this makes me feel like i just inherited an old countryside estate from my distant grandmother, and its my first day there. its raining and foggy and im all alone. some how, the fire place is lit and dinner is set.
The flickering shadows of the whispering abyss: ... _you’re welcome_ ....
@@luminoustorus548
Upon hearing the whisper, your eyes widen and scan the room, looking to see if you may not be all alone after all. However, with no one in sight, you take a deep breath and move to the table to investigate. Everything is placed so nicely.... Combined with the gentle heat coming from the hearth, this nice setting creates a lovely mood, and you can't help but smile.
.... Maybe, just maybe, moving here was a good decision after all.

now that's creepypasta material right there
@ETPS while standing there you take your first tentative bite from one of the dishes, and gasp with shock.... never before have you tasted anything so delicious! Perhaps it has something to do with that odd movement you occasionally catch flitting about around the dishes and in your peripheral... no no that must be your eyes adjusting to the new ambience. You sink gratefully into the ornate, plushly padded dining chair. After dinner you discover the power has yet to be turned on and so, grabbing a candle you head upstairs. Minus your tiny sphere of light all is inky black wandering along the groaning floorboards of the hallway, until you begin to make out a glow coming from a far door on the right. Pushing open the cracked door and peeking in you are astonished to behold a massive bathing room and a full, somehow still steaming bath surrounded by many lit candles upon the edge and decoratively placed about the floor and steps around it. The scent in the room is most soothing, but again there is no one at all the be found... within the the darkest corners of the room you swear the flickering shadows seem to laugh...
This playlist makes me feel like what its like to move from London after inheriting your distant and slightly eccentric uncles house, only to find a bizarre and labyrinthine complex of an estate out on the moors where it never stops raining and you cant for the life of you escape that clicking clock! That damn, never ending, clicking, clicking, clicking of the clock! Like its counting down our final days, like its counting down the time until we all inevitably descend into that long good night! Always, always reminding you of the shortness of life! The life you took! The life you took in Africa! I SEE THEM IN MY DREAMS! I SEE THEM WATCHING ON THE MOORS! STOP STARING, STOP STARING, IT WASN'T ME WHO PULLED THE TRIGGER! IT WASN'T ME WHO KILLED THE BOY! *OH GOD! OH GOD! WHAT HAVE I BECOME!*

Without music: a bored teenager trying to write a horror story
With music: *a young lady looks up at the dark night, watched the full moon as she carefully dips the pen into the thick black ink, pouring the darkness of her thoughts on the rough paper she held, the darkness that took over the yellow page, in form of that pure, black ink.*

I used to be a normal Swedish 16 year old boy. Now I am a soldier in the Great Northern War, resting in an abandoned farmhouse before tomorrow's journey towards Moscow. Something is off, though, I can feel it. The creaking of the stairs can't simply be the cold northern wind, can it?

I hope someone continues this like the last comment
Dude get the f**k out of there!!!!!
This is so cool!! May I add to it?
Tis not the wind, but the spirit of someone once in the same position as you. They're warning you. Do not embark on your journey, for a truly perilous road stretches before you.
I feel you. I also happened to be a swedish 16 year old. Now I’m looking through the window out to what used to be my hometown before the plague. The silence is deafening. My baby sister is too cold and too still. Walking on the street has never been so lonely and yet never so full of...something. Not life, not death. They’re filled with the very beings of my late friends and neighbors. Oh the curse of immortality

Beneath the moon's pale glow
A shadow creeps, so slow
Through the mist it lingers
A presence felt with icy fingers
Whispers fill the night
A haunting, spectral sight
Trembling, you take a step
Into the darkness, where shadows wept
A chill runs down your spine
As the wind begins to whine
The shadows stretch and grow
Your fears begin to show
Is it all just in your head?
Or are the spirits of the dead
Drawing ever closer now
With a cold and quiet vow
You cannot run, you cannot hide
As the darkness swallows your pride
The shadows take you, one by one
Until the night's dark work is done.
Wow, man this good.
As a writer myself, I think I'd actually like reading a horror book written by you. Under an ambience video such as this however, I think these sort of comments are just cringe in general.

It reminds me of a dream I had in my childhood.
I was eating apples. A big sweet juicy apple, green with red.
It was soo good.
Then I took one more. Make a bite, swollowed, and look at it. And I was holding an eye in my hand.
Looked at the rest of them. And there were no apples.
Will never forget it.
Damn, your dream can be turned into a horror comic. Can I borrow your childhood dream then turn it into something that people might like? I'll give you credit for sure.
that shit sounds so disturbing- i love it.
I always listen to this while writing. I write a lot of horror so this really sets the mood. I started listening to it while reading The Long Walk.

