- "The Cthulhu Mythos" is a system of entities, books, and locations created by H. P. Lovecraft.
"HorrorBabble's Cthulhu Mythos" adheres to "Lovecraft: A Look Behind the Cthulhu Mythos" by Lin Carter, whose requirement for including a story was that it must "present us with a significant item of information about the background lore of the Mythos, thus contributing important information to a common body of lore."

FAQ regarding the exclusion of "The Mound": When Carter published his book in 1972, The Mound was still to be unearthed in its entirety (the original text was finally published in 1989). This collection follows Carter's 1972 list of Cthulhu Mythos stories.
This collection was recorded over a period of 3 years, from November 2015 through to September 2018.

Gotta pin this to the top
@@cmillerpa33 Thanks -- looks like it had been unpinned for some reason.
Thank you so much for updating this! This is one of my favorite videos to just put on when I study.
@@cmillerpa33 this inspired me to create Cthulhu animation in my channel
I’m impressed. It’s not every day you see a 22 hour video. This must have been a nightmare to upload...
Tired and cynical I thought you couldn’t even upload something that loooooooooooooooonnnnnnnnnngggggg
I wonder how long the rendering process took...
Uploading this would give me nightmares. Lol
Don't forget the editing and recording process
nice pfp
I have dyslexia. Every time I have tried to read Lovecraft I would get confused, his flowery language is a cruel word maze to my eyes and brain. Having it read to me makes it completely understandable! Thank you for your wonderful work on this channel!
And i’m just a lazy asshole, Thx from me too. Great Upload
Jamie Pritchard Was about to say this. Rates about a 7 on a scale of 1 to Shakespeare.
Don't feel bad. It can be challenging even for those of us who aren't dyslexic. Our language is changing and evolving, (as it always does) so much so that we are starting to stray from what this once was. It's slowly becoming a foreign language.
Im right there with ya. Dyslexic and a lovecraftian lover but geez you put it right, "a maze to the eyes and brain."
I'm also dyslexic and had no problems with reading, but that might've been because I've read it in my native language, English original, though having technically the same word meaning, must have different text and word construction. I'm tempted to try and read it in English if I can find it online to see it for myself ☺️
When mom says you can watch one more video before bed.
True
Oooooooofffffffffff

@@James-zn4jl What?
I work in retail, and this is going to make my 12 hour shifts a lot easier. The solitary job of stacking shelf's during a pandemic over night with the old ones whispers in my ear. Thank you, you've earned my sub.
This is me 100%
can relate but with school work
Thank you for your hard work. This pandemic is bad enough, but it could be ever so much worse if it weren't for people like you, sticking to their tasks no matter what.
I started listening to it last night on my overnight tag shift. I'd always avoided Lovecraft, but not too terrified yet.
Are you having insomnia though? I'd suggest listening to this after not sleeping for 48 hours, preferably at night ..alone, stacking shelves

“Complete Cthulhu mythos in 22 minutes? Must be a pretty concise review”
... “oh okay”
Um 22 hours..
@@longgone696 the joke is before the video, they thought it was 22 minutes long as you don't see many 22 hour videos, and the "oh okay" was them realizing it was in fact not a concise review but a reading of all the cthulhu mythos

You know, just so you don't confuse it with John Crumpton's Necronomicon.

I’ve had a terrible cold for the past few days. i’ve been laying in bed falling in an out of sleep with this video playing in the background. This video, in combination with my fevered mind, have given me to most intense twisted dreams ive had in quite some time. It almost makes having a cold fun. Thanks Ian!
It doesn't sound like fun - but I'll take your word for it hk! Get well soon. Ian
"Cthulhu". "Bless you, would you like a hankie?"

