"Audio CD: Weird Circle." Weird Circle OTR MP3 List.
This CD contains a recording of an old radio adaptation of Le Fanu's "Schalken the Painter." Jim
Rockhill has sent the comments of R. J. Warren, who has heard the program. He writes: "the show
was 'The Wooden Ghost,' and it was a 'Weird Circle' program broadcast as of December 3, 1944. The
show's extant, and I may have a copy of it in my personal collection, so 'stay tuned,' as they once
said. The usual caveat applies: 'The Weird Circle' is a deeply flawed show and the quality of weird
tales adaptations varies considerably!'"

Texts of a number of Le Fanu's short stories. Some of the stories appear to have been attributed to
Le Fanu, but they may not be his work at all. They appeared in the Christmas number of Tinsley's
Magazine and later as a book titled A Stable for Nightmares with a known additional story by Le Fanu.
The author or authors of the stories are unknown, but Oliver Tearle has recently attributed "The
Spirit's Whisper" to Le Fanu on internal evidence. See the journal Le Fanu Studies.
