    Very few things in the world are better than a Horror Babble haunted house tale.

      I must admit Mr Gordon that I am very curious to hear you and your partners’ opinion of the ‘Lovecraft Country’ series. I watched the first two episodes and while full of Lovecraft landmarks I can’t say they gave me that transcendent cosmic shudder his books do. Then again I figure there are things books can convey that a show or movie simply can’t no matter how valiant and heartfelt the effort may be. The notion of MR James translated to tv just crossed my mind and that produced the cosmic shudder I mentioned.

    Thorp McClusky seems like such an underrated author, I'd never even heard his name before you guys and now I'm excited to hear a new story by him

      I cannot even find a picture of him online.
      We can find 10,000 pictures of two-bit actors, but none of good authors.

    I've listened to like 100 of your videos so far and it's got to the point where you narrate some of my dreams no matter how weird they are. Love you guys, keep it up!

    Ian, I’m a young published prose poet who has been a fan of your channel for quite some time. I applaud you for researching these writers so their “forgotten stories” might be discovered by future generations. Just imagine if our technology was available during the heyday of Fransworth Wright, Edward Baird, Hugo Gernsback, etc., can you imagine all the stories that would still be available? Anyway keep up the excellent work :)

    That was a hell of a climax, and an excellent ending. This dude is a great writer, and I had never even heard his name before. Kudos to you, Ian, for introducing us to so many great horror writers, who otherwise might not even be remembered in another 20 years. You are guaranteeing that we will remember them. For a long time to come.

    I very much like that the tale ended where it did and then picked back up some time after. Some writers would be compelled to fill in extraneous detail but Thorp didn't.
    Thanks for posting. I'll be listening to you again.

    Your telling of the ghost story lights a campfire in my mind. I see each face around it only partially revealed with light, mostly covered in dancing shadows their macabre masks that each hide a laughing skull 💀 rock on with your bad self! You’re the best, this is my favorite channel on TH-cam

    Hey, I love your channel more than I can say. As a fan of classic horror, finding these videos is like a gold mine. Your voice is perfectly suited to these stories and I sometimes play a little creepy music quietly in the background while I'm listening. I'm sure you get requests all the time, but it can't hurt to mention it. I'd love it if you would do Lovecraft's Horror at Red Hook. Keep up the great work :)
