In a move that is sure to delight his devoted fans, legendary director John Waters is set to narrate a series of his celebrated screenplays in a new audiobook collection. The collection, titled "The John Waters Screenplay Collection," is scheduled for release later this year from Macmillan Audio.

"Finally I get the opportunity no other film director would want; to go over the top of 'line readings', beyond multiple-motion-picture-disorder into a new dimension of celluloid insanity, and perform every single role in my movies out loud for your twisted enjoyment," the 79-year-old director said in a statement.
The upcoming audiobook collection promises to be a "delightfully trashy, wonderfully frenetic and audaciously edgy" experience, according to the publisher. Waters, known for his bold and unconventional filmmaking style, is sure to deliver a one-of-a-kind listening experience for his fans.
