Christopher Lee is best known for his portrayal of Dracula in numerous Hammer Horror films, and more recently as the villian Saruman in Lord of the Rings. Fireside Tales was originally broadcast on BBC Radio 2 on December 30th, 2004. It features Lee reading five classic tales of horror from the late 19th/early 20th century. Lee does a great job bringing these stories to life, and his voice is perfect for the role. Hopefully one day he'll get around to doing a Lovecraft story or two.
Track List:
1. The Black Cat (1843 - by Edgar Allen Poe)

Thank you for these tales from the greatest master of the genre [and I'm not forgetting his great friends Vincent Price and Peter Cushing]
Heh. I was always a fan of "Monkey's Paw." Kind of strange hearing it coming from Saruman and Count Dooku
Smooth moves, man. These Christopher Lee records are amazing, thanks!
Thanks, Zer0_II!
