Thank you Ian for exposing me to even more of Lovecraft's brilliant works. "corpses of dead worlds with sores that were cities" This line gives me chills, and you read it beautifully.
One of my absolute favorites of lovecrafts, the unreliable narrator who starts out sane and then depicts the utter break down of reality around them without really seeing the whole thing happening and being drawn into the bizarre
@Zachary Haggarty No, 5'3" and 135 lbs. Any other stereotypical questions about my looks, as if they matter...keyboard "warrior"? And...*well not we'll
@Zachary Haggarty Your previous response speaks volumes about how you envisioned my looks, demeanor, etc. "Your" (sic) not "your cat" or "your profile pic" sounded rude in comment etiquette. I suppose we both feel guidance is in order. So I'll just let this go.

Ian. I'm making a request. We need a proper reading of Clark Ashton Smith's "The Hashish Eater". It would be a tremendous undertaking, the length, the vocabulary, taking the time to fully familiarize oneself with the poetic rhythm but if anyone can do it, you can. The world needs it. The Hashish Eater is the greatest thing ever written in the weird fiction genre. You might also consider Smith's "From The Crypts of Memory".
Thanks Aeturnus - would you mind submitting your request via the website? We ask that all requests are made here: www.horrorbabble.com/contact Thanks again! Ian
So far this is my favorite Lovecraft tale I have heard today. Ancient Egypt I have always had great fascination over and the author's references and allusions to it are nothing short of spellbinding-especially merged within his own unique talent for storytelling. The epic harrowing prose literally keeps you on edge!

1:57 "swarthy, slender, and sinister"...just how I like 'em! ;-)

Great how Lovecraft could pack so much detail that the length of the story didn't matter.
@Zachary Haggarty Curious...why did you call me fatty?

@@thejudgmentalcat trolls amirite 🙄
Every time I come back to this story I find that I've forgotten how short it is because it hits like a bomb
This is one of my go to tales when I feel like taking a journey to strange and terrifying places. Preformed to perfection as always, thank you!!
Listen to this channels reading of celephaiis,
Its amazing
Definitely one of my favorite Lovecraft short stories! Really captures the mystical nature of Nyarlathotep!
Eye gouging while giggling hysterically amazing job on this. Of all the great old ones, he scares me most.
By the way, your voice fits so much with the Lovecraft stories.
Moon Door I just love ur name and pic, awesome🌝
It does
yeah, just heard two other recordings of the same story - this is the best hands down
As much as I love being introduced to new authors, I still adore classic Lovecraft. Lovely short little bit of cosmic horror! 👿

Spectacular performance. Thanks for all your hard work!
The scariest story ever told about air conditioning
I don’t understand how this produced the imagery of the big long willy-head thing, although I must admit I do quite like it.
That came out wrong.....
Stellar job on this one ian

Stunning.. Shared on FB malal appreciate you both.. Keep up the awesomeness
This is a great one! Fantastoc narration!
Lovecraft could say so much in a short time. Many authors of that time could; their writing is amazing.
I first heard this a few years ago and loved the creepy nightmarish absurdity of it. Can't wait to hear it with your expert narration.
Now this is quality. Good work!
gonna be so awesome when the man Whom the trees loved pops up in due course😁
That would be awesome. The more Blackwood the better.

Excellent. Up to your usual standard ,Ian.
Entropy personified 😳

King was influenced by Lovecraft wasn’t he?
@@dancegregorydance6933 he said so yeah
I Stand with you
The beginning of this story is accurately describing the current state of culture wars in America.
Nice..
Nyarhwal
There is no God and Nyarlothotep is it's prophet
Nyarlat-HOTEP
How did I not have a Like on this?
Are there two versions up now?
This is the only one!
@@HorrorBabble misclick or aliens from Yuggoth?
It's aliens!
The correct pronunciation would have a "hotep" at the end, as in the Egyptian word. Not "thotep".