"Silent Hill", it reminds me that one time I was lost, in a the most beautiful rolling hills I had ever seen, I had gotten lost there because I was young, and thought it would be a enjoyable thing to do, to just... walk into the hills, and it was. The lower parts of the hill were shallow, not steep, the high parts peaked at a perfect flat, with no unexpected edge or depression. The only unexpected part about being there was the constant feeling of being watched but I couldn't be bothered, after all I was just a small child with a care free mind. After being there for over 5 hours I finally found a road, recognized the street, and was able to get to the parking lot where my mom had parked, there's this thing I do sometimes where I'll just stare back at where we leave from, I don't know why I do it but I do it every time I leave from somewhere I liked, so when I got in the back seat of the car and just turned around to stare my mom wasn't surprised at all, but I was, because when I focused just hard enough, I swear I saw someone's head peaking over the edge of a hill staring directly at me, silently watching.

Me without *athmospheric gothic music* : meh it's raining outside
Me with *athmospheric gothic music* :
_All around me tears drip from the eaves and flood the gutters, washing the filth away._
_Grey sky like great battleships,.clouds colliding with one another._
_Rain falls down on the World..._
Hahah I love this
_The ink-stained sky above was freckled with a collection of flaxen constellations that winked at the full moon swimming in the depths of the navy pool. The blushing pink and soft orange hues of the fleeting sunset were long forgotten as I pressed a hand to the cold window. The old grandfather clock chimed, singing it’s broken ballad and announcing that it had struck 12am. I thought back to how the rain had been so insistent on inviting itself in, pounding its angry fists against the windows and roof. It’s winds yelled as it pleaded and begged to get inside. I just could’ve sworn that it’s calls sounded much more human this time._

"Twelve dreams for the red queen under crown of stone
That she may linger longer with eyes kept closed
Eleven thorns blooming from her troubled brow
Awaiting the next harvest to be gleaned at brisk springs
Ten copper veins ripped from the belly of the earth
Melted into tears flowing towards banished brothers
Nine glorious pyres on the scorched plain
To punish those whose hands were slow to obey
Eight voracious beasts born from eight restless nights
Their backs hardened by their race with the sun
Seven notes of warning in the summer sky
Compelling child to shielded sheets of sleep
Six watchers bent on the hunting trails
Shadows of their spears trace the tired furrows
Five houses to fall before song’s end
Then five more reborn from their blackened ashes
Four nails piercing the flesh of the sinner
Restlessly hung to the dark wood of his crimes
Three books scribbled by pen of the dancer
Who refuses to answer the call of the abyss
Two giant rival snakes slither in ageless forest
Coiled to the bones of mortals destined for the grave
One prayer for the summoned called by this song
Child born from darkness whose path he must find."
"But now think about this: vampires themselves have no idea of what this creature could be. Now that’s a frightening idea… We may be in presence of something so old that only small hints of its existence can be found through eons.
If this is true, we, as Brothers of Saint Paul, need to investigate this entity, for it could help us understand the forgotten origin of vampires. As a reminder, I add to this letter a transcription of the only written evidence we possess concerning the horned vampire, the odd poem entitled “The Dreams of the Red Queen”, supposedly composed by this entity. According to some vampire testimonies, this creature has sometimes been heard singing it while briefly appearing somewhere in Great Britain. I invite all of our Brothers to study this text and consider it a testament of forgotten history."

*Me listening to this music:*
The sun of yesterday has faded into dark ominous clouds that breathe in the new mornings’ air. Each breath releases thousands of raindrops upon the unsuspecting houses below. The light pitter-patter, reminiscent of quiet radio static, echos through the halls of homes littered throughout this corner of suburbia. As the church bells sound, alerting residents of the dawn, the once sleepy town becomes lively.

I now embrace the dark
As she wraps me in black tears
Fully clothing on me
All the scars I wear
But in this darkness I see
A black, sombre stare
Unsurprisingly it seems to be
A reflection of mine filled with fear
Looking back with eyes austere
Chained in black ecstasy
But allowed to wander black stairs
Forbidden to wander lit halls free
The reflection looks at me
With a face lassitude has seared
Still chained in black ecstasy
Forbidden to wander lit halls free
But I still lovingly embrace the dark
With black tears and black glee

The absolute tragedy of them 🦅
_Shrouded in darkness, the soul's natural slumber enveloped me entirely. My sleep, however, was without dreams, a simple lack of consciousness untainted by the mind's fabrications. Then, suddenly, the harbinger of steel and glass ripped me violently from this slumber, casting me into the world of the living to fend for myself yet again, until the eternal darkness claims my soul, my memory becoming a mere fragment of time, a whisper in history._
In other words, I was sleeping but then my alarm clock went and I was sad
This is what I feel inside. This is the sound of my thoughts, the voice within me, which sooths and comforts after a night of violence.

