This is an ORIGINAL HorrorBabble Production. - บันเทิง
This story's depiction of the Beyond One is the greatest portrayal of a supreme entity that I've ever experienced.
"I hope you enjoy it."
The best reading of the greatest Lovecraft story ever?
It's humanly impossible not to.
This might be the best of all the Lovecraft stories, it feels real and yet surreal. It hits so very close to home at some points.
this channel is massively underrated
Daaammmnn... this is carter’s 2nd outer god...
First Nyarlathtep, now Yog-sothoth?!?
This story blew my damn mind. And excellent reading at that.
This one is often overlooked - but we love it! Thanks for listening! Ian

Thank you so much! This is my favorite Randolf Carter story and you read very well. I just love it!
This one is blowing my mind. All the alternate Randolf Carter selves, doing different things in different times. Love the narration, as everyone notes. Got the cary grant trans-continental accent so smooth and comforting while he hits u with these stories from some kind of deep, dark, genius. I think this one could be slightly slower, if i get one criticism. Lot of crazy stuff coming at a tremendous rate. I find i can better concentrate on what is being said if i kind of just 1000 mile stare out the window. Been loving these! Thank You, kind sir!
Pure poetry, imho! Thank you!!🤘
A superb and cryptic interpretation. Keep up the good work dear sir :)
1:26:39 is unexpectedly hilarious!! Aspinwall was too funny for me, despite his anger! I don't want to spoil it though, but you outdid yourself here, Narrator!
I have to admit, I had trouble with those lines for obvious reasons... But yes, he does sound a little bit like a Monty Python character, doesn't he?! Thanks Morgan. Ian
This story makes me want to develop a strong ability to lucid dream again which oddly enough I used to when detoxing from heavy drinking.
Yep, that toxic nectar made me too dream lively like awake, yet made my waking life one distant dream.....
I, too, have been able to lucid dream since my detox from thc, and have found it to be a great reward for enduring daily life.
Daily meditation became an important part of my program of recovery. I took up a formal practice after reading the rather cosmic treatise Zhuan Falun by Li Hongzhi. Dreaming is not part of that practice, and alcohol and drugs are forbidden. But for those interested in a formal dreaming practice, Castaneda's book "Art of Dreaming" is excellent.
It is a thoight, I should return to practicing such things.
horrorbabble thankyou for all the lovecraft and smilar style stories. literally been saving my sanity.. thankyou
Just a casual chit-chat with Yoggy lol
Yeah, it's just ya' boy, chattin' it up with Yog-Sothoth himself. No biggie.
Yog-Sothoth is definitely the least malevolent of the Outer Gods, at least of those who have minds. After all, He is understanding enough to avoid showing His true self to puny mortals whose minds are limited to the comprehension of realities bound by three dimensions of space and one of time until they are ready.
For example, in the Japanese visual novel _Deus Machina Demonbane_ , the main villain _sacrifices Cthulhu_ in order to summon Yog-Sothoth into his reality. The first thing Yog does when He's summoned? He quickly shifts to a form mortals can comprehend, lest that reality be utterly shattered by His mere presence.
@@JanusHoW it's wild, because ultimately Yog-Sothoth is kind of just... playing with himself? Yoggy's portrayal here makes me think of that phrase that "we are the universe trying to understand itself"
I need a timestamp
To all who committed here. Wonderful person's, dear I say I feel at home bonding with loved ones.
Thank you Ian
Real bloody cool stories. Really bloody good telling.
Great job, Ian!
Anything related to the silver key was always a challenge for me to focus on. I found the middle part to be so out there and all over the place, that it was hard to follow. Your narration made the story easy to follow and make sense. Great job!
Do not get me wrong, the stories are good and interesting, but I can tell Lovecraft worked on them with someone else. They jump around an awful lot.
Your narration of Randolph Carter's uncle is priceless! I really felt like I was in the room with the four parties.
I absolutely adore this story! I've been saving this reading, I know I'll fall asleep though and have to finish later. Here's to lucid dreaming!
I want a modern day astrophysicist/quantum mechanist like Roger Penrose to read this and give his opinion on how HPL was light years ahead of his time on the nature of reality, dimensions, consciousness, and spacetime continuum. It's almost inconceivable that he wrote this, even with the other writer.
