    You've got to love this stuff.Howard is probably my favorite.His story,"The Pigeons of Hell",has always been the one to give me nightmares.If you ever travel through the deep South you'll know what I mean.

      Boris Karloff's "Thriller" did a dramatisation on that story. You can watch it on TH-cam.

    Back in the early 90’s I was into the monthly Conan magazines that would also have a short Solomon/Kull story. Thanks to HorrorBabble I am now a well rounded REH fan. Ian and Jennifer are the best thing on TH-cam

    I recently read this story, and I really like the Conrad and Kirowan stories. Robert E. Howard was truly a genious.

    This is one of my all time favorites.
    It portrays so perfectly that deep down fear all of us share......the fear that the only escape individuals of any theology assume to have is not without its own terrible consequences.

    Thank you again for another brilliantly narrated piece. I have an 18 month old and don’t have much time to myself ( as you can imagine lol) but I always make sure before bed I give myself this treat: to listen to your amazing narrations. Thank you. It really helps me relax and then sleep xx

    When it comes to Howard, I've only read a handful of Conan and Solomon Kane short stories. Is this representative of his horror? Because, damn, this has a much more sinister edge than most of his peers from the same era.

    • @HorrorBabble
      @HorrorBabble  6 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      I'm not so familiar with Howard as I am Lovecraft and Smith, but I'm enjoying what I've tackled thus far. This story is a little formulaic, though it's certainly worthy of inclusion on the channel. Ian

    The interesting thing is that the protagonist gets it wrong. Melek Taus isn't a demon, but instead generally an advocate of mankind and one of the prime good beings in the yadzi religion.

    Oh my most dear Horror Babblers,
    You are no fair weather rabblers.
    But labor worth'ly at thy art,
    Conduce the listener's worried start.
    Conjuring visions well indeed,
    Perhaps encouraging others,
    To read.
    So let me laud you once again,
    'Er the stars come right,
    And all is done in.

    Amazing what people considered Satanic back in those times...Voudun/Voodoo is no more Satanic than Shintoism. Both are forms of ancestor worship....Voudun and Voodoo focus on positive aspects of spiritual life 99.99 % of the time...See Wade Davis book, "The Serpent and the Rainbow" The book inspired the movie. The movie inspired the Godsmack song "Voodoo"😁

    Really enjoy your channel 🤗...my question is, how do you decide which stories to narrate and post? And do you have a cue of several weeks or months ahead?

    • @HorrorBabble
      @HorrorBabble  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      We might have to put the Q&A on the back burner for now VF - this is the only question we've received! So in answer to your question, we plan each month in advance, though 'life' and other distractions can affect those plans! We have a list of works in the public domain, to which we add requests and what not if they too are in the PD. Ian

    The more we change, the more the same. Victorians feared anything they didn't understand. Shintoism, indeed 😅 The overriding belief in Shinto is to promote harmony and purity in all aspects of life. Humans are thought of as being fundamentally good, and evil is caused by evil spirits. The purpose of Shinto, therefore, is to pray and offer to the kami to keep away evil spirits.

      It was, at the time, a problematic story for the channel - we'll probably restore it eventually though. For now, it's free to stream on our Bandcamp page. Cheers Roland!

    Sounds terrible, but with relatives, I want to go out the same way. I've got all the money, they're the assholes trying to get the money. It's going to be fun.

  • @kooky45
    @kooky45 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I like this, but not you're mispronunciation of the article "ye" in this and other narrations. In this case the corresponding modern article is "the". In old English it was pronounced the same as our "the" and was written as "þe", but most printers didn't have the "þ" (the letter thorn) symbol so substituted a "y" instead. It was never pronounced as the letter "y" but always similar to the "th" sound.
    When it's the "ye" for the archaic pronoun (the multiple of "you" as in "Come all ye faithful") then it is pronounced "ye" but that's a very different meaning and more aligned with the modern "you".
    Can you think about using the correct pronunciation please? It'd sound better, clearer, and more historically accurate too.
    All the best.

    5:19 did he really group "Hinduism" with devil worship? Wow! These old stories crack me up how they can be so open minded about occultism then in the next sentence be ignorantly prejudice in the next!

    A good story, but it is a shame that Howard invokes Shintoism in such a slanderous manner. But I suppose he was not acquainted with it well enough to know that it is generally benign, insomuch as religions are concerned.

    It was very well written but the story itself was rather bland and predictable.
