

Book Description

Enter a world of fear and terror as Little Evil Things, Volume V continues the highly successful series of original horror stories with modern music and sound design, featuring an all-star cast of Los Angeles' finest actors and musicians.

Little Evil Things will not only have you on the edge of your seat; it is also truly unique in that Macchia tailors his original music to the actors' performances, resulting in a film-like musical score. It is this perfect marriage of words and music that sets an effective creepy atmosphere for these compelling stories.

Volume V tells five new tales of terror to chill your bones:

Whispers in the Attic - Greetings and salutations from an old friend.

The Happy Wanderer - A driver who has lost his way finds a new way home.

O.S. 666 - A software giant creates the perfect world.

Dreamgirl - An unfaithful husband finds the girl of his dreams.

The Impaler - A mysterious creature is cloned from a fossil.

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Grade 9 Up-Conducted by Konstantin Krimets, the Moscow Symphony Orchestra sets the eerie tone for Little Evil Things IV with the overture "Little Evil." Although occasionally a little overpowering, the symphony music adds to the atmosphere of each of the five original horror stories written by Frank Macchia and Tracy London with narration by Jim McDonald, Rick Giovinazzo, Tracy London, Alan Brooks, and James Harper. "Lost" keeps listeners on the edge of their seats wondering if the death-row prisoner is actually suffering the torments of Hell or simply hallucinating. "Hazardous to Your Health" makes us keenly aware of being careful of what we wish for. "Infection" horrifies listeners with the prospect of an apparently harmless spot becoming a patient's worst nightmare. "In Your Head" examines the possibility that those apparently ordinary gray hairs might be something much more sinister. "The Violin's Curse" is a Russia folktale populated by gypsies, ancient curses, and ghosts longing for peace in the next life. Each of these adult-themed, slightly off center stories is reminiscent of those made popular by the original Outer Limits and Twilight Zone television programs.

5.0 out of 5 stars Spine-chilling, hair-raising, theatre-of-the-mind listening!, August 5, 2000

This review is from: Little Evil Things, Volume IV (Audio CD)

This fourth volume in the "Little Evil Things" audio series showcases original, spine-tingling stories enhanced with forty minutes of contemporary music played by their Moscow Symphony Orchestra and a wealth of chilling and effective sound effects. Highly recommended for fans of the bizarre and horrific, these new and harrowing tales include Lost (A man suffers the tortures of Hell in a nightmarish dream, or is it just a dream?); Hazardous To Your Health (a 1940s mobster gets hooked on a deadly habit); Infection (A man's life gets turned inside out when he discovers a spot on his arm); In Your Head (are those gray hairs really what they appear to be?); The Violin's Curse (gypsies and a haunted victim).

4.0 out of 5 stars Scary!, December 20, 2000

Affaire de Coeur - See all my reviews

This review is from: Little Evil Things, Volume IV (Audio Cassette)

Want to be scared? Little Evil Things 4 (one CD, 75 min, original production, Little Evil Things) is a scare a minute. These small pieces of horror on a stick are light enough for the tame of soul and frightening as an adult case of goosebumps. Note to actor Jim McDonnell: Keep scaring the hell outta me. You do it in every evil collection.

This review is from: Little Evil Things, Volume IV

Hollywood is overflowing with talent. Nowhere is this more evident than in the incredible number of aspiring film composers working diligently day in and day out to fulfill the destiny of their talent and create music for motion pictures. Frank Macchia is one of these incredible artists. Little Evil Things 4 epitomizes that talent in one intense flurry of creative output. You would be hard pressed to find a more perfectly produced and rendered entertainment of this genre. In a media marketplace of cookie cutter product produced by a handful of mega conglomerates it is indescribably refreshing to find a work such as this--a recording of this calibre that is commercially available and is a true expression of a group of artists' intentions. And besides all of that; it is incredibly entertaining! The Moscow Symphony is wonderful, as are all of the other performances. This is a must have CD.
