    Ian Gordon is by far the finest narrator on the Tube.

    The readings of each of these stories, even after this likely being the over side of half a dozen times I have spent a late night listening to them, are simply excellent. The changing pitch, perfectly timed pauses, even the slight rate at which certain parts are sped up or reduced make them the best examples I have ever heard of each tale.

    I don't know what it is about Lovecraft, but his work and Ian's readings always get me on a creative kick and boost my creativity!🖌🎨 When I feel creative block start to settle in, simply listening is enough to get my mind to see detailed imagery. Also, oddly enough, my vocabulary tends to expand to the extent of the entire thesaurus...🧐📖📚 hmm...

    I love seeing your readings compiled like this Ian. I always binge them this way while working on my projects. I wanted to ask if you guys do urban legends. There's an old japanese urban legend called Kuchisake-Onna, "the slit-mouth woman." It's really famous and I'd love to see you and Jennifer bring it to life.

    • @HorrorBabble
      @HorrorBabble  6 ปีที่แล้ว +10

      Thanks Normasch. When you say urban legends, do you mean stories based on urban legends? If there's a Kuchisake-Onna story in the public domain, I'd like to read it.
