Terror on the Air!: Horror Radio in America, 1931-1952

A quick history of horror radio that isn't nearly as detailed as I'd hoped. TOTA relies heavily on plot summaries and the analysis is too light to justify spoiling the endings of so many wonderfully twisted tales. That said, Old Nancy and her "wise black cat, Satan" do get their due, and I did come away with a nice list of titles to hunt down in iTunes' podcast directory. There are also some fantastic photographs of radio mainstays, Arch Oboler and Agnes Moorehead among them, included throughout the book.
