You are so welcome! And a Triple-hello to you! :)

@@iReadBooks I meant two great recommendations!

Well, it was *one* video with two recommendations, so I think it counts ;)) They are both great, aren't they? That's the great thing about TH-cam, so many different people with different approaches. But one goal: telling stories

@@iReadBooks There are so many great channels out there, and honestly, some of the best ones are the smaller, harder-to-find ones. I’m always on the lookout for horror and sci-fi narrations, but I hadn’t heard of these channels before. So genuinely, thank you for the recommendation!

I am glad! :) And I fully agree. In general (not only in the "story realm of TH-cam) I tend to find larger channels often a bit bland over time. No disrespect towards those, working your way up there is always a matter of effort and consistency. I respect that a lot. It's the smaller ones, thought, you know... those that just do whatever they feel like doing, and also presenting lesser known stuff... it's the mixture that I personally like better. One reason btw. why I really like your channel: stories I've never heard or read before. That's really cool

I thought you might be interested in philosophy :) And yes, of course, I'll show you once again. It's just over THERE, where it says "Kallipolisradio" in the description. Simply click the link. You'll get there ;))))

Thank *you*, Stephen!

Thank you, Joe. 😂 I am very relieved to finally have fulfilled the quota. It had been weighing on my mind for quite a while. Never mess with cats. We were owned by two. Strict but fair rulers.

Thank you kindly 🙏🏻 ☺️ This is indeed an unusual story for Lovecraft. One reason is that it actually *does* have a catharsis. And one most people probably can get behind. And I absolutely agree with you regarding Lovecraft’s frequent depiction of other cultures. This story is a notable exception from the sometimes implied, sometimes blatant racist and xenophobic views that found their way into his fictional texts.

Thank you very much! I really appreciate it!

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks a lot, Kristof!

Thank you :)

Thinking of the state of the public transport system here, I should probably prepare a couple of stories to read 😁 thanks a lot, Stephen!

@@iReadBooks lol...actually ALWAYS make sure I have hpl around.

😂😂😂

Thanks a lot! 😊

Thank you very much 😊

Thank you very much! 😊 I'm glad, you enjoyed it. I'm currently working on a reading of yet another Jules Verne novel which that I hope to be posting mid November. Currently, I'm posting short story readings but I'll be back reading novels again, soon. Thank you for your appreciative words and for listening. It means a lot! 😊

@kater4052 It's wonderful to hear that my channel helps others. It makes me really happy! Thank you very much for your kind words. I hope, you will enjoy my future readings, too.

Thanks a lot, Joe! 😊 The book... hmmm... well... it's a sort of a tome. I dusted it off a bit, though. 😂 It's in all seriousness a magic book that contains (or can contain) everything we want it to contain. I *might* talk about it and show what's in it in a future video 😁

@@iReadBooks Nice! Do it!! 👍

I will 😉

Thanks bunches! 😊

Thank you very much! I appreciate it a lot!

Okay... hmmm... now I have at least an idea of why my Canadian friends blocked me on WhatsApp. 😂😂😂 Just kidding. 😊 You are absolutely spot on. No, indeed, I don't try to hide my accent anymore. I did try it at the beginning of this channel, and the results were cringeworthy, to say the least. So, at one point, I thought: I won't fool anyone anyway. I'll just be myself and instead try to improve over time instead of "acting". I do try to be correct with my pronunciation, but sometimes a word slips through. 😊 Thank you so much for your feedback. It helps me, and it helps the channel. As for the intro & humor: While I never took myself too seriously and always tried to make the intros at least a bit entertaining, with this video, I tried to test the waters by making the videos a bit more elaborate and adding props without going too "overboard." I am very glad, you enjoyed the video. Thank you for watching and for taking the time to send a comment. It means a lot!

I love Bierce, too. There will be a "Bierce very special special" soon :) Glad, that you enjoyed it!

As always: Thank you so much for listening and the encouraging words. They mean a lot. Best wishes *to* Canada :)

Thank you very much! Thank you for listening and for taking the time to send a comment. I appreciate it a lot.

Hey Stephen! I'll be letting the Hub know. If you need something that I can do from a distance let me know.

@@iReadBooks thanks. Can't even email any one direct at the moment. So thanks.

No problem at all

Oh, definitely. The second story would make for a great movie, wouldn't it?

@jodys5578 Thank you so very much! I'm very glad, you enjoyed it! Thank you for listening and for taking the time to comment. It means a lot

Oh, man, thank you so very much! It means the world. It really does. I have quite a list of stories that I plan to read, and I hope, you will like them as well.

Thank you so much! 😊

Thank you so very much 😊

Thank you 😊

Thank you 😊 Emily Dickinson's poems are very dear to my heart

Thank you so much! ☺️ I appreciate it immensely. I am very glad you enjoy the readings.

Powerful! And it's goes really deep. May I do a reading of it? Thank you for sharing!

@@iReadBooks yes, I would be honoured. Henry Tudor actually is my 14th(or 15th??) Uncle. Your reading would be far more important than his corruption...and vanity.

@StephenSinclair-d6n it's *my* honor (and as much pleasure)

Thank you so very much! It means a lot

It's such a great story, isn't it? I was also like: "What?! 😳"

Thank you 😊 🙏🏻

Isn't this exactly why we read (or-even more so-write) these stories? Because of things we know, have heard, or are afraid of? I surely do. I don't know where (or if) I'd be without these stories... Glad you liked it, Stephen! 😊 And thank you for the suggestion. The "Listener" is amazing, indeed. It almost certainly will be the next Blackwood story I read. I almost read it instead of this one, but then decided to read "Skeleton Lake" first.

😂😂😂 I briefly thought about using our little fog machine but didn't dare to, out of fear that it will tick the fire alarm off. Glad, you liked it. 👻☠️😁

Thank you so much

Thanks so much, man! I am very glad, you liked this

My pleasure! Very glad you liked it. It's a fantastic story.

And good midnight to you! So glad you liked it. Thank you so much!

I fell madly in love with Cawein's work as soon as I read the first poem I stumbled upon. I'm sure, you will love it too, Stephen. Glad that you like the reading. And even more glad, I could introduce you to (imho) one of the greatest poets ever

Recording this story took so much longer than it usually does. I had to cut out so many bits because I burst out laughing or almost laughed. And that even though this was the second recording (I had to bin the first one because of my cold ) ;)))))

Thank you very much 😊

We will tell our stories, Stephen! 😊 Thanks so much. I'm glad you liked it

Thanks bunches! :) I'm really happy that you enjoy the videos

Oh man, thanks so much! It means a lot coming from you. I've been meaning to tell you that I'm a big fan since I found your channel a few days ago. Great stuff! It's an honor!

@@iReadBooks Likewise, I discovered your channel through Stephen Sinclair's stories, and now I'm hooked. I'm always excited to see a new video released!

@TheMidnightMan, I found yours through your comment on my reading of Stephen's poem and watched and listened to quite a few videos while on the train. So, yeah, consider me hooked, too. 😊 The variety, the artwork and overall quality of your videos is stunning.

@@iReadBooks Thank you so much! 😊 It is an honor!
