What a great piece of weird fiction - it feels less like Derleth in its arc and conclusion- it is not formulaic, no narrator sent into pyroxisims of madness at the climax, driven by some predictable, unnameable horror. It is, rather, more contemplative, along the lines of Hawthorne's or James' darker stories (which is high praise- even if the writing itself doesn't rise to such rarefied levels, the theme, plot, and resolution do approach such masters. IMHO anyway.) Basically, I found it to be a refreshing change from the obvious to the subtle.
"Wow" is entirely inadequate, but it's the word I breathed at the end. I've never heard of Wakefield before, so I thank you for introducing his work to me. What a writer! What a story!
Comment posted for "engagement" and to please "he who shall not be named" Glad to have a new audiobook reading to go along with the new members only Dagon re-recording. 👍🏽 7 thumbs up.
I love the moths attacking his face constantly. I could listen to a whole story just on that. Like Leiningin Versus The Ants but tame; Mr Horrocks Versus the Moths.
I have a "H R Wakefield" radar & it just went off. Thank you HorrorBabble for making my day- I love this story
Great day to stay in as the temps outside are headed up so I'm listening to Horrorbabble inside today. 💀
Yep, it's 103°F and climbing in Phoenix 😅
🥶 You can have some of my weird temps, yesterday it was 10-12c in the summer, today its 20-25c O_o
It's been so cold in the UK people have been putting the heating on! 12/13 C yesterday @@LazyLifeIFreak
This has almost an M. R. James quality. Suspenseful and absorbing, aided by an excellent delivery by the estimable Mr. Gordon.
I agree. I like the pacing, the composure of the characters.

Many thanks Good Sir!
Excellent story. Brilliant reading as always!
This story is wonderful, and your narration is fine, indeed!!
First time that I have encountered this short story since I read it in an anthology at school.
I love this series.
Awesome tale, well told as always. a new author to me so thank you for the introduction.
I’m particularly enjoying the Rue Morgue intros ❤ makes my life that tiny bit less stressful 😂
This was an excellent story tonight. Those moths were a bit unnerving. Great narration. Thank you ❤️🤗🌟
Great timing! I just my new Bowers & Wilkins headphones today, how better to break them in than with HorrorBabble!😎👻🥰
Thanks

This was perfect for me! I offer sincere thanks.
I live creepy artifacts so long as they ain’t in MY home.

You fool!
Warren is dead, mobbed by malignant moths.
Kudos to the narrator and author 🎉🎉🎉
GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR PEOPLE. THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU DO 💎
Perfection❤❤😊
I remember looking up Eblis in a dictionary of religion at school. Eblis, according to the dictionary, is the Islamic version of Old Nick.
“How they stank!” 😹 Not stunk…. Fetid is one of my favorite new words. For instance, “fetid meta⚡️” Super stanky. 💚🐝🐝
I miss the old music
I am a hardcore babbler.
❤🔥
How’s Warren doing?
Those moths . . .
❤😊
Thanks
Thanks, Nina!
