Fight Club (BBC Radio, 2015) by Chuck Palahniuk, starring Elaine Cassidy as Marla

Support me on Ko-Fi: This seemingly little-known adaptation of the book made famous by the David Fincher film might seem to be an incongruous choice for a BBC radio drama. Nonetheless, BBC radio has always been prepared to show it’s teeth, and this is a pretty good example. Though it’s not always considered to be a horror story, Fight Club absolutely is because when that famous twist is in view, the story has a striking similarity to a very famous classic horror novella... but I won’t say which one, just in case you’ve somehow not heard what the twist in this twisted story is... MYSTERIOUS MAGPIE is a channel devoted to ghost and horror stories on British radio, and to dark tales of every kind. I have another channel, MYSTICAL MAGPIE, which is all about stories of fantasy, mythology, and adventure: @MysticalMagpie-wo5fn If you’re interested to know more about the century-long history of ghost and horror stories broadcast at Christmas on British television and radio, you might like to check out HOLLY WRAITHS (and its companion volume HOLLY TERRORS), an A-Z guide available in paperback and ebook from Amazon and .