Well I am glad that I am not alone...
woah ur so quirky dude
Normally I just let these comments go, but why on earth would this hypothetical person NOT get you listening to dark and sad music? At what point did this become outlandish or strange? It's music; classic, popular, and perfectly suited to listening to. It doesn't even have any harsh sounds or odd beats. Multiple songs here come from classic video games or popular modern movies. It's pretty tame, especially for dark music. It's not unusual to listen to this kind of music at all. You aren't a freak for it, and you aren't doing anything wrong or strange. You are, however, quite strange in your insistence that it's somehow hard to get that someone would listen to this. Other people enjoy music, often with odd or uncommon choices sprinkled into more common ones. My personal playlist contains Beethoven, Buckethead, ACDC, Psyclon Nine, Eisenfunk, The Prodigy, Metallica, Vocaloid, and the Silent Hill, Katamari Damacy, and Fall Guys soundtracks. There is no reason that someone would not get you for listening to this, or that this would either set you apart as special and unique or isolate you as strange and grotesque. It's music, pure and simple, and anyone can like it. Raise your head and enjoy it, loud and proud, because you aren't alone in loving this music -- I've been listening to one dark track or another for almost a decade now.
Now, if you were in the comments of Fear Garden, that really weird and harsh Vocaloid song (which, trust me, isn't the weirdest or harshest), I would one hundred percent agree with you that it's unusual and hard to "get"... but this? Ain't nothin'. ;)
I need help finding more music like this. This playlist is incredible and is pretty cohesive despite the variety of sources. Please make another video, a sequel to this one!
The 3rd song is actually called "Never forgive me, never forget me" on the silent hill 3 soundtrack by Akira Yamaoka. 😊

6:00 am to read? I could never. As an owl person I ~proudly~ sleep at 5:00 am
I was born deaf. It really never bothered me anyways. I could always just focus on whatever I wanted to do, without distractions. Oftenly my friends would write to me about stuff they heard in videos on the internet, so I could "hear it with them". Whenever I had the time for it, I locked myself in my room and closed my window, so no light could enter the place. It felt amazing to just bathe in the complete silence, only distrubed when one of my parents opened the door to call me for lunch or dinner. But then I moved away, to another house, in another city, in another country. That was also my first time living alone. Without friends or family at home to help me with sounds I couldn't hear, I developed a constant need for all the lights in the house to be on so I could navigate safetly in my own home. Not because I was afraid of the dark, no.
But because I had no clue about who was turning the lights off everytime I left a room.

Whenever I’m home alone late at night, and I know no one is coming home until the next morning, I like to have this music playing in the background. It adds dramas and intrigue to otherwise dull nights, with the added bonus that whenever someone tries to break in, they feel equally unsettled.
i would leave the house immediately tf
note to self: along with my other security, leave unsetteling classical music playing when I leave the house
I truly admire this comment
Listening to this while writing a dark love story with two people interested in gothic abandoned churches, medieval libraries, and eventually dancing in an empty ballroom with this type of music playing in the background.
I listen to this every time I read any kind of scary book, helps me get into the spooky mood.
The painting of the woman with the skull is by Nicola Samori. His artwork is of such a wonderfully dark and macabre beauty, and this particular image matches this great soundtrack perfectly!
Thank you for writing.
Isnt it Salome with John baptist skull?
What's the painting called?
It's ugly
@@bubbytumby8509 Which bit?
I get exactly what the person meant with "Why do horror games sound so beautiful?" Music is a wondrous thing, conveying different emotions and all feel so unique, some get you kicking through the day, others make you sad, others give you a sense of melancholy. Some make you relaxed. Some music makes you scared or terrified other music is ok. Some music opens gateways to different worlds just like books and paintings and creative things. Some combine everything into one. And this type of music has something about it, that is so hard to describe and yet what you can't put into words everyone knows what you mean, because everyone feels it, the ambience, the peace and fear combined, the security in darkness. It's beautiful. I absolutely love to listen to this music late in the evening, reading a book or just in a moment of peace where I space out and daydream, maybe like on bus rides on a rainy cloudy day. I cannot put into words what everyone here is feeling, but I do know it's beautiful. And that's the only word that's really needed.
normally we fear when not feeling secure, unstill. But this music makes you feel fearful and secure and peaceful at the same time. It's like a large space has opened up in a part of your mind you normally can't access.
You are the villain, you chase your whole life to be the center, be the hero, but you are a villain now. This is what the music makes me feel.
It makes me feel like I don't matter, that I, who I think is the center, has now become secondary. Which is the same feeling when I feel deep levels of love.
Great music.... I was just reading my book the Iliad and with this music at the background really got to me when Hector says, I quote "No one is going to send me down to Hades before my time, though death itself, I think. Is something no man, coward or hero, can escape, once he has come into this world."
I just happened to be reading while this was playing. I was reading about dreams. The fact that I can actually read in my dreams when everyone says you can't. I was looking up why I can. This music made reading about it even more interesting. It provided a nice atmosphere
yeah sometimes I also able to read in my dream...
"Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before."
--- Edgar Allan Poe, The Raven
axelXkane one of my fave quotes by him. His writing is so good.
Edgar Allan Poe "The Raven"
Loki knew that before looking at the bottom of the comment, lol says a lot about me
NEVERMORE...
He who steady contemplates the abyss, *becomes* it
...Peering
Long I stood there
Wondering
Fearing
Doubting
Dreaming...

