Though The Arabian Nights are generally known as stories for children, they were originally tales for adults full of adventure, sexuality, violence and the supernatural.
They certainly inspired the imagination of Sir Richard Burton, the 19th century explorer, linguist and erotologist who brought all his worldly experience and a superbly expressive prose style to bear on the tales of Sindbad the Seaman and Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves. Scheherazade must keep her king entertained with stories if she is to avoid the promised sentence of death.
Philip Madoc's sonorous performance allows the tales to weave their own enchantment as they have done down the centuries.

Fears For Ears explores a variety of horror genres with underlining themes of gore, murder and the paranormal. The final result is a broadcast quality audio collection of horror fiction stories reminiscent of popular old style radio dramas but created with today’s modern digital technology, music and sound effects. Fears For Ears goes far beyond the audio book format delivered by a single narrator. Over three hundred hours of recording and editing work have gone into this extensive technical production. Twenty actors magnificently portray the character voices and narrators, scores of sound effects are used to create depth and realism and music enhances the story and creates an eerie fright sensation. Fears For Ears is an award winning CD having won the prestigious Mark Time Ogle GOLD Award in 2002, Producer Aida Memisevic received the CJTR-FM Andy Kufluk Award for audio excellence as well as the City of Brampton Arts Acclaim Award.
