Thanks Ian and the gang,reallly needed this on a monday! Nothing (and i really mean nothing!) brings me as much joy as seeing a new lovecraft story in my news flow!
Can't relax until Inauguration Day : | Thank goodness I've got HorrorBabble as an anti-anxiety med! Hope quarantine is treating everyone well! Cheers all!
@@gerry5134 Warren is totes dead. But the chatty kind of dead who answer the phone. Statement of Randolph Carter if anyone has no idea what we are talking about.
Just at the end, I was saying Oh Bless there is Peace... But No, it is Lovecraft after all 🤷🏼♀️. Pls don't think that the background to the video has not been unnoticed. Kindest Wishes.
Love it!!! Never enough Lovecraft. I keep finding him popping up all over radio dramas especially a group out of Seattle using his characters in modern situations. Great Work per usual.
WHERE DO YOU KEEP FINDING MORE LOVECRAFT STORIES? I thought I'd read them all. You've dug up another deceased author, haven't you? They hid his grave and everything! Well done.
@@charlesman8722 that is how Ian wrote A Haunting At Ravenglass and The Sleeper of the thingy thing. I don't think it is dignified to operate William Hope Hodgson's cadaver like a ventriloquist puppet...but Lovecraft probably enjoyed the company culminating in shouting at about Warren at passing fools.
Oh yay this one takes place in Maine. I have family out there, spent my early childhood years there and was there myself last month. It’s always funny hearing horror stories that take place there
Maine is a beautiful state. I live an hour away in Massachusetts. I spent many childhood summers in Maine on Islesboro island. There are many fictional horror stories that take place in Maine. Especially in the towns of Castle Rock, Jerusalem's Lot, Haven, and of course Derry where they all float. Though none of those towns actually exist. Except in the imagination of a certain author.
Great reading, I wish that H. P. L. had done more with the Dream Quest Cycle, they will always be my favorites of his works, such a masterful amalgamation of fantasy, horror and mind bending sci-fi all in the realm of dreams....(Sigh), speaking as one who has, indeed, grown weary of the ways of the modern world, I fully empathize with Randolph and his desire to find the gleaming spires of long lost childhood realms. 😧😔😴
That were a strange one. Not sure I got it - was he supposed to be in some version of hell ? The book sounded like the ones the cone-things your mind goes into when one of thems is using your body use
Stethelos is a part of the Dreamlands, below the Great Cataract but not quite so far as you may need to go to find the moon - mentioned by Iranon in "The Quest of Iranon", i'm not too sure if we hear about it elsewhere though.
Here’s another suggestion for you. How about you do a biography of Lovecraft? I think you’d have a very good perspective given how many stories you’ve read.
10:51 The quote line as per auto-generated closed caption: " ...but that which might be heard in the farsithian lands..." Can someone tell me what the word is and what it means? Thanks
Oh, I feel cheated by the ending. It seems less like it's leaving something to my imagination than that the writers had no idea where to go from there. Oh well, even the greatest writers - such as Lovecraft - write a few duds.
It's a wonderful story, but I kinda think Lovecraft should've avoided part of his traditional writing style, with heavy use of alliteration, in a text that is supposed to be a literal translation from Greek, which in my mind would have leaned more towards keeping the meaning of the individual words rather than keeping the rhyme or meter of the original text.

We all trying to keep it together, it's tough times.
Kindest Wishes Xxx
Only Lovecraft could turn a beautiful green meadow into a eldritch, demoniac abyss. Love it!
@Stephen 👍
I'm thinking of your channel as my go-to place for Lovecraft narrations.
HorrorBabble is the best I've found by a long shot. Grimscribe is amazing for Thomas Ligotti, too.
Dammed straight…
Thank God for you guys!!! Really needed some chill out time with my favorite narrator 🤙
So you're a racist?
Warren: The tales of my death have been greatly over exaggerated!
🤣🤣

