Under a full moon, a young woman deals with two tormentors by unexpected means. Michelle Gomez reads John Connolly's tale.

How often have you done something which seemed out of character only to discover that a full moon fell on that day or week? Five stories marking a full moon. When someone or something unexpectedly steps outside of the norm is it just coincidence, or is there really something in The Lunar Effect?

The Cycle, written by John Connolly and read by Michelle Gomez.

On her way home from work on an almost deserted train, a young woman starts to suffer pains that we are led to believe indicate her period is imminent. When two troublemaking youths board the train and there is a subsequent delay, the boys' unwanted attention, the woman's increasing pain and the effect of the full moon result in the demise of her tormentors by unexpected means...

Episode 1

A mild-mannered doctor and his monstrous alter-ego. Tim Pigott-Smith reads Robert Louis Stevenson's classic tale of a dual personality.

Abridged by Morag Lyall.

The mild-mannered Dr Jekyll has discovered the ultimate drug; one that can turn him into something else. Suddenly, he can unleash his deepest cruelties in the guise of the sinister Mr Hyde. Transforming himself at will, he roams the streets of fog-bound London as his monstrous alter-ego. It seems he is master of his fate. It seems he is in complete control.

But soon he'll discover that his double life comes at a hideous price...

Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894), Scottish essayist, poet and author of fiction and travel books, was known especially for his novels of adventure. Stevenson became famous with the romantic adventure story Treasure Island, which appeared in 1883.

This evening, Lottie feels that something is wrong, some change in the atmosphere.
