    I have to say, there are few moments in my life when I feel such paradoxically friendly warmth as when I hear the words "Welcome to HorrorBabble"

    Pipe tobacco fits these stories so well! The scent sets the stage and mood for these stories so well. It is a great way to start a story!
    "He rushed me across an automobile-laden road with such recklessness that I feared I should not survive!" This quote is awesome, as is the way you said it!

    Dang, dude got royally screwed by someone he looked up to. Just trying to share a monumental discovery, and ended up in the stone age, or worse. Great story.

    Poor man! Poor fate! If only the main character was a little more patient and attentive! Good, but sad, story.
    Great job, Ian. Thanks!

    Awesome story. They didn't much like writing about everyday people back in those days, every story has some Lord, Dr/University Professor or some other random picked from the nobility. It's as if they thought everyone had 50 servants and an estate with a never-ending supply of coin. Everyday people have some of the most interesting, amazing stories imaginable. Still enjoy them though obviously but it would of made for alot more variation in subject matter. Some authors stories just start sounding the same.

    After so many creepypastas this channel feels like spring water when I'm dying of thirst. Quality at last!
    Warning to all Virgo types and o.c.d. sufferers -the ending is panic inducing.
    I'd love to see this set-up, it sounds better than anything modern even without the special effects. Great story!
