About this listen
Conceived during a fog-drenched car ride with nothing beyond the windshield but a horizon-less void, Larry Fessenden and Glenn McQuaid created the acclaimed Tales from Beyond the Pale, audio theater inspired by the vintage radio shows of Alfred Hitchcock and Orson Welles.
The series is produced by filmmakers Larry Fessenden, Glenn McQuaid, and Lisa Wisely.
When a plastic surgeon obsessed with creating the perfect form falls for a patient obsessed with becoming it, the two lose themselves in a synchronistic psychosis that culminates in a realization of their dreams more grotesque than either could have imagined. From award-winning writer/director Paul Solet, whose debut feature Grace had grown men fainting, comes a tale so distressing we have rated it… [SUGGESTED FOR MATURE LISTENERS]

Story
An American businessman undertakes the restoration of his ancient ancestral home in England. After moving in, he's haunted by strange phenomena, apparently coming from the very walls of the legend-haunted mansion. A team of experts joins him to dig into the centuried structure's shadowed past, and its shadowy cellars. Can the investigators solve the lingering mystery of the grim and rumor-shrouded priory, or are they merely ushering in the most horrific chapter of the house's monstrous history?

In "Is this Seat Taken?", a young man meets an alluring woman on the Long Island Railroad and slowly comes to realize they have a common past... but maybe not the one she is recollecting. In "The Grandfather", a perfectly ordinary grandfather feeds his perfectly ordinary cat, waiting for his perfectly happy family to arrive for a perfectly pleasant afternoon… until an unfortunate revelation puts them all on a tragic path, if the grandfather can’t unravel their perfect mess first.

woah now
my best advice is to pass on this one. Like many of these tales I don't find it particularly scarey, but this one really hits it out of the park in the gruesome and creepy department. I want to cut this story out of my brain, I'd like to return to a simpler time before I wanted to metaphorically slice memories from my mind. It was a better time in my life, you know an hour ago.

Horrifically Great
I love how twisted the whole story is, and how the idea of subjective beauty is stretched pretty wide here. It might be an addition to my favorite Tales From Beyond the Pale episodes.