I heard about you from my English listening tasks actually, your commentary here is out of the blue, not that I’m judging anyone’s tastes, I’m happy to stumble upon your channel again, I’ll happily rewatch some videos!
Digital grandma has some internet skills! Cool to see.
She stared and stared at the apartment that was directly across from hers. Many years ago, she would have looked at it with deep regret and a heavy heart, but now it simply symbolized a mystery that lay in the depths of her mind and chained her thoughts, always demanding to be solved. After all, it was in that apartment that her brother tasted his last breaths before he plunged the kitchen knife into his heart and silenced its beats. That night, he might have killed himself and ended his misery, but he began the misery of countless others..his parents, for one, who had always held a special love for their son, were more than heartbroken. Their health dwindled quickly and it was not more than half a year later that the burden of their grief was heavier than they could bear. It is said that their last words were a plea to God begging him for the forgiveness of their children...However that wasn’t what puzzled his sister Cathy and kept her awake all those months, desperate for an answer. She never believed the story of her brother’s suicide. She couldn’t accept it even after all those years. No one took her seriously when she suggested that someone might have taken her brother’s life, in fact they looked at her in a rather incredulous way...as if she was crazy for even insinuating the idea. Cathy, now standing at the door of her brother’s apartment, shakily pressed the key into the lock and turned...one time...two times...three times and it was open. She walked slowly inside, each step heavier than the last. Dirty, old, and small is what the place could have been described as. Tears dropped as the memories came through. As she walked into the kitchen, her eyes widened and her breath cut short as she saw the kitchen knife. The kitchen knife that was spluttered with dried blood, no doubt the last drops of blood her brother shed. The knot that had formed in her brain was finally beginning to untie...she began to remember, remember, remember what her mind had hid from itself. She remembered that night. She remembered the kitchen knife. And most importantly, she remembered how she had taken the kitchen knife and plunged it straight into her brother’s heart.
I searched “music to listen to while reading horror manga” and I’m into it. I now feel like listening to this every morning getting ready and while on my daily commute, so it’s like I’m the protagonist in my own sinister horror movie
Studying astrophysics here makes me think about how would be searching for hidden laws of an hostile universe, dominated by lifeless freezing emptiness, strange forms of matter and energy beyond human comprehension, deadly voids that open up to unknown dimensions and... *_WAIT_*
What?
@sadman sad Right where?
Do we Actually know where we are?
That reminds me of a recurring dream, maybe nightmare, of floating in a dark recess of some universe thousands of light years from ours. The sense of dread I feel is like nothing I've felt in waking life. There is a giant, Cyclopean planet or mass in my immediate view and I feel as if it is pulling me in. I had this dream for a few years when I was in middle to high school. It has haunted me ever since and your words brought me back to that dream.
Before listening: just a random American guy.
After listening: I'm 867 years old and still look 32....and the only way my life continues is if i take life from another. Oh, and i live in a massive estate mansion in Romania or something.
Esti un vampir am ghicit🤣🤣🤣
do you happen to own an ageing portrait of yourself hidden in an attic somewhere?
Need a roommate to help with the mortgage?
This makes me feel like I’m walking through a museum. An endless one made of wood, and all that there is at the end is one single painting giving off a yellow light. I have no idea what it holds, and I never will. And also it’s funky, boy! Good song(s)
There are many playlists available but this is the one I return to over and over again. Perfection. I wish there could be a follow up.
K E N O P S I A: ETYMOLOGY: From Greek, kenosis "emptiness" + opsia "seeing" kenopsia, n. the eerie, forlorn atmosphere of a place that's usually bustling with people but is now abandoned and quiet-a school hallway in the evening, an unlit office on a weekend, vacant fairgrounds-an emotional afterimage that makes it seem not just empty but hyper-empty, with a total population in the negative, who are so conspicuously absent they glow like neon signs.

