The music at the beginning is awesome! I love it! Another good story from William Hope Hodgson. Great narration. Thanks! I do love these nautical yarns! A reader or listener, not to mention a mariner, can tell Mr. Hodgson spent his fair share of time at sea. The superstions we mariners have seethes out of the characters.
My husband Ric, a most sensible, levelheaded gent has traveled worldwide. He spent years in the merchant marine. And he relished the quiet time: the late 'dogwatch' (midnight to 4 a.m).... up on deck, utterly alone. Modern ships nowadays are so safe and pretty much everything is mechanized, or digital. Nevertheless.... when out there on the vast ocean, with...nothing around you but the dark, the stars and the water......your mind DOES get to working...what...if...
This was top class. Very well-written and suspenseful; nothing like the desert of the open sea to provide a canvas for one’s darkest imaginings-and nothing like the vast unknownness of her depths to cough forth the most improbable entities and anomalous phenomena, natural...or otherwise. The trope of the undersea earthquake causing an upheaval of ¿godknowswhat ALWAYS draws me in, as it’s such realism! Earthquakes and tsunami heave up the most wondrously grotesque oddities in their aftermath .
Is there a longer version from horribable of this story? The pace and length feels too quick and short. I appreciate and enjoy what you've posted., it seems to end before I'm ready👍
Hodgson was a significant inspiration on Lovecraft. Particularly "The Night Land" and "House on the Borderlands". However, HPL started writing his Cthulu mythos many years before he found Hodgson's works. So they both were original in their own way.

I was a big fan of Hodgson's The House on the Borderland. Really am enjoying his sea stories as well. Thank you for recording and posting this story.
Hodgson has some darn fine stories!
This is just the kind of story genre, especially on or near the water that intrigues me. Most excellent story and well read.
The music at the beginning is awesome! I love it!
Another good story from William Hope Hodgson. Great narration. Thanks!

Outstanding, like all of WHH's work. This guy could really spin a yarn....
You’ve got a good pulp channel too!
Thank you.
Scary-as-shit cool!This narrator almost sounds like Boris karloff! INTERESTING!!!☻🖤☠💀🦇⚰👻🕷🕸
I'm sure the crew have seen the last of the vast ocean and what it harvest great narration on your part I felt the tension until the last word
Top notch stuff. Sea battle against creatures? ..oh yeah!!

Love me some WH Hodgson
Awesome!! Thank you very much!!
Hodgson’s nautical tales do remind me a lot of Conrad, “Youth” in particular.
Love this guy house in the borderland was awesome
HorrorBabble produces, I consume.
Great story.
That was enjoyable.
Nice Video once again!!!!!!!!!
Good one
"99 degrees? Why that's hot enough to make tea with!" How very British 😅
Is there a longer version from horribable of this story? The pace and length feels too quick and short.

Pretty sure Hodgson only wrote this one version of the story, Ella.
Narrator sounds like Alex from "clockwork Orange"Malcolm McDowell.

When deep ones have a penchant for piracy...
Smith get a solid B for story, but about a C- for these wannabe Lovecraft creatures. Great reading as usual, Ian.
All of Hodgson's work predates Lovecraft, since Hodgson was sadly killed in action during WW1.
Hodgson was a significant inspiration on Lovecraft. Particularly "The Night Land" and "House on the Borderlands". However, HPL started writing his Cthulu mythos many years before he found Hodgson's works. So they both were original in their own way.
It's hard to feel tense when you keep saying poop.
poop.
Brrrr! Quite a spooky one, that
