So im a night shift custodian. Being alone in an elementary school from 8 pm to 5 am really adds to the suspense of these stories. Thank you for these! I actually have a compilation of most of Lovecraft's wotk but i have adhd and its hard for me to focus. But these audiobooks really helped me get through much of Lovecraft's longer stories. Keep up the good work!

that piano, the intro , the narrator... perfection

Bought this for a dime at a thrift store when I was perhaps ten years old, my first taste of HPL. (I still remember the characteristic smell of that place, where I found so many of the books I came to treasure.) I've revisited it so many times since then that I'm not really capable of any sort of critical appraisal. Hearing Ian's narration has breathed new life into it for me, for which I'm immensely grateful. This and ATMOM are the ones I most appreciate, perhaps because Lovecraft didn't feel pressed to condense them to short-story length to fit into an issue of Weird Tales. I've sometimes felt that some of the shorter tales are bursting at the seams as he strives to keep the word-count down. This is especially true of The Shadow Out of Time and a couple of others. My thanks go out to Ian for his subtle and nuanced readings.

A five hour example of Horror Babble being a cut above anything like it on this platform! Thank the gods for people like this team....
I really believe channels like this help prevent the entirety of human culture from becoming summarized and consumed in three minutes or less.
Bravo Ian.

For me, you are hands down the best narrator of Lovecraft's work. Even when I'm joking with a friend about this or that about Lovecraft's style, I do it in your narrating style. You bring out so much in the writing. I especially love how you read the more dated bits about society scandals or genealogical tidbits or lines like "the celebrated wit". You do such a great job with the whole of the text and truly bring it to life.

Amazing work, sir. Sometimes I wonder why I'm a weirdo listening to creepy horror on your channel. Then I realise it's only because HP Lovecraft is a literary genius, and because of your work I'm able to soo easily digest it. Thank you, sincerely.

Ian shows all others how it is done. The Gold Standard.

Every time I listen to this I pick up on new details I missed through the previous times. I know Lovecraft liked The Color out of Space l, but I think this is his best, most detailed work.

Ian, I'm absolutely blown away by how you bring these stories to life. Your cadence, voice and inflection are second to none. Sincere thanks for your outstanding work in bringing these classics into the mainstream.

I listen to this again and again. It is great to have such a LONG reading to have as company during long work passes. Your voice has become one's friend.

This convinced me to become a patreon. Best channel on Youtube for audiobooks by far!

Thank you for this. I've been an avid HPL fan since I discovered his work in the 80s from a quote from "The Call Of Cthulhu" on an Iron Maiden album cover. Ironic I'd never sought him out before then since I was already a fan of Poe, R. E. Howard, (Conan creator and good friend of HPL), Moorcock (Elric, Hawkmoon), E.R.Burroughs, (Tarzan), King and countless others.
Ive tried to figure out which of HPL's works are my favorite but that has proven impossible. I do know that this one is definitely top three. One of the creepiest stories ever written by anyone. It's pretty difficult for me to honestly get the heebs, but this story gets me goosy every time. Heebs achieved.
Thanks again.

I cant even begin to describe how much these stories help me through my long night shifts. I normally dont like audio books. I prefer to have the actual physical copy in my hands. However, I've always found lovecrafts flowery language hard to slog through sometimes. Dont get me wrong, I love the man's work. He was an absolute veritable literary genius of cyclopean proportions (dang it his writing is rubbing off on me). Listening to it is so much better though. And honestly, Ian one of the best narrators i have ever found on youtube (second only to Wayne June). In conclusion, before I accidentally turn a youtube comment into a five paragraph essay, great work, and thank you so darn much for helping me keep sane (I am fully aware of the intense irony in that statement)

"It was twilight, and Charles Dexter Ward had come Home."
This is one of my all-time favorite sentences ever written. I don't know why, but this one just Does it for me. Gg, HPL and gg, HorrorBabble.

I listen to these once in bed and trying to sleep. Gets rough after a few nights because I never remember where I was at in story when I konked out. That has me going back to a point I remember and go over same part again lol. Takes me forever to get thru a longer one. Don't get me wrong.. I love the longer videos but just need to figure out how to stop it when I fall asleep. Thx all.

I felt overwhelming pity for the poor half-formed ghouls trapped deep in the pits of Curwen's dungeon

I love this story!
The Tillinghast and Waite names are in this story as well...hmmmm
Such a good rendition of this story. It is excellent! This is such a rich and detailed story. Fantastic job!
The Dr. Willett is awesome! He is so resolute, thorough, and practices excellent critical thinking. I love how his research allows him to figure it all out. He reminds me of a modern day Paladin.
I love how this story combs through all the history of Charles Dexter Ward and Joseph Curwen.
Fantastic job, Ian.
