Default Mystery/Thriller Readings on Radio?

I just wondered if anyone knows of any stations that have a 'ghost story' or mystery/thriller slot nowadays? I've recently managed to download all 48 Fear on Four episodes and they were great. Is anything like this around today?

Radio 4 does all sorts of plays and story readings. They don't have a different slot for each genre though. Just check the listings and enjoy. Or just leave it on all the time and discover lots of new things, like I do

Radio 4 has just won the Sony Radio Awards Station of the Year - again.

This looks good, but after the 14day free trial, how costly is it?
