Accompanying sound effects and soundscapes and 14 guest character readers are featured throughout the 1.5-hour recording. (Complete list of guests appears at end of the product description). The cassette format takes on the traditional appearance of a vintage cassette, but instead of ferric tape media, it features a retractable USB adapter that seamlessly plugs into any USB media port for instant access to 4 file formats of the recording. Each file format option (16_44k wav, 24_48k wav, FLAC & MP3) breaks the story down into 23 individual tracks (one for each matching chapter of the accompanying book) so you can read along in sequence with the recording, or access an adjoining folder that allows you to listen to it as one whole piece. The USB Cassette also includes a folder that houses the physical "Book of the Vampires" in e-book format. Here it can be downloaded in PDF format- or uploaded to your personal e-reader by downloading the provided MOBI or EPUB files of the story. A bonus folder includes the entire "Nosferatu (Original Score)" by Argyle Goolsby which was written in conjunction with Argyle Goolsby's 2020 scoring of the 1922 film.
