From the brilliant folks at Radio Macabre and VincentPrice.org, a reading from the works of Vincent Price - in his own voice. Click to play.

"I think all of us like a touch of elegance in our lives now and then. I certainly do. I am of course taking about inviting a few friends for dinner and serving wines with every course. It's so easy and everyone enjoys it so much. You know, we Americans are basically a really friendly and formal people, and somehow we feel embarrassed about doing things in a formal and magnificent way, and we shouldn't."

"First of all, a formal dinner party for six or eight people is fun, because graciousness is always pleasant and formality provides a refreshing break from everyday existence."

Amen, Mr. Price. Amen.

And consider this an amuse bouche for the audio bounty that's about to befall you. Yup - Vincent's hosting dinner, and you're all invited.
