BBCThe Dark Is Rising - 1. Midwinter Eve - BBC SoundsThis night will be bad. Tomorrow will be beyond all imagining
The first episode of the awesome Rob Macfarlane's 12-part audio adaption of Susan Cooper's fantasy classic The Dark is Rising is out today on BBC Sounds.
“When the dark comes rising, six shall turn it back;
Three from the circle, three from the track;
Wood, bronze, iron; water, fire, stone;
Five will return, and one go alone.”
Who will be listening to the new 12-part BBC radio adaptation of #TheDarkIsRising, starting December 20th? It will be broadcast on World Service and in the BBC Sounds app. I can’t WAIT.

The Guardian · Midwinter magic: Robert Macfarlane on the enduring power of The Dark Is Rising
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
