Well, we now know what else Francis Ford Coppola was adapting in '92.
There's something fascinating about stories told and listened to. I'm an over-avid reader, a thousand pages per week usually. I know many of the stories HorrorBabble produces, but narration, done in their style, is almost reinvention. I'd like to point out that anyone can read a story out loud with a little practice. On this channel you get a lot more! If you can take the time, set up your side of the atmosphere, you get something that must be pretty close to storytelling in it's original, archaic forms. Those were places where magic took form.
A few more short stories, then we'll see about the cumulative effect of 3-5 hr narrations. Should you never hear from me again, I've fallen through some crack between the words. I'll send a postcard, if there's a way (:
@@FirCorred Whenever I find a book I want to read, I always look for an audiobook, too. I also read many books, but there’s something about hearing it narrated well that really brings it to life, I think. I’ve never been happier since I found HorrorBabble!!
Ggyl lol À
Who would have known I'd like vampire stories that much. Twilight have made a joke of them, but I enjoy every vampire story I listened to on horrorbabble. Great reading as always my friend !!
Twilight isn't a vampire story. It nearly ruined my universal love of the genre before I figured that out
I can't tell you how y'all have comforted me while I've been ill, getting to listen & relisten to my favorites as I'm on bed rest ,then Mon. Its back to hospital for more tests but you're going WITH.....😸
This one was wonderful ,the way you put so much emotion..,Not just listening to a narrator but like being at a play. TY. For all your hard work. 💐. BRAVO !!
Rest well bitty I shall remember you in my prayers.
Here's hoping for wellness and vitality in your future *hugs*
sending you vibrations to be OK. so glad you found this actor to listen to and comfort you - he is amazing, isn't he? be well :}
We hope you're well KB - Jen and I send you our best! :)
I hope you're well! 💜
This is a haunting tale on its own, I feel as though that this may have been an inspiration to authors like Anne Rice and Stephen King... Your reading of these old tales makes them even more enjoyable.
I thoroughly enjoyed this story. You did a wonderful job narrating it-as always 🖤🖤
As always, comforting to be suggested into listening to another story. Do you realize how many psyches you've been melded into by now? Even more than a singer or a meme. Someone we don't know, but we do. Thank you for being a part of my life almost every night for a few years now.
Thank you for working in the midst of demonetization. I wish you all my best, you are a world class narrator, and I hope to secure enough funds to give to your Patreon sooner rather than later.
For some reason, I'm seeing the comment I left as Porn Parody: the Hung King. If others see it as such, it seems to be a glitch. Ian, if you read it as such, I certainly didn't write that. Instead, I commented that I appreciate you working in the midst of demonetization, and that i appreciate your efforts. TH-cam may be messing up in more ways than one, and this is quite odd.
Perfect, this is the perfect length to mow my lawns to. Thank you very much!!
Love this story, thanks Ian for the chance to hear it read so beautifully.
I feel like I have read that long ago. I had a great English (second language) teacher in elementary school; she made us analyse some Robert E. Howard (the one about the corpse disappearing)
Awesome story and narration! It is a solid vampire story. It is a very well-told story.
Tha ks for narrating this, Ian!
I love these vampires of old.
Enjoyed that story very much and the way it is told . 👍🏼🙂
This was a very interesting story with an unexpected ending. Bravo on the narration.
BRILLIANT
A classic vampire. I feel as if this was one of the inspirations for the vampire Barlow in Salem's Lot... Well, except for the end.
Thank you so much for your hard work and dedication
Once again, well done! Your subtle musical accompaniment adds a great deal to the experience.
This was GREAT!! I love the old tales although it is upsetting to see what passes now forauthors and books, just like almost all things now. Books are banned and also amazon is pulling books that they don't agree with. Banned Books pulling books off shelves youbeing demonetized. We've see this all in recent history. The apathy is the most sickening.People do nothing. We now support all those being banned and will continue with moneythis is going to stop soon bank on it till then we appreciate your decision to keep going. The apathy in people now will get what is deserved. What goes around comes around.Thanks again.
I know that I've heard this before and on this channel but it's been some time ago. I just wanted to say that as a lover of old movies your narration played in my mind just like I was watching a favorite old classic movie. I really enjoyed it and I thank you!
This was a most wonderful story! It would make a really amazing movie if it was made true to the story.
Beautiful story, it makes you wanna say "Vampires are human too...!" (sort of)
A vampire with scrupules and morals, nice touch. Good choice.
Hope it all works out for you with TH-cam and/or Google. All the best...
Thanks as always, Roland.
A good vampire story. I liked the ending. Thanks HB.
How effortlessly you switch from one accent to another, it's remarkable! And of course your reading, no, not reading, storytelling, is indeed superb. A true gift! Thank you for your work, it comforts me greatly while I am battling depression and going through the painful process of changing medications. It is sometimes too difficult to read and watching just doesn't do the trick. These stories and your reading transport me like nothing else. This one, while not one of my very favorites (those being Algernon Blackwood's and all the late 19th and early 20th-century ghost and haunting stories), was still very enjoyable.
Thank you for listening, Aleksandra!
Oh. This was a really good one! Bravo!
Oh thank you Sir, 👁❤ Vampire stories. And no 1 dose them like You .at HORRORBABBLE 👌👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🖤🖤🕷❗🕸👣🖤🕷
This was absolutely awesome! The ending hit me somewhere deep.