🙏🏼🍀🗺️👍🏼❤️🗺️🏴
You never cease to amaze and entertain. Perfect listening for a quiet few moments in a crazy world.
You fool! Warren is.. oh, found him! He’s fine😳.
Thank you for that, I've always been very concerned about Warren Xxx 🙏🏼 ❤️ 🍀 🗺️ 🍀 🏴🤞🏼🥃
Rumours of his death were greatly exaggerated ! 😁🤣🙄

Were they really ?
regards H.West.
@@Eris123451 I thought you were going to reply 'Regards warren!' 😁😂😂
Yes. This had the telltale signs of Lovecraft. Awesome story. Enjoyed it. Take care Ian and Jenn. Thank you.

And they all lived happily ever.... Just kidding their all dead or horribly insane 😱😂
IAN UR VOICE IS ABSULUTLY PERFECT 4 READING LOVECRAFT!!!! UR THE 1 THAT MAKES ME LOVE LOVECRAFT!!!! THANK U SO MUCH!!!!

Love how Lovecraft keeps us hanging, wondering what more did the ancient narrator say.
WHERE DO YOU KEEP FINDING MORE LOVECRAFT STORIES?
I thought I'd read them all.
You've dug up another deceased author, haven't you?
They hid his grave and everything! Well done.
You know the necronomicon allows to to bring back the dead right?

They do the same with H.G.Wells. I thought I’d read all his stuff years back but here we are…
Again, wondrous reading, Ian. Best to you and Jen.

Maine seems to be King’s favourite spot also, a pretty place with loadsa secrets in the shadows, and alien clowns 👀

Great story amd narration!
Thanks!
Been a while, great opening, just read Randolph Carter to my daughter last night.
Amazing that you guys did this one, fantastic addition!
Sweet! Never read this one. Thank you for another great reading. 🎃🥃
Thank u so much these tales keep me sane during my boring nite job.
'Warren, Warren' .It's always about Warren. What about MEEEEE😭
Steven King must be an eldritch God going back in time to influence other writers to write horror stories set in Maine
Um, no, Lovecraft was doing this type of stuff while SK wasn't even a twinkle in his dad loins.
More like HP influenced writers like SK, Heinlein etc.
@@chrismeyers5963 It was a joke
Greek guy gets to live forever in Paradise, is still unsatisfied with his fate. Eternal youth is wasted on the young and Weird Al.
Never thought I’d see a Weird Al reference in the comm section of a horror video. Lol. Now I think I’d love to hear him do a Lovecraft parody…
Wow, always great picks👍
This channel is such a nice environment.. I'll be coming back

Pitch perfect as always
You guys never fail to impress. Frank Muller level, so god level narrative skills.
Not a great story, but a superb narration. I always look forward to Monday night's weird tale from horror babble!
What a deliciously deceptive title, and expertly read!
I like the cassette wheel spinning! : ))
That were a strange one.
Not sure I got it - was he supposed to be in some version of hell ?
The book sounded like the ones the cone-things your mind goes into when one of thems is using your body use
He was destined for an afterlife called Stethelos, where the young never grow old but remain boringly the same.
@@thezieg hey, if they’ve got Molly and sound systems I could live with that.
@@popevimtoripkeefhappysackXXX pretty sure it's more boring than that.

Alas, poor Warren. I knew him well.
Pretty cool one, i like its deep mystery and dream like feeling

Love it.
Nobody:
Warren, listening to this video:
Who would want to live forever?
Me.
Not me, and it sounds like the Greek guy wasn’t fond of the idea either
I feel kind of stupid because I can't figure out what the "Warren is dead" is referring to.
it is from Lovecraft's "the Statement of Randolph Carter"
@@paulcateiii Thank you!
@@shroomyk you're welcome
@@shroomyk spoiler alert : warren dies
Literature is literature. Exaggeration itself is a part of literature.
I wonder if the land of Stefalos hss a Chick-fil-A...

More lovecraft Yes!!!!
Pyrite democratous?
Forgive me for for the spelling....
