A kaleidoscope of genres, themes, topics, and motifs await the listener here. From comedy and mystery, to horror and children’s stories, Season Four abounds in fairy tales adventures, challenges to the listener’s imagination, and joyrides through the unknown realms of the psyche. One of the most famous short stories in horror fiction, "The Call of Cthulhu" sits next to the funny characters of "Right Ho, Jeeves" by Wodehouse, while the eponymous sleepyhead from "Rip Van Winkle" is very much awake, facing H. G. Wells’ "The Door in the Wall".

B. J. Harrison does not tire of the adventurous and mysterious settings in his choice of narratives.

Apart from the ubiquitous presence of the authors who work in the short story tradition, the Second Season introduces poems and novellas. The romantic poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge is here with his haunting and supernatural sea adventure "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner", while Rudyard Kipling tests the human condition with his famous poem "If". Perhaps the most potent addition in this second part is Joseph Conrad’s timeless novella "The Heart of Darkness", exploring the darkest recesses of the human soul. B. J.

Mange forbrydelser kommer først efter lang tids forløb for dagens lys. Dette gælder blandt andet bedragerier, hvor der kan gå år, inden revisionen kommer til klarhed over stedfundne uregelmæssigheder. Mange tyverier erkendes ligeledes ofte efter længere tids forløb, og hvor der er tale om drab, og gerningsmanden har skjult sit offer, kan det ske, at dette aldrig findes eller først efter lang, lang tid – og ofte kun ved en tilfældighed, findes.

Den 19. september 1975 kl. ca. 05.10 blev der påsat en brand i et af pakhusene i Københavns Frihavn.
