    The vivid way in which Hodgson describes the mold's texture, sounds, and movement, couple with the way you read this marvelous tale, absolutely gave me the creeps. Once again, another story well done and admirably narrated.

      WHH was a sailor in real life and suffered from a phobia of fungal infections. I,m surprised he could bring himself to write this..When he describes the pigs and the conditions they were kept in, in this and other stories l wonder if he was a swinophobe too. Pigs get an all round bad press from him as in The Hog and The House on the Borderland.

      @@davidwhite7294 Super cool to hear this bit of history about WHH. As a sailor onboard MCM's from 2010-2014, and those being one of the few wooden ships still in commission, we had a few Black Mold scares, and were even taught about how many sailors died before proper ventilation was a thing. We even used to keep a few box fans running in the berthing, just for good measure.

      @@T1ddlywinks l think his sea stories are among the most scary because of his experiences. Bad things happened to sailors back in the day and WHH was no exception. He was a pretty-boy and you can imagine the sort of attention that would have drawn ……He is in fact a fascinating and unique character in the literary world. Worth a Google to read about his life.

      @@T1ddlywinks ER, MAYBE YOU CAN HELP EXPLAIN A COUPLE OF THINGS ABOUT THIS STORY (or maybe there simply isn't enough information to clear up these things?)
      Firstly: I found this a powerfully "immediate" story experience, in that WHH takes us into the story through the use of sounds, tactile sensations, vivid visuals and tangible scents in every conceivable way a writer's tools allow...and almost beyond those ! BUT, getting oriented to the physical action is a little tricky for me: it's been a few years since I've worked on big ship models for films, so some of my terminology needs refreshing (which I plan to do). The thing I can't quite put together, perhaps a sailor can: I wasn't able to picture the angles the derelict vessel was oriented in re: north/south etc (seems to me we (the launch crew and readers) are approaching the ship's starboard side whilst moving westward). Am I mistaken in thinking the derelict is likely pointing to the east, maybe slightly north-east?
      Also, more importantly to understanding the physical "what's what" of the boarding: I couldn't quite picture where their launch pulled up alongside the derelict and let the party climb aboard that fungoid-infested ship, even after listening to that part a couple of times. The derelict must've been lying low in the water for the sailors to be able to so easily scramble aboard, since i didn't note (or just didn't understand) how they got themselves up onto the derelict's deck.
      THIS IS PROBABLY ASKING A LOT, BUT ANY THOUGHTS ON THESE THINGS WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED (or am I the only one too dumb to understand these things?). Seems to me an understanding of the lay-out and orientation of things plays such a huge part in this (great) narrative that clarity is necessary in order to fully enjoy it.

      Spoiler alert! Agreed. Speechless really. When their boat was stuck in the muck trying to get away from the derelict ship I hadn't realized I was holding my breath until finally they escaped & I exhaled! I think I was turning blue! Great story! Great read! Truly amazing! So I rewound to hear the story again! Twice! I've never done that. Story (& voice, narration) really gave me a punch to my stomach! The suspense! Incredible. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    WHH is an extremely underrated author, and his stories should be listed up there alongside H.P. Lovecraft's famous work. This theme in particular, an organic growth overtaking an artificial structure is appearing in various Sci-Fi settings, I was much surprised to find it in an old-school nautical story when I first read it. Anyway, great job reading it!

    I don't think it has anything to do with it that I was a sailor but maybe that's just it...
    because of all "realistic"-ish, ie. non-Lovecraftian "unknowable" horrors in horror stories, something about _this_ particular horror just seems most especially horrific... I don't think I could imagine something worse.
    Like I think of that famous Lighthouse one, derelict shift drifting, crashing with millions of starving rats... got _nothing_ on this.

      I just want to tell you directly that your ability to feel and express the English language is absolutely BRILLIANT in the making of these audio drama/horror vignettes. You do yourself as well as the language credit, sir. I look forward to more offerings of such high caliber in the future.
      Again, thank you most sincerely.

    Ian, do any of the stories you narrate from, say, early magazines like THE RED MAGAZINE come with illustrations?---illustrations that might be worth featuring as your video's visual representation?

    • @HorrorBabble
      @HorrorBabble  2 года назад +1

      Very few do -- and the ones we have access to are usually very poor quality. We do include them when we can, though. A recent example is The Snowman: ruclips.net/video/i7wgmyB4ZpA/видео.html

      @@HorrorBabble Thanks. I kind of figured that might be the case. I have a number of the old WEIRD TALES magazines, and the artwork at least in the oldest ones, is generally pretty "meh", in spite of some beautiful covers.
      Thanks again for the great work, as always. I hope to support it in the future, but a few medical issues are taking precedence/have been for a couple of years. Due to vision problems, I've found great relief in having audio sources to turn to in the last years, especially yours. But even if they are able to correct the vision loss (?) I will still listen to your latest.

      Thanks again for listening. And all the best with the vision loss correction.