It’s my sleepover and I’m choosing the movie.
Hahaha 😂😂
Now I finally have something to put as background while we dine this Chistmas, thanks!!
Sounds like my kind of Christmas, Yuri! Ian
Whomever is reading, their voice fits wonderfully with Lovecrafts works. 👏👏👏
Thanks!
Its Ian Gordon mostly. Theres a few other voices sprinkled in. This dude has the most relaxing voice ive ever heard. Ive had some wild dreams since i found this channel.
It really is shockingly good
@@tomtom86004 great voice for sure, though I am very partial to quinns ideas a former asoiaf channel thats switched to sci fi and inbetween got me hooked on lovecraft after I used to avoid it over the authors known very prevelent racism. Some stories I can not stand if its like everywhere, but in mn others I can ignore it as that character just being an ahole
The narration is incredible. I consume audiobooks like crazy so Ive suffered through countless awkward narrations of all kinds of stories. This is one of the best narrations Ive ever had the pleasure to experience!
Thank you!
You know what, I like some of the black library stuff. The Horus heresy and side stories are mostly narrated Pretty well
Little known fact: 'The Mountains of Madness' was the direct inspiration for the "Happy Feet" screenplay 😮😂😊❤

I started reading the Cthulhu mythos when i was 13 years old. Now, since i found this, I sleep to it and my dreams are so interesting.
*Thank you HorrorBabble.*
Holy crap, I think the length of this video counts as an Elder Being. Absolutely stellar. ;) Thanks for this guys.
The uncountable eons of cosmic age relative to our lifespan really is equivalent to 11/12s of a day relative to online time ;)
:-)
Bed time stories just hit a new level completely for me.
I put this on before going to sleep and the radio parts in At the Mountains of Madness scared me awake. XD
ShroomyK for me it was dozing off towards the end of whisperer in darkness when the mechanical voices starting discussing...things. Wide awake!
Hello Ian Gordon. You did an excellent job reading these Lovecraft stories for us all to enjoy. It isn't easy reading Lovecraft either silently or especially aloud. However, you captured the particular tone of him very well. I'm totally blind, and have been reading audio books most of my life. Thanks again for such a great treat for us all to enjoy.
Glad you enjoyed it, Joshua!
Hope you are doing good Joshua!
I love this namely because I can sleep to this and wake up with it still playing. I have night terrors that get BAD when I'm in a silent room so I have to have some kind of noise playing. Music is difficult due to tune and beat so audiobooks are usually my go-to, but many aren't long enough and due to being on mobil, cannot be looped.
So yeah, I appreciate the effort that I know went into this long-AF video and absolutely love all those that did this.
i don't know if you like comic books, but im the same way so horrorbabble and comic's explained are my go to for the same reason, they also havce 8 plus hr videos
First half of my life i suffered with those, maybe it was age or maybe it was gaining some control over overwhelming life situations, but the night terrors passed. Wont be forever ✌️ i dont dream instead, but i have silence in my sleep now, no weird invasive stress injections and desperate scenarios. (Honestly i think it was making a change in my life and finding some real stability, feels like that was it, and they do pop back up in heavy stress situations, just nearly never). I wish you well, know its horrible and beds are not designed for us. ..where are the mattresses and pillows with fans built in 😅 Get well soon 🙂
Sending Love ❤️...RoseaBee...Are you single? 😊❤️
@@nickadams1519 ewww just ewww
there is something so comforting about listening to horror when one has some time of anxiety disorder ^^
lovecraft, a voice from darkness, the magnus archives, mordeo if only they did not bomb it with adds, dracula, frankenstein, the mistholm museum of mystery, morbidity and mortality, . . . .
and if there is something that is not long enough I often loop it. my favorite lovecrafft stories "the case charles dexter ward" and "the thing on the doorstep for example
What a phenomenal upload. I've always wanted to get into Lovecraft, but know I wouldn't make time to read it. Listening while I do house work was absolutely perfect for me, and the quality of this narration is exceptional. I'll be buying some merch as a show of gratitude, thank you so much for this.
Thanks for listening, Bryan!
You're doing the Dark Lord's work.
Thanks XD

