Fans of the remarkable Susan Cooper classic, “The Dark is Rising” have a real treat in store: BBC radio drama is set to start in a month. Script was adapted by a True Fan of the novel and it promises to be excellent. Here’s link to 6-minute promo. When they sing the “The Dark is Rising” poem at the end I literally got scalp-prickles. It’s PERFECT. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0dgrz83?partner=uk.co.bbc&origin=share-mobile

When the Dark comes rising, six shall turn it back…

@Kayray @melissawiley this SOUNDS incredible…I just listened to the 6m trailer, and it seems like it will be an amazing experience! ❤️🎧💥

I loved this series when I was younger, and I’m excited for the 12 episodes which will be released daily the last two weeks of December!
