Can't wait for Damp Man 4: Even Damper
This is my first horrorbabble I have listened to. Not even finished yet but I definitely will. I am sincerely impressed and I plan to support the kind person who is committing time and energy and asking for nothing to willingly support them anyway. Thank you!
Thank you for joining us!
@@HorrorBabble My pleasure!
This is quickly becoming one of my favorite channels. I have consumed more horror books in the last month than I likely have in my life. Started with The Cthulhu Mythos(which was A+ quality) and now I listen to something from this channel every night when I am winding down. Love the volume of content as well.
Good job five star
Thanks, Vinnie!
Get on to Abominations of Yondo and Vaults of Yoh Vombis
Lovecraft emulated Clark Ashton Smith. On a good day he's the better writer of phantasmagoria.
The drawing of the Damp Man is fantastic! Exactly right. 👌
Wow a nice long one. This is going to go great with some remnant 2 tonight. Thank you so much!
I would never have known about this trilogy without you.😊 Never heard anything like it. Its a classic.
Simply the best reading!
Thanks as always!
Loved this story man thanks again for it
This was absolutely amazing! Such an original idea, which satisfies lovers of both horror and scifi. The hypnotic narration makes it impossible to stop listening throughout the wild ride. 💜
Glad you enjoyed this one, and great to hear from you!
@@HorrorBabbleThanks! Glad to be back 💜
It was hypnotic, wasn't it.
That has to be the most plastic reply ever
@@MrBunghole666 That has to be the most juvenile non creative user name ever.
Wow! Another solid banger! So much suspense! Now, I can finally fall asleep since I just listened the entire time.
Wow, Allison V. Harding really is a quality writer, this channel really is a great resource. Thanks!
I really enjoyed listening to this tale! The voice certainly added to the experience!
Excellent as always many thanks again Ian!😎
4 whole hours of horrorbabble? Don't mind if I do.
Careful it's a little moist....
@@lild6216 damp, if you will
@@fableshearth2457.... 😮😅😅🎉🎉😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
I have listened to these individually on your channel. They are good. Thank you for combining them together.
AVH was quite the writer!
Thanks
The best road trip companion.
Perfect! It is going to last enough for tonight.
‘…Hostile late night pursuits and late night experiments gone wrong…’ Sounds like my career at Uni. 20 years on, I miss those days terribly. Though It would’ve been even better if I’d had HorrorBabble back in those days. Your Lovecraft readings would’ve been brilliant listening as I was coming down off the LSD.
Thank you, by the way, for introducing me to these tales. I’ve never heard of them until your narration, and they’re marvellously peculiar.
Ya hadda do it, din'tcha? Ya hadda put these on here again! And you knew I hadda listen to 'em again!
Seriously though, the Damp Man scares the liver out of me for some reason, but the stories are so good and you tell them so well that I just have to listen to them again. Oh, well, I didn't need to sleep tonight anyway!
Well, I'm not planning on doing any work tomorrow anyway. So I might as well have an excuse.
Unrelated to this reading. A few years ago I was listening to a story here about a man who stays in a strange town where the residents act like cats. It was an eerie tale for sure. If anyone can help id really like to finish it
Sounds like Ancient Sorceries by Algernon Blackwood
@@TheJakofClubs that was it!! Thank you very much it's greatly appreciated
Check the Blackwood author list there is another called... Strange Devotion? That has a similar feel but sadly less cats. Think it's another John Silence story.
@TheJakofClubs you're a good person.
The ending really got me. Well done.
Brilliant telling of a fantastic tale
Loved your voice on this . Fantastic story , with the unrelenting damp man's pursuit of the couple , very funny in parts too. And of course the ending ...well!
Highly recommend this excellent story, told superbly.😊
Gonna fall asleep to this :)
You and your staff are legends, thank you❤
I always appreciate the thought that Jen & I have 'staff'!
HorrorBaby provided sound effects at one point didn't they?
Family business :)
Thanks again.
What a fantastic trilogy!
45:00 in and this story is much better than I thought it would be. I have been avoiding these stories for no other reason than I find the title and art work "off-putting ?" . I love a good Noir story.
Clicked on this because the thumbnail art looks remarkably like the work of an artist I like. Great story! I'm a sucker for sinister and unsettling humanoids or mutant humans in speculative fiction. Brilliant ending. Absolutely did not expect that.
10/10 on the Moist Meter.
Thank you for listening!
A tiny suggestion to anyone writing their own story. People don't actually get 'knocked out' for more than a couple moments. To add some realism, a normal human who gets punched that hard would start audibly snoring, and yes I know how funny that sounds but trust me, it's very real.
Other than this tiny, very insignificant nitpick, it's a great story.
You seem to have experience knocking people out. For myself, I find that the biggest problem in this endeavor is when you try for that extra minute of unconsciousness and you end up giving them a fractured skull or worse. 💀
I hate it when that happens.
Tee hee!@@rightcheer5096
How did I miss this notification. Looking forward to this now!
Great story 🎉, thank you so much,so unusual, thanks again 🌷
Thank you for listening!
What a great listen!
A particularly effective and well told tale.
Thanks
SPOILER ALERT for anyone who hasnt listened to this yet. Please please could someone enlighten me regarding the ending. When George deliberately cut himself at the end did he bleed or was he changed into a damp man himself. I wasnt sure. It felt ambiguous but maybe its meant to be ...
This was very good! Well read of course as always but I've never heard of her and listened to the whole thing while working. Now I'm going to go find some more of hers I'll bet you've no doubt already recorded!
Here's a link to the Allison V. Harding playlist: ruclips.net/p/PLeNNKRLWxwoOGO6cj4Z09UmWs36HhkuIm
Part 2 surprise. Great stuff.
That was incredible!!!
No glasses on- thought this was a Jelly Roll video for a minute... Love a good story so still happy.
I love this channel so much. I’ve been listening to a reading almost every day for the past few months. Just curious - does anyone know of a channel like this for sci-fi/fantasy shorts?
We've considered a separate sci-fi/fantasy channel, though sometimes we record sci-fi stories over here:

