    I'm listening to this now because, in my hoodie pocket, the electrostatic foil of a York peppermint pattie rubbed my phone just right, twice! Thank you sentient candy foil!

    Hey Ian,
    I just want to say that this is absolutely my favorite channel on TH-cam. I listen to these stories almost every night, and I applaud you for the standard of content that you create. I myself have been wanting to write a short story, and I’m in the process of coming up with a beginning. I have already written the climax, but the rest of the story is what I need to work on. Maybe one day once I’m finished I could send you a draft for you to read on the channel.

    Another amazing Lovecraft reading! Recently began diving into his literature and am now heavily intrigued since listening to your reading of "The Alchemist." He truly knew how to draw a reader into a tale and capture the scenes with rich vivid and eerie details.

      Mash the 6 cups confectioners sugar, vanilla, and potato together into a sort of dough...if it's a bit too dry add a dab of milk, too wet...more sugar...roll out into 1/4 inch sheet on a cold sugared surface. Spread nut butter of choice over the dough...and roll up into a small log. Refrigerate till cold and slice😃! Peanut butter pinwheel candy...keep cool for best consistency. It's an old Southern US recipe I learned from my Cherokee grandmother by adoption. I imagine it was passed on from someone of Polish or German ancestry..now that you mention it...makes sense. Polish Vodka is the best after all. Enjoy! Happy Holidays all!

      I bet Ian never thought we would have a HORRORBABBLERS cooking thread😄😄😄😎😎 These readings work very well when you spend a day in the kitchen. The sausage ball thing is a Bisquick recipe commonly available but we SPICE dat up. A good dark roux is the base for many a good Cajun and Creole recipe....

    Hey ian i was hopeing you could help me find some older readings on your . The old coat i beileve is one and the other involves a man returning to a town at his deceased fathers request to visit family only to find it corrupted by the mythos. I was just wondering if you'd taken them down to redo them or if i over looked them, thank you

      @HorrorBabble  5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Hi Wyatt - The Coat is now on Bandcamp only: horrorbabble.bandcamp.com/album/the-coat
      As for the other... I can't quite put my finger on which story you might be referring to. It's likely to be on Bandcamp though if you have a look through the titles there: horrorbabble.bandcamp.com/audio
      Several of these readings were removed from YT due to potential copyright issues.
