Reflected Terror
Description
A gothic tale, says host Marshall, is “a style noted by a gloomy setting, grotesque or violent events, and an atmosphere of degeneration and decay.” Emily Falkirk faces all of these conditions when she goes to work for Joseph Coning Royston, a sad recluse living in a large, desolate mansion. He has become a victim of consuming depression since the untimely death of his beloved wife who looked, when she was alive, very much like Emily, a reflection he never wants to see again.
CBS Radio Mystery Theater is a radio drama series created by Himan Brown that was broadcast on CBS Radio Network affiliates from 1974 to 1982, and later in the early 2000s was repeated by the NPR satellite feed. In New York City it was not aired by the then all-news WCBS but by its originating station, WOR, which produced and announced it as simply Radio Mystery Theater.
