    This is such a wonderful, enjoyable way to expose myself to new literature. I resent not having time to read, largely due to long and frequent car commutes, so this is great to listen to as I drive. I love Ian and Jennifer so much!! Thanks for such quality work!

      Are you in the States Lauren? I can imagine audiobooks working a treat on some of those highways! Thanks for listening. :) Ian

      I've been listening for a few months now, & noticed Ian's been uploading more & frequently lately. really impressive that the quality hasn't decreased one bit w/ the increased quantity

      Thanks guys... we were experiencing a particularly quiet few weeks and so decided to up the output to 5 readings per week for 4 weeks. As of February 5th, we'll be back to 3 per week as normal. We're doing some pretty awesome stuff for Women in Horror Month (February) though, so hopefully there'll still be plenty to keep you entertained! Thanks again for listening, Ian

    Wonderful, this is something new for me. Brilliant job. The subtle ambient sound in the background is a nice touch. I also enjoyed the voice differences you did for the different characters. Thank you very much.

      Thanks for listening Scaredy Cat! He's a tough nut, but thoroughly enjoyable to narrate. Ian

    Was recently lamenting that I ran out of stuff to listen to at work on this channel. So happy for this recent collection of uploads. Fantastic work to both yourself and Jennifer, Ian.

      Thanks again Zrin! I hope there'll be enough for you when we drop back down to 3 readings per week! :) Ian

    This is one of my favourite James stories. It's just so beautifully written.

    I was totally going to suggest some MR James stories (but wanted to wait a bit after Carnacki)! If you want to continue with more of his stories, Casting The Runes is superb!

    • @HorrorBabble

      Thanks for the tip again Harmon! I'll take a look in due course. Ian

    This is definitely the sort of thing I could get into. I've always loved the forest so this strikes a singular chord with me.

    Awesome story, great narration!
    I like how some of the background is divulged late in the story. Everything falls into place once we know this.
    I like this one!

    I love the voice and quality you add to these. Is it possible to get some Ghost train style stories?

    • @HorrorBabble

      Thanks Adam - have you got any examples of the kind of thing you're referring to? Ian

    • @Tazirai

      Something kinda like this www.reddit.com/r/nosleep/comments/4vtvxl/ghost_train/
      Or this
      ua-cam.com/video/5ke63vecDkY/v-deo.html
      Or lastly
      The Signal man by Charles Dickens.

    I've heared stories of warlocks, murderers, blasphemers and unfaithful spouses being left behind as ghosts. But a financial fraud - that's a first...

    Another fantastic reading, but the story itself I found to be rather dull.

    • @HorrorBabble

      Thanks Russ. In my opinion, this collection includes some of James' strongest works: ua-cam.com/video/NYT1awGBPXI/v-deo.html
