BBC Radio 4 Extra - A Night with a Vampire, Series 2, A Lot of Mince Pies

By Robert Swindells. Carollers receive a special treat from the same cottage every year.

By Robert Swindells. A group of Christmas carollers visit the same cottage every year, and receive a special treat in return. Read by David Tennant.

Written by Robert Swindells.

Swindells is a British author known mainly for his children's books and indeed, this tale first appeared in a collection of haunted tales for the young adult. But it has a macabre and chilling undertone - set at Xmas and focussing on a group of carollers who visit the same cottage every year - and receive a special treat in return.....


David Tennant returns with another selection of chilling Vampire stories.
Last year in the first series we concentrated on Victorian Vampire output but in these five tales we enter the 20th Century and introduce stories with a little twist from the UK and the USA.


Producer: Clive Brill
A Pacificus Production for BBC Radio 4.