Thank you so much 🌳
I don't think I have read anything by this author before. I really love Horrorbabble for introducing me to stuff I never read! The noble vampire!
excellent story, nicely done. Thanks for another enjoyable drive home.
TH-cam is a meat grinder. It's one thirty, and put on your channel, and trade your work for sleep. As I listen, I try to figure out what the image is acompaning your reading. I've read this story, and I know Kuttner. Kuttner is good, but you bring out the best in other people's work. You do more then read, but act. Every character is unique, and distinct. Some how you manage to portray each person, with their accent, and gender. Never have you pulled me away from the story with an unnateral sounding character. Other people can narrate, but they fail when it comes to the acting. Then you write your own music, which always fits, and elevates the story. As I listen to your work, I realize that the picture is a key. I don't think anyone on youtube does what you do. You perform, produce, create music, and write origional content. Then you do research, and design themes in the stories you present. No body does what you do, on TH-cam, or anywhere. And yet, you do it so well.
Thank you Kiki - this comment made our day! :) Ian & Jen
Another great job, Ian. As I'm really into Vampyr the video game right now, this is even more awesome for me
Wonderful narration and acting of classic horror: many thanks.
never heard of Henry Kuttner, but this is such a great story, especially as you have recounted it. i would never have believed a vampire would want death, but this story works so well. how many times can a person say thank you? :}
That was a good one!
CONGRATS ON 35K ❗❗❗❗❗upward & onward ❗❗❗❗💃🏃💙 🎈 💣💥
There are not that many vampire stories who stand out . But I know one I never forgot because of the impression it made. It's a story by Peter Schuyler Miller , named "Over the River" . I'm sure you will like it if you don't know it already. All the best.
Thanks Roland - I haven't come across that one before. I'll take a look!
Excellent. Thank you.
beautiful tale. . .
i’ve read many of the comments on your readings and it’s wonderful how much people are enlivened by your voice and being. i don’t know what it is, but even though you are reading weird stuff, people feel safe and restored. have a great time with your career!!! :) 🐈🐾🐕
(n.b. love your own writings, especially the Carnacki one. )
Thanks as always, Alexa! Ian
well done
Even a decent vampire realizes in the end, that he has to be killed in order to stop his bloodlust. Much better than other stories where we can't kill the vampire because he has "feelings."
"and so farewell; I, am about to die"
I love how tortured & sad the Vampire feels to the point of suicide to release the love of his life.
Great work.
This is a great one!
This was fun
You know I wonder if dc comics got inspiration or loosely adapted the I, Vampire from this story, cause there are some similarities with some characters in this story and some of the characters in the comic...
Although not about a vampire, "the judges house" by Bram Stoker is one of my favorite stories of all time and you should read it sometime!
Fine job of narrating. I am Daniel Kuttner, a distant relative of Henry, and also an author,. I have published short stories and poems and just published my first novel, . Maybe someday you will read one.
Cheers!
Great to hear from you, Daniel! Feel free to get in touch via our website: www.horrorbabble.com/
Oh I will enjoy it...
Goood Eeeeevening....

My second time here I (Extremely important please read) I Adore You horrible your voice everything the stories you tell you're the best narrator ever can you do some more vampire stories? I love them I have a feeling I'm one of them I have natural fangs on both sides my doctor dentist kind of thought them down they grew back I also and 50 but I look 20 I don't understand what's happening? So the more I learn is by listening to stories of what I think are my people? This is no joke. I haven't eaten solid food for three years I drink water and I stay healthy. I like blood but I don't try it I'm afraid it will turn me completely? I can still see my reflection although it's blurry I know I have my own soul. I fear if I do drink I lose my soul now I know I wouldn't kill because I drink from animals but still that idea is just repulsive to me I Don't Want to Lose My Soul if you learn of any old wives tales about vampires and things like that maybe you could tell story so I could learn more this all started in puberty my teeth and everything if there was a way I could show you a picture I would but it would come out blurry pray for my soul and thank you for your wonderful stories they helped me a lot👍🏼🖤🕷
Clown
Lolly Parsons. LOL 😉
I do not understand the ending.
The key is the only way to get into the vault. He left it with the guy so once the vampire goes to sleep, he can kill him quickly and end his suffering.
@@rickmaurer8726 oh ok. For some reason I thought that the vampire went outside to catch some rays that morning and that was that. :D
Oooh the first mispronounced word! Wizened is pronounced like wizard as opposed to wise. I am really ancient and it's a word that used to be used a lot but seems to have gone out of common usage. Wrinkly and ancient looking sums it up. I can't help myself btw and any corrections are made in the spirit of constructive criticism rather than having a go. I did notice a couple of others recently but I have heard them pronounced like you did as well as the way I would so I never said anything but, I thought that sough was pronounced like cough or perhaps more of a u sound like enough, like 'suff' and ague was like plague but like I said, I could be wrong with these but my pronunciation of wizened is correct.
Thanks for pointing that one out! Despite our best efforts, occasional mispronunciations do occur. We'll keep an eye out for 'wizened' though, should it strike again! :)
Did he meet Bela Lugosi?
🖤🧛♀️ 🖤
Wow, I'm early.
😆 funny story i am a vampire don't believe me don't ✝ me or u be next to become one of me
