“On every hand were the signs of neglect and decrepitude, and I seemed haunted by the notion that Warren and I were the first living creatures to invade a lethal silence of centuries…. Keep up the good work and, as always, stay safe Jen and Ian.
I'd love to hear Jen doing more narrating I loved her in the podcast interview with the psychic investigater she has one of them Voices you can't wait to hear the storys she has to tell 👍👍🤗
This one felt really esoteric and weird. But that's why I've listened to it back to back. I wrote a horror story about a house guardian that protected a half, but would snatch up passersby. Dr. Creepen read it. This reminded me of it so much. It was also like a damned good Twilight Zone episode.
i love and hate these stories. They always pluck at my heart strings, always with this magnetic love crushed by horrific odds. Reminds me a lot of the King in Yellow. Even the Bohemian parts that are somewhat unrelated to later events. Perhaps I should say it just reminds me of Chambers' writing style in general, and how he writes love between his characters.
Spoiler discussion. 🎉 loved this story til the end. he started out so well. wish good had triumphed. these endings are always so easy to write - no complications!!! Julie Harris was in a movie where the house took her over, but there was a deep reason and the film was well directed and acted. very satisfying scary movie. but this ended too simplistically and i was disappointed. well read, of course, dear Ian :) 🌹🌱
Do you mind explaining the ending to me? Or at least confirming I got it right? House calls Anne into itself, Anne goes. Clem goes to Anne’s house, finds she’s gone into the house. Clem goes into the house, but Anne’s has been somehow eaten by the house. The end. What am I to make of this? What Anne the house? Is Clem just shell shocked? I really don’t get the payoff here with what was otherwise a well written and suspenseful story.
@@diego_villena hi -that’s what i meant. it’s an easy way for a writer to end a story - no thinking involved. it makes no sense whatsoever and it’s meaningless. have a good day :) 🌷🌱
Okay guys I’m sorry, can someone explain the mic drop at the end? I followed the story up to the very end, where it seems to have ended in anticlimax. Am I missing something? Ann disappeared into the house, Clem followed, didn’t find her. That’s it?
I really dislike this story. The premise of a building that's alive and stalks people across the city without even a suggestion of how it got this way is so bad its funny, (it would be more at home in The Real Ghostbusters). It's a waste of potential to not even suggest a dark history that might have made it the way it is. But the most grating thing is how the ending portrays the protagonist as foolishly following a woman who doesn't want him to his inevitable and apparently deserved end. Pardon the poor fool for thinking a woman who was about to marry him and was previously terrified of the hotel that abducted her might possibly be being coerced into saying she was happy to keep him away. Narration was excellent as ever but it can't save a turkey like this
hi guys, Have you considered reading creepypastas? lot's of good stories that at least I find it hard to track down online, no copyright problems (I think)
He also wrote under the pen name Macho Staircase & Virile Escalator.
🤣
Stop it.
😂
LOL! 😂
His other stories were "Death on the Top Floor" and "Handrails of Horror".
"Six FLIGHTS to Terror"? Written by Manly BANISTER?!
The humour is simply next level!
Manly bannister? If I ever Star in adult movies In Great Briton I’ll use that name.
I confess to a similar thought.
Lol
It crossed my mind too.😄
The love interest, "Anne Summers" has a certain, ah, meaning in the UK too...
Gross 🤢🤮😂.
"You're working too hard," said no manager ever. Great story
“On every hand were the signs of neglect and decrepitude, and I seemed haunted by the notion that Warren and I were the first living creatures to invade a lethal silence of centuries….
Keep up the good work and, as always, stay safe Jen and Ian.
She kicked me in my Manly Bannister your honour...
After stealing my bottle of Hankey Bannister 😱
Well, that was a shudder pulp short story of the pure quill.
Thank you for sharing it with us.
A particularly striking and memorable image with today's story.,
I'm late to the party, but imagine what his former coworkers must think.
This was a great a story and extraordinarily well done, yet again.
Thank you.
😱 Reminded me of a horror series on TV in the 70s that had a fish eye street view in the intro sequence...
I"m thinking you mean Night Gallery
Anyone else have to talk along with the "You fool..." every time, like I do? :D
Quality tale. Thanks for reading.
Absolutely outstanding as always looking forward to listening to this tale! many thanks Ian👍
Very good. Excellent as always. Thank you Mr. Gordon and Horror Babble.
Seems like Mr Banister also wrote romance novels. Love this pulpy type of tale, thanks!
I love the BABBLING!
A curious and enjoyable little story.
Great story! Thanks for a wicked good presentation, HB.
First comment?! Woohoo! LOVE your work. Thank you!
Great story👍 Thank you for the narration 🙂❤️
Very well written.
"How do you bury a building?"
In this case...I'd say 100lbs of dynamite should do the trick💥
Cremate it .
A great tale. Thanks for the excellent narration!
Thank you🤗
Listening from the ukwales❤

Which podcast?

Great stuff, keep it up 🔥🔥🔥
Exciting☠️👻☠️ Thanks for a new upload! 👹🫶🏻

Manly Barrister sounds like the British version of Judge Dead!

Anne Summers! There is clearly a deeper and more lurid story here
This reminded of The Damp Man a bit.
Good story and great narration
Haunted by a house? Madness!
Awesome!

Hard to believe it was ever in style to plaster over a four story red-brick home. Didn’t they have aluminum siding? : )
Damn. This was a rough one, even though I could see the ending from a mile away.
🐐
Was Anne a Ghost?
We think he was just off his trolley.
The building would read his mind and follow him!! 😂😂
And his last thought was, “Damn, she ditched me for a…”
Such lovely language 😍
Well, that was different!
We knew a house like this . . .
Is there any way we can get your stories on Spotify but not as podcast episodes, but as regular tracks? I want to be able to add them to playlists
You can make playlists on RUclips
Please do lovecrafts “the very old folk” it’s such a great story that’s just totally slept on...I don’t think a recording of it even exists
Anne Summers ... like Buffy Anne Summers from "Buffy the vampire slayer" show ?😂
Okay guys I’m sorry, can someone explain the mic drop at the end? I followed the story up to the very end, where it seems to have ended in anticlimax. Am I missing something? Ann disappeared into the house, Clem followed, didn’t find her. That’s it?
Was she ever real?????

wtf.
I feel nauseated - that's genuinely scary.

I published one or two in the early days, but generally we're more comfortable with (mostly) the oldies. Ian
Less than 4 minutes in and we hit the word "eldritch". As a rule, any story that uses "eldritch" is garbage. Let's see if this is an exception....
Interesting.
Just looked the word “eldritch” up to figure out what you are going off-line over (?). Just expanded my vocabulary. Interesting. Now, I AM interested.
@@evelanpatton
It's the true name of "Tiger" Woods. (Well, almost.)
