David Tennant reads The Girl With The Hungry Eyes on Book At Bedtime tonight

Tonight at 10.45pm David Tennant reads the Book At Bedtime on BBC Radio Four.

The story today is called The Girl With The Hungry Eyes and it can be heard worldwide at this link. (After broadcast a MP3 of the story will also be posted onto DavidTennantOnTwitter.com.)

The story is written by Fritz Lieber and it is part of the A Night With A Vampire 2 series. (David Tennant read the first series in 2010. That series concentrated on Victorian Vampire output but in this year they are set in the 20th Century and introduce stories "with a little twist from the UK and the USA.")

The synopsis of the story The Girl With The Hungry Eyes from the BBC Radio Four website is:

"This 1949 story has exerted it's grip on many an imagination and has been filmed several times. It concentrates on the magnetic power of the Vampire and - in this case - the utterly captivating and inescapable lure of a Vampiress cum glamour model."

The producer of this series is Clive Brill and it is a Pacificus production for BBC Radio 4.
