This is such a perfect example of why I love Lovecraft. He never wastes a final sentence. You always think the story is over, and the twist revealed, but he piles horror upon horror in a way you'd never expect. Bravo Lovecraft, and Bravo Ian! 👏
Been listening for quite sometime, and don't usually comment but I feel this particular channel has some seriously special quality to it. Ian the narrator, does almost always a brilliant job in the construction and reading of these stories, and I genuinely think this channel deserves to flourish and I wish all the best to Ian. Thank you very much for all the readings, they hold an important place for me, of which I can truly submerge my mind into a 20 minute or 60 minute reading and translate them into image and imagination in my own mind. And to develop a relationship like that with a story, to be able to cultivate a depth to them within yourself is sincerely valuable. And with Ian's readings, they allow that evermoreso.
That final monologue from the doctor couldn't have been delivered better. He matched the panic and dread that was conveyed through the writing itself, and the conviction of the doctor as he chided the undertaker being performed just the way it must've sounded in Lovecraft's head!
I loved it! Any stories that incorporate cemetery, oblong boxes, and Ian's voice are but a treat. I really like H.P. Lovecraft... your voice acting is great, just like a pro! Thanks Ian for bringing us another amazing reading 👍
I've always thought of this story as being inspired by EAPs 'The Premature Burial', had a similar feel to me. Last night I found myself waking up in the wee hours and had the pleasure of listening to it at 'That Time of Night' which was very nice. Thanks again Ian.
i've heard this a number of times, with a number of different voiceovers, and yours is the best. i've always said, though lovecraft wrote his stories set in new england, a british voice works best.
"In the Vault" is a short story by American horror fiction writer H. P. Lovecraft, written on September 18, 1925 and first published in the November 1925 issue of the amateur press journal Tryout.

Dont cut the piano intro short ian! The voicing of the intro sounds like this, "do you want to explore the depths of the darkness?....well come then.....if you dare", and when you cut it a few bars short i feel like im being invited but not given a chanxe to say yes, does that make sense? Super awesome reading as always!
Sometimes you need to be thrown in at the deep end...! ;) But seriously, the music over the HB title is separate to the piano introduction that usually follows. Ian
HorrorBabble I see, makes sense, well you do good work either way sir! Good to have more options if you need them I suppose, and your right, sometimes we need to go from 0 to 100 in a split second, because sometimes that's how terror works!
@@HorrorBabble I must admit dear brother...I wish you had coined the phrase "You haven't found the darkness, Traveler, the darkness has found YOU!"...that makes less spirited folk go home and shower and change clothes😃
Funny thing is, when I first read this story I found it more darkly comedic than really horrifying. In fact I still do. Drunken undertaker who gets locked in a tomb, and a body with feet cut off to fit a too small coffin, those both sound more like morbid jokes than stuff of nightmares.
Love this story.I first read it in 7th grade.I had to do a report on a short story and chose this one.My teacher loved it but still thoughy I might be a little off.It was a great year.Thank you.
I have a paperback HP love craft book full of short stories. I’ve had since I was a teenager. This is the one story I’ve always remembered. Did they ever make a short movie from this story?
There are a couple of HPL stories I have rarely come across since a collection I checked out of the library when I was 10 or 11... (and yeah scared me SILLY) One involves Miners on Venus, and then there's one about a man digging his way out of a prison/dungeon. I hope that's enough to figure out what stories. I can't recall the titles and should hit Google to see what turns up.
Loved the reading and story. Little bit of dark humour thrown in 😱😂 *** spoiler *** spoiler *** Just as well it was the undertakers feet the went through the coffin lid and not his backside 😁😂😂
Why is it that I have the strange feeling that the word OOOOPS😃just doesn't convey the level of oversight applied here? One did not think in times past..."You know what...one day something might happen and I might get locked in and REALLY need to get the hell up out this mudderphucker all by my damn self😃😃a FOOLPROOF method must be devised😃😃" Hell he was used to the environs...food, water, lanterns, shotgun, dynamite😃wait...that's a bit much...but still.... Oh...BTW...PLEASE...for the Love of all that's holy, remove my right ankle when I die. I do not want the screaming fragile paining thing following me into the next world. I won't come back to haunt you...after all...its not like ankle amputation post mortem is an ugly divorce is it😃😃 Well done Sir Ian.

Bravo Lovecraft, and Bravo Ian! 👏
Great story and narration!
This is a true classic.
Thanks!
One of the few Lovecraft stories I've only read once, and years ago at that. Hearing it practically seems like the first time. Thank you, Ian.
Thanks Ian! A crappy day with a great night thanks to your awesome narrating powers!
"I’ve seen sights before, but there was one thing too much here." Gets me every time, too much horror😟. Good work man👍
Ian simply has the perfect voice, and diction, for reading Lovecraft!
Excellent story and narration. To be stored in the “favorites“ playlist.

Ian Gordon is the best in the business when it comes to RUclips narrators. So much immersion in that voice of his!

Great reading. Love the ending.
Awesome, thank you very much!! A brilliant tale wonderfully told

Love it - thanks Pat!
Wow. Great narration. Thanks Ian.
A minor tale, but one with a peculiar attraction to me, possibly because it was one of the very last HPL stories I had yet to read.
Wow, what a creepy story and an exceptional reading! Great job.
i've heard this a number of times, with a number of different voiceovers, and yours is the best. i've always said, though lovecraft wrote his stories set in new england, a british voice works best.

Moral of the story, use caution when undertaking a task that involves a stiff upper lip, lest you bite off more than you can chew...😋
The Crypt Keeper would be proud of you
That is good!!

They would actually do that back in the day to save money. Too tall for your coffin? Off comes the feet.
A chilling story, Ian. Thank you.

Your voice lures me to sleep, yet your subject matter demands my attention. An interesting duality.
Damn!!! That ending!
Thank you again. Always ❤️🎩🌹🙏🏽 is there a note of a background, it is almost so subtle that i had to forget it. Comes and gos with splicing.
Thanks John! There is some background ambience - but it's lower in the mix than it used to be.
❤😂🎉😊🎉❤
I love how it sounds like no one else can
Great last line on this one, jeez 😨

I can't even imagine what that looks like...! Ha. Ian

I think one is "In the Walls of Eryx" the other is NOT "imprisoned with the Pharoahs" or "The Outsider"
Loved the reading and story. Little bit of dark humour thrown in 😱😂

Just as well it was the undertakers feet the went through the coffin lid and not his backside 😁😂😂

A previous commentor suggested this "The Vicar of R'lyeh"by Marc Laidlaw.
His works aren't in the public domain unfortunately!
#credditdishjoeytrashhopper2023
what is the theme of the story
Strange to hear a straight ghost story from HPL...
What's an "amateur press journal"?