@@lordjimyjamjaroo7689 and eat his flesh!
Now that winter is over I started taking 2-mile walks every evening, after sundown. Listening to this while I walk through the shadowy parks and trails of my small town
The narration here is better than the narration in the Google audio book I paid for lol.
This series is beyond description. Only in a state of utter madness can one possibly grasp a fraction of its hideous unimaginable countenance.
Lol does anyone else listen to this EVERY SINGLE NIGHT? I have the best dreams. I'm going to take the view count to a 100k.
Why does the narrator sound like Ian McDarmid? I almost expect him to unexpectedly say: “did you ever hear The Tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise?”😂😂😂
"Good...!"
A 22 hour hp marathon read by Ian Gordon?... Ian, if we did that your fans would all be quivering mounds of jelly...
He didnt read it all in one go. Refer to description.
Pat, Bob Neufeld would be infinitely better
Who scored then 😄🤭
This guy is still hearting comments from only a few days ago on a video from 2018! What?!
Also, I watched the whole video over the course of roughly 5 days...
If we see 'em, we heart 'em! Thanks for listening! Ian
Aiming for a 2 day finish myself. ;3
Used this to go to sleep with for about a month now. Kudos .
Me too. I cant stay wake. Isnt this supposed to be horror?
But I cant, I just know bits of it now because I slept trough half
of it.
Me too! I’ve been doing this for a while now. Works great 👍
It's wonderful to go to sleep
Me too. Ian's readings are the only way i can sleep anymore, sadly enough. I'm broken. For good, I'm afraid. But oh well, I'll finish this hopefully...
Man, the combination of your voice and the slightly grainy, scratchy recording is just... perfect for this sort of story. You have become the voice in my head when I read Lovecraft.
Great contribution to the Lovecraftian community
I finally finished this masterpiece collection of tales. Ian, you outdid yourself on this feat. There are probably no words to describe Lovecraft's art of storytelling but genius. Thank you so very much.♡
Ian fucking Gordon.the voice.the menace.freaky bastard.this is how Lovecraft should be told.looking forward to my nightmares.amazing upload.thanks Mr Gordon.
When listing at night I find that curling up with a puppy is effective at helping to quell the rising madness within my mind
Only one word to describe both author and narrator: masterful.
I think this is such a fantastic beast of a video, as remarkable in content as it is in scope and style and quality. And to think that not too many years ago the best way to listen to Lovecraft was downloading scratchy cassette rips. Thanks Ian!
Among the best horror ever set to paper. You who took the care to assemble such a voluminous tomb have ensured its endurance for decades to come. My sincere compliments.
I love listening your readings and playing Cryo Chamber's Lovecraft inspired dark ambient music low in the background. Azathoth, Cthulhu, Shub-Niggurath, Nyarlathotep, Yog-Sothoth makes for super creepy background dread.
I use these tracks (and others. Try An Index Of Metals, by Fripp&Eno) for my ttrpg Call of Cthulhu.
This is a life saver for long car rides, particularly for someone with motion sickness like me
Christmas comes early! Thank you so much HorrorBabble.
thanks for reminding me that ahenobarbus henoceid exists
My dude I hope you understand the real appreciation I have for all this work you did. this is incredible I've been looking for exactly this for so long.
Whisperer in darkness the story I thought I wouldn't like but fell in love with
My mind reeled and grasped for purchase when I pondered the amount of time it must of taken to upload this eldritch madness.
How I admire the stalwart dedication to spend this much of one's life to sharing grand literature for the unaquainted to listen to, and for the rest of us to enjoy.....only to be "devalued and cast aside"..,and yet....
Thank you Ian and Jennifer....so so much.
I am beginning this epic in short sequences. Thank you for all the time that it took to record these tales Ian.
Thanks again, Amy - enjoy!
So...the talented gal reading "Zadok" in The Shadow Over Innsmouth...is her name really Jennifer Gill? Perfect!
I have listen to all these story's but i also ''haven't''. When i have hard time falling asleep i put on one of the H.P. Lovecraft audio books and listen, drifting slowly to deep dream while imagining all the scenes and characters that the story tells, only to forget them in next morning exeapt the begining part where the scenes start to blure and the voice begins to be just a noise. To me H.P. Lovecraft story's are comforting with there mystic aura and descriptions. al tho i do remember one dream, where i was falling or flying towards a black hole around which shine rainbow colors and came defending yet also soft like cotton noise or voice while 1000 fingers touched my back in warmth and comfort. Ether way, great work m8! I hope you are sleept well after this long work.
My favorites were "The Dunwich Horror" and "The Shadow Out of Time".
How can you not like the Great Race of Yith. I love it.

