What happens when curiosity becomes obsession?

This Halloween, we’re sharing a sneak peek at The Haunted Library, a new BBC Studios podcast featuring actor Colin Morgan (Merlin, Belfast) as your guide and narrator through the most haunting and enduring horror stories.

Hear a teaser from Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, where Victor Frankenstein has devoted years to unlocking the secrets of life and death. As his work reaches its terrifying conclusion, the cost of that pursuit is already beginning to reveal itself.

If you want to get into the spooky spirit with immersive narration and unsettling soundscapes, you’ll love The Haunted Library. If you like what you hear, find The Haunted Library wherever you get your podcasts.
