You know I would happily listen to more interconnections between authors. We have the individual stories for clean reads and the glory of this is getting all an author's mythos stories in the one place and seeing how they build on each other. Can't wait for part 2! Thankyou.

Thank you team HorrorBabble Best and kindest regards, Solo - Sweden
Lovecraft was a visionary and pioneer. The great thing about his work is that his ideas had so much potential for development, and these great writers have done exactly that
Thank you Ian for giving us the ultimate collection of The Mythos. Thank you again Ian, Jennifer and all at Horrorbabble for always giving us the best storytelling. 💀
“At one time he threatened to abandon the expedition if I remained insistent; a threat which proved effective, since he alone held the key to the *thing* ..” Keep up the good work and, as always, stay safe!
Help me..I have become Addicted to your voice.. Using HPL and his cabal of conspirators was the Master Stroke! Thank You again for All your hard work! It is Greatly Appreciated!
I've met people who never heard of lovecraft and those who never read any of his works based on the character of the man. I'd argue his works should be appreciated. They created iconic stories and inspired many others for their works. My first intro into this type of horror was Bloodborne, which made me seek out Lovecraftian works.
Lots of people think if Lovecraft had been born 100 years later he would now be too if every bestseller list. He wasn’t recognised during his lifetime but that was because he had created something new , always takes time for new ideas to bed in . Personally I don’t think he could exist in any other time but his own The language and feeling of his stories fit perfectly into the time he wrote , just wouldn’t fit into today’s society ( how many people today have a black cat called NiggerMan ? ). They have tried “ updating “ a few of Lovecraft’s works and they just don’t work. Lovecraft Country the series was garbage ( could have been brilliant if they hadn’t tried to woke it up ) , the same as the movie of The Colour out of Space. Tried to modernise it but it just stripped the actual horror and mystery from the tale. Much as I like Nic Cage he just wasn’t the actor. People forget when these stories were written. Views on several topics were very different over 100 years ago in America 🇺🇸
Yeah. People don’t have to have read his work to re-use all the (by now) over-used tropes created by people who have read Lovecraft. This is why i roll my eyes whenever a mass-market franchise like a superhero franchise makes direct references. Or when Cthulhu is shown at the end of a movie, even if not name-checked. It’s such an interesting ‘pantheon’ of evil, yet 99% of media creators seem to only use the same three tropes (the necronomicon, opening a gate, Cthulhu himself). But big surprise, an idea ‘in fashion’ is beat to death by Hollywood, comic books, etc. This is why i’m so happy that Horrorbable has been doing these great compilations of contemporary Lovecraftian fiction, they’re clearly written by people who love the genre and have read it widely. Not just people who ‘basically know who Cthulhu is’ and include it in their work because it’s cool to do that right now. Incidentally this same phenomenon is one reason why pop music is (generally speaking, not in every case) so awful in the last 15 years. Because nobody has the patience to go back and listen to any other music than previous pop music. The best pop music in history has been made by people who listened to everything, from Bach to old show tunes to folk/blues, to African or other regional world musics. Basically 99% of creators have zero interest in doing anything except re-state tropes and the previous generation’s use of those tropes. It’s up to readers/listeners if we want to delve more deeply, because a majority of pop culture creators, aren’t.
@@Eris123451 gets around the 12 hour limit but requires an always up server (or more likely just a laptop with sleep turned off) on the host end I think. Swings and roundabouts.
Oh man, think I'm going to enjoy this very much 🙂 my wife bought me Lovecrafts full works for my birthday.. lol I can't read them without hearing Ian narrating them 🙂 best narrating I've ever listened to. Better than any sleep aid u can get and ur reading is just how I hear any Cthulhu mythos now 🙂
I've heard all of these productions, but it was really fun to hear them again. Listening to them, I had the sudden thought that the Toad from 'The Thing on The Roof' might be the same creature featured in 'The Black Stone.'
This is an absolute gift to be able to listen to this splendid collection of stories. I appreciate all the work that you and Jennifer do. Thank you so much 🤗💖🌟🌌💫
Amazing. These are some wonderful tales. Treasures, each and every one of them! "Best of the Best: Part 1" Thanks! I smile as I listen to each of these tales. I have listened to them all on your channel over the last few months! 1:56:09
6:01:24 _"The Haunter of the Ring"_ is closer to one of his Conan stories [the Ring occurring within them; when it mentions "Stygian" it's specifically a "real world" province within the Conan world] than to being Lovecraftian, although man, the overlap is certainly there. I have more qualms with this story of his than of any that I've heard (since I've been *loving* his Conan stories this last year), but one single thing stands out the most at the conclusion: _so was she able to remove the ring as soon as that deal was concluded?!_ It boggles my mind that he forgot to wrap that little part up, the entire mechanism of the haunting. The craziest thing that startles me about Robert E Howard is how much of his stuff seems to inspire D&D-style RPG elements, to the point that it vastly overwhelms the high fantasy elements of Tolkien inside it all. Like when Tolkien does The Ring it's The Ring of Gyges, it makes you invisible and corrupts your soul into doing evil things, and when you can't remove it it's that the addiction [all metaphorically for the most part] seems to prevent you from removing it. When Howard is doing a cursed ring, his Ring is just cursed in that role-playing game sense where "oops! it's cursed, you can't remove it!" And that just brings me back to the stories of Conan sneaking through castles, sometimes running into Lovecraftian monsters _[Tower of the Elephant_ comes to mind], but often it just feels like a D&D-style party where -- oh look! you just meet a random ancient sorcerer stuck in a dungeon cell for a decade and he joins your party! as you're avoiding some level 70 snek slithering about... I'd been surprised by how much Howard reminded me of Lovercaft in it, but should've figured it out immediately since I knew he was published in _Weird Tales, and ofc the prominent ones all knew and communicated with each other._ ANYWAY I really just wanted to say that I can't believe he forgot to wrap up the ring part... This one seemed unusually sloppy, making me sit there wondering why -- believing what they did of what was going on -- why wasn't their first plan of action to make sure she hadn't the means to carry out violence... oh well. Still was very enjoyable, don't get me wrong!