Maybe if he spent as much energy dazzling up his stories as he exhausts while monologuing, he'd be a press secretary by now.
summoning energy from my youngness and woman strength
really enjoyed this one
Really superbly horrific. As well as your voice acting, there's something to the villain. His otherworldly powers are far less an issue than his more commonplace incel entitlement!
The stories and your dramatisation deserve way more recognition.
First timer ❤
Welcome!
Interesting. As is the author. Quite a detective story finding out who she really was!
This is legit a rip off of Mary Shelly's Frankenstein but with an incel theme. You narrated it well and I am pleased you have a recording for Frankenstein.
Where are you reading an incel theme here exactly lol
Nevermind, I get what you mean now. Really it's more 'women writing men' imo, but yeah. I get your point
I really appreciate that you have this channel, and it is so popular…your voice is hypnotic, almost erotic as you tell these tales. What a wonderful gift you have, the gift of storytelling!!! 🙌
Thank you! Quite an interesting way of putting it...
1:12:32 I really liked the beginning, but by this point the story is starting to lose me: He has kicked in the head and made unconscious a prone man, after stating he was looking for her, and now he has forcibly kidnapped and detained a complete stranger, in her bathing suit from a pool, against her will. Anyone with any sense would already have left a paper trail at the local Police. Sure, it's the late 1940s, but my suspension of disbelief is getting stretched thin.
My thoughts exactly, none of the cops think to ask her whats going on?
There are several issues with the trilogy, but we just can't help loving it.
He should have shattered Remsdorf to bits in the Canadian park.
But, that would have ended the story...
Yeaaa I was thinking the same o,o where's a shovel when you need one? But you are right. Then the story would end
You would think if she made the police report and not George, maybe the police wouldnt have been so dismissive. Who would believe such a beautiful girl was engaged to a behemoth of a "man" like Lothor? No matter how much money a man has, you cant dismiss utter disgust and fear. 😊
*DAMP*

These are my favorite HorrorBabble stories. But where did you find that wonderful thumbnail painting?
It was produced when we recorded the first story, but we wanted to the use the original Weird Tales images for the individual tales.
@HorrorBabble it's an amazing thumbnail. At first I thought it was Kim Jong Un
Cracking a six pack and getting damp as hell while doing some chores.
1:07:07 marking my place
everytime i fart ihave to check my shorts for i fear i have become the damp man
She didn't really leave the ending there did she?
😮
Warren, you fool! He started at midnight. He's asleep!
Bookmark 1:04:21
cool story creepy antagonist.
Is damp man moist critical's wetter brother?
I had to look that one up!
So how did the damp man died?
He didn't die he's hiding in your closet waiting for you to go to bed
🙃
How you doing Mr Gordon?
I'm good thanks! And you?
@@HorrorBabble doing great just working daily at the hospital where I'm from

Like number 667. I had to push the 666.
Well done. You've saved the Earth yet again.
Again?!?! Wow. I AM a gyro.@@VersusArdua
George was Jello because he wasn't aloud in the Pool n Beat all the Females.
So swim coach got her kidnapped on purpose???
Might you have based the Damp Man's voice on a slowed-down recording of John Wayne? Wonderfully creepy effect, anyway!
I hadn't thought of it like that...!
Who the fuck is Warren man!
Ig The Moist Lad didn't sound as scary
Ah. Moist!
EXTREMELY.
@@HorrorBabble 😄
The damp woman title would of attracted some funny comments. 🇬🇧 😁
Airsoftfatty thumbnail? 😆
George shouldnt be in this story.
