Famous Authors on Radio

- a resource for OTR fans who also love to read. Some of the best audio drama ever produced was based on the writings of well-established authors. This page identifies those authors and provides a comprehensive list of their stories that have been dramatized on radio. It also provides links to off-site resources where you can find more information about those same authors. Most of the links will take you to the Internet Speculative Fiction Database, but if the author is not listed in that database, I have provided a link to Wikipedia or some other reputable source.

Currently this archive contains 2,796 stories from 907 authors

Popular authors include:

Alexandre Dumas | Alfred Bester | Algernon Blackwood | Ambrose Bierce | Arthur C. Clarke | Arthur Conan Doyle | Bram Stoker | Charles Dickens | Clifford Simak | Edgar Allan Poe | Frederik Pohl | Guy de Maupassant | Harlan Ellison | Henry James | Henry Kuttner | H.G. Wells | Honoré de Balzac | H.P. Lovecraft | Isaac Asimov | John Wyndham | Joseph Conrad | Jules Verne | Kurt Vonnegut | Lord Dunsany | Mary Shelley | M.R. James | Murray Leinster | Nathaniel Hawthorne | Philip K. Dick | Poul Anderson | Ray Bradbury | Robert Bloch | Robert Heinlein | Robert Louis Stevenson | Robert Sheckley | Robert Silverberg | Rudyard Kipling | Stephen Vincent Benét | Theodore Sturgeon | Washington Irving |

Note: I have only a few hundred BBC stories in my collection, so I have not been able to independently verify most of the BBC authors or dates below. I have gathered that information from BBC Genome Project, BBC Radio Listings, and Diversity Website. Unfortunately, since I don't have most of these episodes in my collection, I don't know which dates indicate new productions and which are simply rebroadcasts... and I fear that most of the older recordings are lost, anyway. Very sad.