"... a fixed point in the dimensional seething..."
Amazing story and brilliant reading!
Very entertaining! Thank you!
Thanks for listening Jon!
An Exellent narrator! 👍🗝🧩
Awesome story loved it
Jeez, have you always been this good?
Ok, now that was a thing.
I can see why Lovecraft didn't do well as a writer during his time. The concepts he touched on in this story were so far ahead of his time that he might as well have been reading Shakespeare to a room full of chimps.
And to think how crazy people went over garbage like Harry Potter. Good grief! Compared to Lovecraft, most modern stuff is only fit for lining a birdcage.
And as always, you did a fabulous job Ian. You are the best!
Trying to grasp the things that happened to Carter in the gates is mind blowing
It is a pity Lovrcraft. Died a pauper, as he was truly the equal of Poe, who may have died of rabies, having ben bitten by a rat.
Great presentation. Since this was before DR Hoffman, I am wondering if lovecraft read Schopenhauer before he wrote this.
Thanks Tim - I imagine Lovecraft was indeed familiar with Schopenhauer. Perhaps someone here on YT can expand on this? Ian
I miss this intro sooooooooooooooooooooooooo much.
I know you're too honorable to succumb to brides, but I will subscribe to your max level Patreon if you bring it back on a semi regular basis.
I agree. The classic openings are my favourite ❤
The Entity Known as Randolph Carter also has a Mike Meyers facet that makes him want to dress up like an indian guy
What is quantum, is quantum. Multidimensional love 🙏🏽🎩🌹
What was the saying again? Yog-Sothoth is the gate, Yog-Sothoth is the key to the gate, Yog-Sothoth is the guardian of the gate?
Think you've nailed it, Duchess.
46:00 This is what Rick is always saying! :D
Enthusiastic consumer here :) Please can you say where the picture used for this reading was taken? and also.... greetings from Scotland!
Hi Kath! The image was taken in Lever Park in Rivington, Lancashire. Edited slightly of course. :) Ian
Hp lovecraft had dmt before it was cool
The Man of Truth is ridden to All is One. The Man of Truth knows that illusion is the one reality, and that substance is the great imposter!
H.P Lovecraft.
Is this the same clock Titus Crow has possession of in the Lumley stories?
Probably my favorite Lovecraft story, mostly due to how it interprets Yog-Sothoth, and perhaps the other Outer Gods (except Nyarlathotep) by extension. The idea of them being "archetypes", and with everything that ever was, is and will be being just one of a countless number of facets of them really takes away much of their malevolence for me. But perhaps it was an even more terrifying concept to the highly conservative Lovecraft...the idea of actually being the same as the horrible alien monsters that lurk beyond all known spacetimes - which he equated with pretty much anyone who wasn't a white Anglo-Saxon from Providence, Rhode Island - seems to terrify social conservatives.
doesnt the carter serie continiu in out of eons ? swami chandraputra whas mentsion in there
He appears in that story, but only as a reference. The Carter Series follows the stories in which he is the protagonist.
Carter went on a permanent DMT trip.
So, some alien wizard got his body hijacked by a guy from Earth who was too stupid and arrogant to check whether he had his return ticket on him?
Must have sucked to be Zkauba in all of this.
At some point he suddenly woke up on Earth, to which he had been abducted, surrounded by more of those pale, soft, hideous Earth-dwellers. He cursed at them and tried to make sense of his situation.
Thankfully, he found his metal envelope hidden in a time-meter close to him.
But when he returned to Yaddith, it had been taken over by bholes!
Oh, the horror!
What is that opening piano music?
Hello! That'll be 'Lovecraft; Into the Abyss', which I wrote for the channel. You can listen to it in full here: th-cam.com/video/aoyHuj2IssM/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for listening! Ian
wow
Just five minutes ago, I googled “overlooked Lovecraft stories” because I was sure I’d heard them all. Came back to TH-cam and immediately noticed this one near the top of my recommendations. Never heard of it.
Is google spying on me? 😟
yes
Yup. All day every day.
Yup that's dmt for sure

How edgy of you
Lovecraft got dat N word pass
Ridiculous plot. Lovecraft never really wanted to collaborate on this with Price, who egged him on.
