Ha! Vaults are no secret to me! Warren!
Almost finished my Christmas Shopping so this is a good reward. And as always thanks to everyone involved for all your hard work.
What excellent narration, each syllable, each intonation...no word is unexpressed, no word merely read. Wow!
That was excellent, I have just sat here in silence, absolutely mesmerised....a good horror story pulls you in , and keeps you there....superb narration ..I look forward to hearing more , and obviously look this author up , I do hope he wrote more ....
Like so many horror stories, this fails in the end, because the nephew ran away before knowing whether or not his uncle had succeeded. He APPEARED to have succeeded, but in a typical story, the apparent success would be revealed to have been a monstrous and catastrophic failure. For all we know, though, the aunt and uncle lived happily ever after.
@@christosvoskresye it wasn’t like the uncle did anything bad (except murdering his wife but he brought her back and wouldn’t have even thought of it if he wasn’t confident) so there’s really not much karmic justice
@@hanster.gun.3438 Is this the first horror story you have ever heard? Or are you being sarcastic? All he did wrong was to murder his wife and dabble in the occult! That ALWAYS leads to a happy ending, eh?
The language and imagery were amazing on this one. Thanks so much for a wonderful tale!
My favorite channel on my day off so it's pipe time with great tales. 💀
That sounds cosy!
Blessed Be.
Try some Cornell & Diehl Miskatonic Mixture. It's a good smoke.
@@unclesham5507 I have all The One's line with The Haunting and The Beast from Warped. They are great smokes.
@David Smith Any substance that is introduced into one's self carries risk. Pipe smoking does carry less lung issues as it isn't inhaled into the lungs but oral issues are elevated obviously depending usage. I don't smoke daily and have gone long stretches without a pipe. I do tend to have a pipe while listening to audio drama like Horrorbabble.
That's my opinion and how I see it.
Babble on, Narrator King!
Lunch time HorrorBabble again today! My favorite!
For the record Folks, the hoodies are Top Quality 👍🏻
How are the Bunny Hugs? Cheers Warren, resident of Saskatchewan!

Saskatchewan are you quite sure ?
I was rather under the impression that he'd gone down under ?
@@Eris123451 -- Ah yes, Eris123, but go down under & come up on the other side -- & you're in Saskatchewan! Cheers Warren, whose existence is a paranormal Country song! -- "I've been everywhere, human, I've been everywhere!"

Totally, totally, totally! I agree! I ❤ my HorrorBabble sweatshirt Dress!
See, I ordered the 5XL (the chest size listed to fit my b@@bs), but it turned out the measurement are incorrectly listed- just order what you normally would do- that’ll be correct.
For me this mistake turned out just perfect; I swim in it, but I wear it as a dress and I LOVE IT!!!🎉❤🎉
Bless you Ian! You always provide the best stuff around. What a gem!!
Gosh. It’s 2am. Breathless in the quiet going with that young man
Absolutely excellent as always many thanks Ian 😎👍
The ending had no right to be this wholesome! You-know-who's return makes this a happy ending. 😢
When it comes to the occult this result truly begs the question, is what walked out of that tomb really Aunt Helena? Or was it something else entirely, a result like this doesn’t come without a price.
Can't beat a bit of romance ♥️
thanks Ian
These should be epic Ian and team. When I get a minute, I certainly will check it out.
ah another longer one, can't wait to see how it turns out
Wow what an amazing story 👍
This brings to mind an episode of Fringe in which a man had been obsessed with a young woman (who did not seem to have known him), but she had died in an accident, and various of her organs and tissues had been transplanted into others. He hunted down and killed the recipients, harvesting her organs and reassembling her, and he succeeded in reanimating the corpse, but "what came back was not her," as he sadly discovered.
This story only takes us up to the last commercial break.
An amazing tale and one I'd never heard of. Very well written, almost factual, and then that big finish. Thanks for bringing this to us.
Ah ha! The precious bodily fluids…. U should do a tomb/ vault collection. “Soilent Green is people! “ Excellent listen 🎧.
Great story, great narration.
Your narrations take me out of my self bless you.
Good stuff. This story really oozes atmosphere.
Thank you as always for uploading.
The story, like all which have come before, is perfectly narrated, each word hauntingly enunciated but alas, this particular tale ends weakly.
Can't get enough HorrorBabble or that sweet sweet voice of Ian Gordon! Seriously, thanks for the channel, I appreciate it.
Ian, you are an absolute legend. Much love and appreciation to you and the team. Cheers.
Damn this is a good one, I'm aware of the author vaguely but I've never read this before.
You always seem to find these obscure hidden gems Ian, I don't know how you do it, I thought I knew most of the old Weird Tales pulp stories but you still constantly surprise me with new ones, thanks!
No wonder the ceremony didn't work properly everyone knows you need fork handles not seven candles.
I imagine these authors would be pleased their stories are being discovered by an entire new generation.
Nothing like a good story about an old vault
Fantastic story and presentation! My only regret was that I had to split the reading into two parts to finish it! 👍
cool story, good reading!
😳 he did what now 😳
I can't find anything about this author on the internet, does anybody know? The imaginative way everything is described in this story is amazing to me.
Listening from the ukwales❤

🐐
also, nice use of reverb :)
Wow, block ans his houses...this one a blockhouse ?....sorry..3am. Love your nsrration
Great narration as always, and Rosenquest's descriptive abilities are amazing. But I fail to understand the 'horror'. Rosenquest very clearly lays out the situation and feelings of the soul and vitality as pure and unadulterated consciousness, and the immortality is described as literally just coming back with mind and body intact without any issues. The ritual requires no blood, no sacrifice other than a bit of time, no vile acts. Yet the main character is utterly horrified. Further, the MC never explains that they think its an afront to god which could explain their apprehension. Just very strange what was seen as fearful back then.

Hmm... Feel free to get in touch via the website: www.horrorbabble.com
Not sure about this being a horror story. I mean sure, the narrator found out about his uncle discovering new, upsetting fetishes, but he *did* read the man's diary, and apparently there was no terrible consequence for messing with the natural order of reality whatsoever beyond a huge candle budget and maybe explaining to the neighbours. It would've been a horror story if the narrator didn't know until the reunited pair started gaslighting him into believing he'd hallucinated the past few months, but...maybe that's a bit psychological for a '30s ghoul mag.
Yes, the ending was a letdown. It thought that either she would return horribly changed and possibly devour her husband, or she would not return at all and the uncle would be driven to madness from the realization that he had killed his wife for nothing.

Dictionary required but 🤷🏼♀️🤔😂.
Good wishes! 🐈⬛🐈⬛🙏🏻❤️🔮
Webster's or Slang? Cheers Warren, old-time Slangster!

How many drops of vitality fluid cling to the vessel?
Yeesh. Hopefully not very many.