Played this to my pet squid, now he's a Great One.

Literally reading the Call of Cthulhu to this right now.

*Fear the old blood*
You are a genius.
The artist; Nicola Samori is one of my favorites of all time. I like to scroll through google images of his work while listening to this. Haunting and beautiful would be an understatement
Reading 'The Fall of the House of Usher' with this in the background. Shivers are running down my spine and it's fantastic
"That is not dead which can eternal lie, And with strange aeons even death may die"

I don’t understand the quote

@Leonel Garcia you need to calm the f down dude 😂😂😂
I knew it was from Lovecraft before even reading it is from Lovecraft.
"This spot marks our grave, but you may rest here too, if you would like"
Nice
Wouldn't mind if I do
Hand it over.. that thing.. your ATMOSPHERIC GOTHIC HORROR READING MUSIC | H.P Lovecraft, Stephen King, Edgar Allen Poe.
Look at the sky... it burns...
Twins
In my room in the dark looking out my window watching the lightning strick the thunder rumble the smell of the rain it's soo peaceful as I'm hypnotized by this beautiful music.
Always and forever my favorite playlist for writing horror.
50 shadows of Grey now feels like what it is, the macabre story about a rich man who physically and emotionally abuse his young secretary
Well... is that the real story?
Pretty much, but it was easy to market as erotica because the male protagonist was rich, hung, and attractive. If Grey had been fat slob in a bachelor pad then the story would have been classified as 'horror'... if it could have even been published with those changes.
You mean the actual story LMAO
It is actually. But I guess being rich makes it okay?
That’s pretty much how it goes lol
When you tried to kill that spider days ago, now appear on your chest..staring at you and the music start
And then he begins his monologue about taking over the world and killing all your loved ones... x_x [*]
Home Alone.... Harry and Marv

Honestly the best playlist for reading out there, I love this.
I’m listening to this almost midnight while reading a horror/detective mystery sort of book.
"If he be Mr. Hyde, I shall be Mr. Seek!"
Nice one
Such a great book.
Nice reference my dude
Ah, I see you're a man of culture as well.
You people should check the musical ! The story is quite different from the novel as it follows multiple characters' perspectives but it's awesome nontheless
Ik it’s from the book but my first thought was the kdrama 💀
I once feared the dark. The lack of sight terrified me. A good friend once told me that I should love and cherish it because one day, I might find the darkness to be my only friend.
I dismissed her reasoning, thinking it to be folly. The times when all light was gone were cold, and I never knew what was around me because I was blind; I was blind to the beauty around me, the beauty of feeling, hearing, and breathing in my surroundings.
This, I now see, was foolish. The darkness is warm and comforting. What I didn’t know before was that I can see in the black. The beauty of imagination, of seeing in my mind’s eye wondrous things I both crave and dread. Beautiful and terrible demons dance around me, urging me to explore this new world.
Now, I see clearly what my friend meant. My family is gone, my world is overtaken by what one might call evil - a force that I cannot see. Shadows cover what once was a bright world. All light has dispersed, but earthly cares have left me. The gloom is soft, cozy, and soothing. I live to serve it, to continue surviving underneath its warm blanketing depths. Farewell, my friends, for Dawn has come and I shall soon fade with the Night.
Oh my god, I love this!
Yeah man splinter cell’s great😉
did you write this or where is it from?
@@mara-vq9eo I wrote it.
@Adrijana Radosevic Do you guys think this actually happened to me? This was just a dramatic not-quite-poem thingy.
My soul rejoices with these pleasant melodic vibrations......
this is so wonderful. just the right mix of mystery, inspiration and creeps. love it
Imagination is humans' only superpower. Children's are stronger than most adults. The people they call crazy live a different reality to help them cope with every day, boring-ass life.
Imagination is a superpower. Use it.
I'm just over here vibing and memorizing Edgar Allen Poe's Tell Tale Heart
As a person of culture should be doing. Proud of you :)
Memorizing? Holy shit
I’m trying to memorize Annabel lee … an entire story is quite a feat! Good luck and good taste
that is an amazing piece of work. have you succeeded?
I've been working on...The Raven.
No narrorates like Sir Christopher Lee.
This is beautiful, thank you for putting this together ❤
reading The Sandman while listening to this music is one of the best experiences I've ever had
