    I would be your biggest fan if you just read these stories yourself. Please be brave and give it a shot. You get some really rare stories that no one else on UA-cam has. Well i really want to hear this story but I'm going to not listen because of the ai voice.

      I completely agree. I won't be finishing this video, or subscribing, but if it was read by an actual person, I'd have subscribed in the first ten minutes. I also realised that the creator has responded to every comment I've seen, except those mentioning the use of an Ai reader. It tells me everything I need to know about them. Recording it themselves would take time and effort. Hiring a narrator would cost hundreds, if not thousands for a story this length. Might I suggest horrorbabble, if you're not already familiar with the channel. The narrator is phenomenal and writes his own work, and covers many great, almost forgotten stories

    This may very well be a decent story... I'll never know because the AI voice-over is impossible to follow, and devoid of any consistency or proper narrative inflection.

    W00t! A long one, nice! Abraham Merritt is a pretty good author. I've read two of his short stories, but had no idea he wrote a mythos tale.
    I shall digest this one during my mandatory insomnia tonight.
