by John Saul, Laural Merlington (Read by), Joyce Bean (Read by)

When the Wind Blows (Narrator: Joyce Bean, Director: Laura Grafton, Engineer: Melissa Coates): The children were waiting. Waiting for centuries. Waiting for someone to hear their cries. Now nine-year-old Christie Lyons has come to live in the house on the hill-the house where no children have lived for fifty years. Now little Christie will sleep in the old-fashioned nursery on the third floor. Now Christie's terror will begin...When the Wind Blows the children must die!

The God Project (Narrator: Mel Foster, Director: Joyce Bean, Engineer: Melissa Coates): Something is happening to the children of Eastbury, Massachusetts... Something that causes healthy babies to turn cold in their cribs. Something that strikes at the heart of every parent's darkest fears. Something unexplained that is taking the children, one by one. Sally Montgomery has just lost her beautiful little baby girl. Lucy and Jim Corliss, bitterly divorced, have been reunited by the sudden disappearance of their son. They all know there must be a reason for the terror. But no one ever expected...The God Project.

Nathaniel (Narrator: Laural Merlington, Director: Ruth Bloomquist, Engineer: Mikael Naramore): Who is Nathaniel? For a hundred years, the people of Prairie Bend have whispered the name in wonder and fear. For young Michael Hall, newly arrived in isolated Prairie Bend after having lost his father to a sudden tragic accident, Nathaniel is the voice that calls him across the prairie night...the voice that draws him into the shadowy depths of the old, crumbling barn where he has been forbidden to go...the voice - chanting, compelling - he will follow faithfully beyond the edge of terror...Nathaniel.
