Hey, Ian! I wanted to say that I'm so happy my partner introduced me to you. Thanks to you, I've started to write my own weird fiction and I hope to share them one day! Thank you for your amazing narrations.
A fabulous recording of a great tale. Ian and Co, you have helped me through six months of sickness by giving me a 'place' to go when I needed to avoid reality. Much recovered now but recommended your recordings to others in similar situation. THANK YOU.
So happy you dug these gems out of obscurity. I think I speak for a lot of people when I say I always love the longer mythos stories. Excellent readings as always.
Please could we have a reading of "The Horror from the Hills" by Frank Belknap Long? We all need more Chaugnar Faughn in our lives in times like these.

This story is amazing. I read it years ago and loved it, and listened to it today and love it even more! This is such a good yarn. I listened to it two times. Thanks, Ian. It's an excellent story that truly belongs on the bookshelf! Another poor forlorn sailor as a character in a Mythos story. Who could have guessed!
52:45 “There was a strange… jadelike pallor under Cassandra’s skin…” Just wanted to call out this line, I love the diction, strikes me as deliciously creepy (even without context). Ty for bringing some of these stories to light!
Just in time for bed. I will definitely be having an early night with a cup of tea and several bourbons, and as always thanks to everyone involved for your tireless work and Happy Halloween 🎃 😨👻 and Happy Birthday 🎂 Rue Morgue.
I’m glad the author didn’t end this earlier. I like how it started in the middle and goes back. I feel like most authors would have ended this halfway through.
Yeah, I thought that right at the end. Lovecraft would have stopped it at the moment the character’s recount ended. With like just a line or two. This guy aired it out there at the end and I liked it.
You wouldn't think that Lovecraft and love story would go hand in hand and yet from all those those obscure Cthulhu stories, this one was definitely the best one - not only because it was scary but because it was tragic; a sad tale about love that could never be! You should publish this on Valentine's day!
my gosh!! 25 years! many covgrats! But you’re going to run out of stories, except for your own. :). the interview of a the hairy man who sucks out people’s lives, was soo great. So please do write more plays. thanks :) 🎭🌹🌱
Horrorbabble, Always enjoy the splendid narrations of these stories. I can literally visualize the characters in my mind as the story is being told, such talent is a rare commodity these days 👍👍
This was a brilliant epic story tonight. An excellent job on the narration. I love the visual. It was just perfect for the last episode. Thank you so much. Have a wonderful day 🥰💖🤗🌟
\|/ This was an unknown tale to mè..me... That's difficult to find for me these days... I've always appreciated this channels' creators greatly, both for their raw narration talents and for the absolutely incredible material they find to present to us for our enjoyment. Yet another excellent one, Horrorbable, thank y'all, and again, great work!
Got my kitten to finally settle down, story time at last! It's just a baby, it has the most adorable little wiggly tentacles, I think my kitty wants to play!
An interesting fusion of the lore behind Lovecraft's "Dagon" and "The Shadow Over Innsmouth." Reminds me somewhat of the plot of the Lovecraft inspired Spanish horror film "Dagon," I wonder if the writers were familiar with this piece.
I still hope you do the 5 tales know as "The Trail of Cthulhu" the first story is called "The House on Curwenstreet" and it ends with "The Black Island". All stories are about professor Leban Shrewsbury or he figures in them. It's perfect for one of your collections of stories.
@@HorrorBabble I really hope so, I don't understand why nightshade's channel could read them and posted them online. But listening is made impossible by the ridiculous amount of advertising. I thought, if she can so can you. Maybe she slipped through the net, I don't know. In the French language it is available too. But my French isn't good enough to enjoy the stories. I hope you will succeed in putting out the tales. As always, all the best from Holland.
Would you consider a reading of William Sloane's works? He is one of the more unique voices in Cosmic horror and has only written two short novels. Thanks for the amazing content and have a good day.
Slowly over the course of humanities future AI shifts all art to stimulate man's imagination as it, I. Turn foments this lovecraftian swelling of horror. A closed loop that is so slow and massive that we don't notice it is a death spiral. Until we are all colle timely staring into the maw and love it I. All the madness.

I fell asleep listening to this one, and started dreaming about it. That was fun.
Just the right amount of reeking effluvia for a rainy, foggy evening in Nova Scotia!
Really hope they'll be another mythos collection.. enjoyed all 5
Me too

These long narrations are some of the absolute best content on RUclips,
It’s insane that your content is free for many of us, thank you!
So happy you dug these gems out of obscurity. I think I speak for a lot of people when I say I always love the longer mythos stories. Excellent readings as always.
Yay! Just the thing, for a dark autumn evening!
Let's dive into the depths with mighty Cthulhu...

