Wow! This is one of the best adaptations I\'ve heard in a while. The story, the writing, the acting - all superb. Steve, you know how to pick \'em!
I listened to this while driving through Napa/Sonoma area a couple of evenings ago. The sliver of orange moon mixed with the shadowy twisting oaks really added to the experience. I swear something in the shadows on the side of the road lurched at me! :twisted:
I\'m of the opinion that the monster and main character are separate parts of the whole, although three days after hearing the episode, I\'m still internally debating that position. Anyway, I agree with you Steve that the open ending is put to great effect. Too often today open endings are merely segues to sequels (How many times can you see \"Jason\" reborn before you just don\'t care?). I\'m just glad that Mary Shelley wasn\'t my babysitter - I\'m sure I\'d have grown up to be a vegatative neurotic if I had to listen to her bedtime stories as a kid!
