Dont kno bout story, but comments are funny' 😂

I just got around to listening to this one and I couldn't stop, this is one of the best stories I've heard in a long, long time. And perfectly narrated by Ian as usual, thank you so much for bringing us such an amazing story.

My great bullocks have easily found their way inside the prodigious aperture of your morally slovenly progentrix

"You outta be in pictures..." 🎶🎶 YOU FOOL! Warren is getting popcorn...

This is one of my favorites. Its the first story i listened to from this channel. I listen to it and At the Mountains of Madness, those are my go to every night almost. Thank you for your hard work and wonderful voice.

A little useless history connection here: Some might interpret in the first story that Chambers predicted the war with Germany, ie World War I, but he was probably alluding to an incident that actually happened in the 1880s. I believe it was the Samoan Islands, but I don't remember for sure off hand, but the US and the Germans had claim to different islands in the same island chain. The Germans started making aggressive overtures as though they may take the American islands by force. The US Navy at the time had been so neglected after the end of The Civil War, that it was determined that the Navy would have no ability to appose the Germans if they tried to attack. This prompted Congress to start giving some, albeit limited, funds to develop modern (for the time) battleships and cruisers to protect US overseas interests. Nothing ever came of the incident as far as hostilities, but I imagine Chambers was picturing a Naval battle with the Germans in the Pacific rather than the continental battles that happened historically. I just found that kind of interesting.

It's so good. Wow.

Point Arena... Outta left field.

I wonder if lavender is similar. I don’t like lavender flavored teas, it tastes like soap to me. So I wonder if it has aldehyde compounds or if I just subconsciously associate lavender scents with soap. 🤷‍♂️ I do like cilantro though, I don’t get a soap taste

This is so compelling - I won't forget it

🖤

I love this one

A great collection of stories. I particularly like "The Knavesmire Vampire" and the mighty god TSUAYTOR!

Beautiful story and narration 🕊️💀🕊️

Geowfeci?

Love a good ghost story, and there are some pearlers here😊😊❤

I've tried to get into Lovecraft since I was a teenager. Even with a co-author it still sucks. On and on and on and on. Much ado about nothing.

So many of these are favorites, but I still think the first one tops them all (Phantom Coach). I just adore the atmosphere the author created, along with the near-film-like visuals described so clearly, I nearly felt it was happening to me. You can't go wrong with a setting on the moors, especially in winter. Very few writers can still manage this today. Also perfectly narrated, as always. We are so spoiled.

I feel like hearing this story again today..

Ian & Jennifer is so great! as is this story, good for Irma!

My plums are ripe for this tale

Cthulhu fhtagn!

Thank you! This is awesome beyond description; like an entity from aeons past, only visible to those who have already lost their minds after witnessing the incommensurable horror contained in the dark walls of R'lyeh, and survived... Awesome! :)

Excellent! Well done! Very good. Thank you Mr Gordon and Horror Babble. Until next time.

"You fool! Warren caught these hands..." An excellent reading as always, Ian.

Some years ago there was a daytime interior illustration of an open-air mausoleum or crypt showing a wall of closed drawers. What video was that? I can't seem to find it anymore.

Listening from the ukwales ❤

Love listening to this! 52:49

love you guys! my favorite story! with an extremely delightful voice... love to hear it on rainy days... 😍😍😍💚💚

That was a fun one. Ian, you've got some serious talent

At least Warren isn't dead

I can't choose one!

I have my suspicions this is Pont1ns in Camber Sands. Each time I visited, I was struck by the lack of basic hygiene and many times, shared my chalet with many other creatures, who whilst unseen, plagued me for some time after. Most eerily, a good friend wrote her name on the dirty chalet window. When she rented the same chalet the next year, terrifyingly the name reappeared in the same place, same window. It was almost as if no one had bothered to clean them in a year.

Your calming voice has gotten me though a number of illnesses and operation recovery times. Thank you.

You fool! Warren is really poorly!

Sweeeet

Excellent. This story hits all the right notes.

What an unexpected treat!

You would be a perfect narrator for "The Castle of Otranto" by Horace Walpole - 1764; considered the first gothic (horror) novel in western literature... as far as I know from Wikipedia.

The casual racism has me in tears rn 🤣

These stories are interesting but, the voices ade pure prefection....it feels like Im there.

You fool.

There are very few ghost stories that really scare me and freak me out like the phantom coach

"At the Gate" They were truly the goodest boys!

Excellent! Well done Mr Gordon and Horror Babble. Thank you. Until next time.
