    Clark Ashton Smith is my favorite. His style and content really lends itself to painting or drawing. I look forward to future CAS readings.

    Wow! A classic Mandrake story I didn't know existed. I've always wanted to go root hunting with a consecrated trowel, better go make one.

    Another excellent reading. I've been enjoying a lot of this fantasy/horror stuff lately.

    Excellent stuff. I like the idea of these themed readings. I’d toss out the idea of sci-fi horror as a theme someday. I really enjoyed The Immeasurable Horror.

    Excellent reading as always, but pretty sure it's Sa-bean.

    Is it just me who finds the most weird part of the whole thing the ease with which people in this story regard the use of mind-altering drugs to get their way with the opposite sex?

    Oooo never thought I'd hear another tale featuring averoigne (?) No idea how it spelt

    Hey check "demoniac" pronunciation? Ive heard this in many readings. I'm pretty sure that's a long "i" -and not pronounced like "demoneack". Awesome narration though. Try "demon eye ack"
    demoniac
    [ dih-moh-nee-ak, dee-muh-nahy-ak ]
    Re edit
    Oh apologies..I'm learning both pronunciations are acceptable...I'd only heard (or more likely only read to myself) the latter pronunciation.

    • @HorrorBabble
      @HorrorBabble  4 года назад +1

      The whole pronunciation thing is a minefield, Ryan! Particularly with these oldies...

    • @MsMtheory
      @MsMtheory Год назад

      Indeed.. But I gotta say you do a better job then most..However the women name being French like Giles, I believe its pronounced Sa- been, not Sa-biine, im guessing if its spelled Sabine?

      Maybe some horror fans who enjoy only stories about zombies eating beautiful girls? Gore-lovers?
