In 2012 the Post-Meridian Radio Players put out a call for original horrifying tales for that Halloween. Three winners were selected and performed as the anthology show Tomes of Terror: New Arrivals.
This performance was recorded live and hosted by Tom Champion as The Archivist.
The first terrifying selection was Shivers on Highway 61:
“A biker gang unwittingly unleashes a ghost of one of their former comrades in this homage to Marlon Brando's ‘The Wild One’.”
Written and Directed by Alicia Goranson
This story originally appeared as the After Dark feature in the Mask of Inanna episode “The Black Velvet Ribbon”. This is the first time it has been performed live and independently of the Mask of Inanna series.

The second terrifying selection was The Crasher:
“A writer with a history of substance abuse tries to get things back on track by moving to a small, quiet town. Unfortunately, the new house stands beside a graveyard--an unquiet graveyard--surrounded by a fence with a history of its own.”

“Charlie Evans has worked for the MBTA his whole life. Now the system faces cutbacks and privatization and there's nothing he can do about it. That's when he gets a very unusual offer that might save the T, if Charlie can afford the fare."