Shadow from the steeple always reminds me of two of my dogs. I have a rottwieller and a black pitweiler that are as quiet as tomb and always slink up to lick their daddy's hand like a pair of leopards. When they both pad up to me like they're guilty of nibbling on a nieghbor, I always think of this story.
I miss the creepy ambience in ‘The Shambler From the Stars’, but do rather enjoy how the compilation was structured. Thank you Ian. Oh a separate note, do you have any Zothique stories planned? I bet you would have fun with those.
Enjoy the broadcast. Well done. Look forward to listening to new ones. I have read several of love craft books. Thank you for your time and your effort in making these videos.
Right?? Don't remind us!!! 😂 Getting older is like time travel. It just flies right by us. And now there will be the Christmas music. You can't escape it.
Quite love the implied interaction that must have gone on between writers: H.P.L: I quite liked your related works. To show my appreciation, I made you the main character with two letters in your name changed where you die horribly! Bloch: ….. Thanks. How about I make a sequel where You die offscreen from Learning? Use ALL your names without any change. Oh, and your monster was causing the Wars because that poem you made that I liked. And he has pet panthers! Panthers are cool. HPL: Sounds about right.
Annnnd I've just found my next collection to listen to, great to he able to hear the full cthulhu mythos, always missed parts so its going to be great having them all across this trilogy of videos you've put together. I'm a HUGE Robert E Howard fan and though this is strictly a horror channel, I can't help but want to hear your take on the likes of Conan, Solomon Cain, Kull, Bran Mac Morn and others..seeing how much horror is in those. 😎
' Creeper In The Crypt' - "What lurks in the graveyards...?" Ghouls lurk, feeding and feasting on our human carrion. Reminds me of a few stories about crows and flesh.
You have done a fantastic thing, my friend, and completely ruined for me all other storytellers. You have done a more important thing than you know, bringing these cosmic yarns to the greater public. They are necessary as cautionary tales for a world moving rapidly into the unknown corners of physics and the mind. And while these “sciences, each straining in their own direction, have hitherto harmed us little”, perhaps one day a lab tech will hesitate to turn on that strange new machine he built from out of his wildest imaginings for remembering the words you’ve relayed. Thank you, Mr. Gordon. You are much appreciated.
Everytime I listen to 'The Black Stone' I am struck that it's oddly very compatible with JRR Tolkien's legendarium: The monolith, incredibly ancient and once part of an impossibly huge black fortress, could be a stone from Utumno, or Angband. The bestial cultists could easily be descents with mixed Orc and human blood, and the creature could be one of any number of monsters created by Morgoth and Sauron, or a surviving fallen Maiar who had once served them. I've no reason to think this is anything other than a coincidence of details, but it's an amusing thought.
I'm always looking for more lovecraftian works without it being Lovecraft, so this is perfect for me! Anyone have any good medieval horror fantasy book/story recommendations?
Why do I always come back to the Lovecraftian Sphere or Mythos when I want a relaxing story to listen to. Despite the little faults they possess. For instance: Their reference to Hasjiesj's dreams. You don't dream when you use Hasjiesj, you just get stoned. 😌😴🤫
The misconceptions about marijuana in the era they were living in were some next-level stuff. People going into uncontrolled rages, hallucinating, etc. If a stoner breaks into a gas station, they're most likely after the Doritos display.
So, in the one story, there's a series of pictures on the wall depicting 3,000 years of history. That would equate to 1 million and 95,000 days. I guess the pictures are very small.
Was that an original introduction? Perfectly Penned. Great collection thus far. I can get rid of the self created Playlist to organize the Trapezohedron Triliogy. It was (con)textual tennis between Bloch and Lovecraft.
I've corrected the Bandcamp version (which I think you were referring to as the podcast version). I'll pin a comment regarding the glitch here on YT. Thanks again!
@@HorrorBabble this actually appears in RUclips Music as a podcast, that was what I referred to, but thank you! Not quite sure how the YT Music's podcasts work, since it seems the comment section for that episode is the same as this, so maybe it's just this video with the actual visuals stripped out of it, but only a selection of your uploads/playlists appear as podcasts on there, so I assumed it was something you had actually released as a podcast.
I'm trying to find a story I could've sworn you uploaded. It's about a man who plants two seeds that either appear out of nowhere or came from space, they grow into a plant/human man and woman. Maybe it was someone else who uploaded it, but I really only listen to HorrorBabble.
@@HorrorBabble I remember the man who plants the seeds falls in love with the plant woman and kills the plant man out of jealousy, I believe the story ends with the plant woman dying as well.
So a day is 1 ft in length. The depiction is roughly 1 million and 95,000 days or 1 million and 95,000 ft. 1 million and 95,000/ 5,280 is just over 207 miles in length. That is a long catacomb. To that point, it's a long catacomb it goes much further than that.
Does anyone know if Ian does all the male voices? Or just the narration ? If he does em its impressive how he switches between the younger mans voice then back to narration so smoothly 😮😮
Limited to twelve hours? RUclips! Argh. I just saw a NASA video that's 1,480 hours, though. 12 hours might be easier to navigate than 1,480 hours, i guess.
Been waiting to do this on a new never been used upload so hopefully someone will definitely read this and know what im talking about and help me cos I'm going crazy trying to find this story again. It's about a guy who goes into this ruined building, think it was a church and the locals are all like nooooo stay away and he doesn't 😂 and this boagey in old rotten monks clothes comes up from a kind of hidden lower stairway and chases the guy and he able to get out of the building but faints before he gets to the perimeter but a brave townie comes and carries him to safety... Does that sound familiar or ring any bells?
For some context I was listening to a playlist and fell asleep and woke up to above story playing but didn't have the where with all to look to see what it was.
I want to say yes because at the time I was only listening you your channel and a few more with similar authors and stories, 😁but I wasnt awake and a few days later I tried to figure it out by looking at my history. I have tried to go through all the channels, your included, like story by story lol and that's an impossible task. It is driving me insane. I remember the narrator had a proper Victorian/Edwardian accent and was a period piece. Just one of those things my mind won't let go. Thank you so much for taking the time to reply in any event and keep killin it!!!! ❤️🦄 Love you guys
I dreamed that I was and then I awoke and was not. So I dreamed I was not until I awoke and I was. I've always been here. Why do you do this to yourselves?