My man, I just had to sub to your channel... I checked it out, and it has some really sweet stuff... sincerely. Nice!
What a great collection! I’m particularly enchanted by this instalment. Great job HB Team!
It is a masterpiece. I have listened to it three times. And your voice, Ian, is the most suitable for reading this artwork.
Please could we have a reading of "The Horror from the Hills" by Frank Belknap Long? We all need more Chaugnar Faughn in our lives in times like these.
I don't know what that is but I second anything by Frank Belknap Long.

Just got 🏡 from the first day of a new job to see this so thank you Ian, Jen, horrorbabble, and rue morgue for all the entertainment over the years!
Me too
Fantastic work Ian and team! I have finally got a minute between writing to check these out. And the artwork as always is killer.

2 hours!? Off to bed for me. Thanks HorrorBabble!
She really did love him, could not help what she was born into. He loved her, their sacrifice saved us all.

Yaaaay! Thank you, was so excited for this today!
seems you saved the best story of series for last, fantastic - thanks Ian
Wonderfully narrated, thanks HB.

Great tales as always, old friend. I must have logged over 1000 hours of your channel over the years. When the next Van Melsen Tale?
We've been running a 6-part VM series on the Originals Podcast -- it's scheduled for RUclips on Monday (Halloween!)

Excellent story, and spot on narration. Thank you for the wonderful performance!
A simply superb performance! This was one of the most compelling tales since The Mound!
This was a brilliant epic story tonight. An excellent job on the narration. I love the visual. It was just perfect for the last episode. Thank you so much. Have a wonderful day 🥰💖🤗🌟
This has been one of my favorites since I first read it years ago. Thanks Ian for reading this for us.
I do love stories with strong positive messages: when at first you don't succeed, try again!
Yeahhhhh looking forward to this Thank you HB for doing these videos. Brilliant 😊😊
Can you please make a website where you collect together all these thumbs? I think the artwork is just fantastic.

Brilliant series - great story to end on - thank you so much.
That looks like a wonderful Midjourney image. Perfect for this story! Fun…
Got my kitten to finally settle down, story time at last!
It's just a baby, it has the most adorable little wiggly tentacles, I think my kitty wants to play!
Cute.
Now I will have to see if this author has any story collections in print! Great story!
An interesting fusion of the lore behind Lovecraft's "Dagon" and "The Shadow Over Innsmouth." Reminds me somewhat of the plot of the Lovecraft inspired Spanish horror film "Dagon," I wonder if the writers were familiar with this piece.
I need to watch that movie. I just remember seeing the young lady with long red hair and tentacles for legs and thinking "I can fix her"
This is a really amazing story. The sympathetic portrayal of the Cassandra character is unusual-but proper!
You fool, Warren has gone away!
The Sea is always right.
Kudos
Basically Shadow Over Innsmouth meets At the Mountains of Madness meets The Thing On the Doorstep. A bit of a pastiche, but pretty well written.
I still hope you do the 5 tales know as "The Trail of Cthulhu" the first story is called "The House on Curwenstreet" and it ends with "The Black Island". All stories are about professor Leban Shrewsbury or he figures in them. It's perfect for one of your collections of stories.
We're still up against the August Derleth issue -- the stories aren't public domain. Perhaps we'll acquire permission eventually though.

This is going to be another great night.
How did I miss this one. "An accursed house, a soul that is no longer one's own, and a boundless doom that comes from the sea" What is not to like.
Very much so enjoyed this story.
Very good stuff thank you team love to listen while doing nightshift.
This has been an amazing run.
Thank you so much!
Gonna save this one for work!
Excellent tale

Only a third of the way through the story, but so far it's fantastic.
👍 great story
Anyone who's read Lovecraft will have seen where this was going almost from the very start, but a decent enough tale anyway.
Thanks
I've not tried the green abyss yet. My last abyss was the beige one. Pretty bland tbh
Mine was mauve-kinda tacky
Pool of Radiance + Color out of Space = the Green Abyss... LoL.

Off tangent but you are invisible to me these days, virtually never showing on my feed. I need to actively search to find your content.
That’s annoying!
A classic!
How much research does it take you to find stories like this?
It varies really. The main issue is determining copyright status -- and even then we're not always 100%!
