Summary

We meet teenager Cassie Pinkham, who grudgingly is reading books for the cantakerous bookkeeper, Mr. Gussy, as he recovers from surgery. Gussy sends Cassie back to his bookstore, warning Cassie that there is a particular book - The Dark Tome - that is not to be opened. Cassie, naturally, decides to open up the cover and see what it's all about. This flings Cassie into the world of acclaimed writer Joe Hill's chilling fable, "The Devil on the Staircase," narrated by a man who walks crooked steps for a living, before discovering a door that leads him straight to hell. Based on the short story, “The Devil on the Staircase” by Joe Hill. Adapted for audio by Fred Greenhalgh. Produced by Fred Greenhalgh and William Dufris. Directed by William Dufris. Voices by Lilly Thorne, Tim Sample, Brent Askari, Ian Carlsen, Jalen Weiss, Anna Gravel, Erik Moody, Jay Piscopo, Tom Alexander. Dialogue Editing by Grace Waldron. Sound Design by Rory O'Shea. Original Music by Peter Van Riet. Additional Music by Mind’s Eye Productions. The Dark Tome is a Dagaz Media production, presented by Realm. Listen Away.