Which is a shame because I heard that in his later years he managed to alter his perspective for the better to an extent.
@@WhoCares69Turning Lovecraft woke is a non-starter.
Just keep it in origial old form⭐️
He had quite a few hang-ups, but he was very much a product of his place and time. His stories however, are truly iconic.
H.P. Lovecraft, Robert Howard, Aston Clark Smith, they wrote letters to each other before the Internet came along.
I’d like to see a Horrorbabble Live channel that just has every recording on loop.
That's completely insane.

So a day is 1 ft in length. The depiction is roughly 1 million and 95,000 days or 1 million and 95,000 ft. 1 million and 95,000/ 5,280 is just over 207 miles in length. That is a long catacomb. To that point, it's a long catacomb it goes much further than that.

Does anyone know if Ian does all the male voices? Or just the narration ? If he does em its impressive how he switches between the younger mans voice then back to narration so smoothly 😮😮
For example the Italian fellow in the creeper the crypt
Generally I tackle all the male voices, with a couple of exceptions here and there. Thanks!
Limited to twelve hours? RUclips! Argh. I just saw a NASA video that's 1,480 hours, though. 12 hours might be easier to navigate than 1,480 hours, i guess.
Links pls !
Evidently I was the 666th thumbs-up, not sure how to feel about that 🤔
Okay, who let the shoggoths out? It was you Mr Bloch wasn't it?
Shoggoth, shoggi, shoggun? Plurals of shoggoth.... anyone know?
What became of those who answered the call of the Old Ones?

It's my evening listening for the week!

Been waiting to do this on a new never been used upload so hopefully someone will definitely read this and know what im talking about and help me cos I'm going crazy trying to find this story again.
It's about a guy who goes into this ruined building, think it was a church and the locals are all like nooooo stay away and he doesn't 😂 and this boagey in old rotten monks clothes comes up from a kind of hidden lower stairway and chases the guy and he able to get out of the building but faints before he gets to the perimeter but a brave townie comes and carries him to safety... Does that sound familiar or ring any bells?
For some context I was listening to a playlist and fell asleep and woke up to above story playing but didn't have the where with all to look to see what it was.
Was it definitely a HorrorBabble recording? It isn’t quite ringing a bell yet. Sounds like a corker though!
I want to say yes because at the time I was only listening you your channel and a few more with similar authors and stories, 😁but I wasnt awake and a few days later I tried to figure it out by looking at my history. I have tried to go through all the channels, your included, like story by story lol and that's an impossible task. It is driving me insane. I remember the narrator had a proper Victorian/Edwardian accent and was a period piece. Just one of those things my mind won't let go. Thank you so much for taking the time to reply in any event and keep killin it!!!! ❤️🦄 Love you guys

I dreamed that I was and then I awoke and was not. So I dreamed I was not until I awoke and I was. I've always been here. Why do you do this to yourselves?
