Echoes out of Abaddon - Philip Emery

An e-chapbook collection of nine Gothic monologues and one bonus duologue.

'Fourth Wall': an actor on stage realises the true horror of his situation...

'Identity Crisis': once admired by Ian McMillan on Radio Three's arts programme 'The Verb', a mild-mannered accountant moonlights as a grim crusader for justice...

'Twilight Shifts': a robotic toll booth demands a gory fee for passage, and in its companion piece 'After Twilight' the urban belief tale is given an equally strange and bloody makeover...

Other 'echoes' include an aggrieved car owner remonstrating with Godzilla, a writer traumatised by the technological implications of the traditional rejection slip, and a young woman discovering the horrific secret behind her nightmares of past lives. And in the bonus duologue, a private eye in Downtown Postholocaust encounters some homicidal guys-in-black.

Also included is a new version of Phil Emery's eerie Radio Four Extra monologue 'ID' and an introduction by the play's producer.