At the Mountains of Madness.
Ive always like the shadow over Innsmouth
Just finished the whole thing took me a while , but wow these stories were amazing I'd always been interested in hp Lovecraft but never read any of his work, thanks so much for this your narration was perfect. I will have to read them again for myself now
I'm glad you enjoyed the journey, Kuzz! Ian
Great reading, and I love the subtle sounds in the background. Thank you for making my long commute more bearable!
I love this narrative! The reader gives it a really spooky feeling... What a voice. Wow!
Going to sleep with this on is crazy! The topics slip in a distort your dreams and place you right in to these stories! Thanks!
Before
I'm doing some research on a game I want to make and this video is perfect because I can just listen to this while I procrastinate.
This is possibly the single most important UA-cam download ever. Even more so than Kylie Minogue's Agent Provocateur advert.
I usually can't draw while "someone is talking", but for some reason, I draw better when I'm listen to horror stories. Your channel has been helping me a lot to focus on my practices and I'm even using it for streams (with credits, of course). I hope my few follower are also around here.
Your voice is PERFECT for this kind of thing.
Hypothesis, the great old ones are only active once every 255 million years, this is the length of a cosmic year. A cosmic year is how long it takes the solar system to complete a revolution of the galaxy. This would correspond to the stars being right
Hypothesis...have you looked at the old ones? if summoning them brings chaos, destruction and devastation then our world is in trouble...if you've looked at them then you can see their summoning in the children's movies such as frozen and finding Nemo..and in their video games such as Minecraft...and in some of the destructions we've recently seen...the gulf oil spill, the fires, the pandemic, plagues etc...just check out these "old ones"...they are TROUBLE...and they have their cult followings who are "summoning" them...if you don't believe you only have to look at our world...Jesus Christ is the only one more powerful than them..

Well it didn't take much for the romans to nail him to a cross and whip and stab him to death. I'm sure Cthulhu would make his suffering far greater.
I started reading this to my dad when he was in a coma. things didnt go well so ive had a hard time going back. but this makes it bearable. thank you
Just WOW. 22hours of content combined in one video with timestamps. Respect and thank you so much. ♥
I leave this playing throughout the day, genuinely don't know how many times i have finished this since i found it? I have this on most days( 5/7 )
My favourite story has to be "At the Mountains of Madness" just something about it intrigues me!
Came looking for "at the mtns of madness" will stay for the ENTIRE thing. Thank you
One of if not THE best additions to UA-cam's catalog. Cheers!
Jesus, I know what I'm going to listen to om my way to work for the next month
Thank you from the deepest depths and the darkest corners
Finally finished this after 4 weeks of listening on and off. I must say it was an experience I'll never forget, thank you.
I'm just getting into the mythos, and this is EXACTLY what I wanted. Thanks so much
This is truly amazing. I’ve wanted to get into lovecraft for some time now but I simply didn’t have the money. This is a godsend and incredibly well read as well!
Thank you so much for uploading this :)
B. Vaegler check out the app LibriVox. Huge library of classic audiobooks and it’s all free.
lol you can buy his entire published works for like $30 off amazon, fuck are you people smoking here? and Can i please have some?
@@BRBMrSoul oh yes I'm going to buy a luxury item when I can barely pay my rent ok asshole
B. Vaegler so then why complain about cost of books already purchases if so destitute? f you struggle to find $30 over course of your life then, like wow, sure I guess, really feel sorry for you if your life is that sad yet still have time listening to 22hr audio book rip off of your fav author, i dunno maybe spend 22hrs working like rest of us? I aint exactly rich either but this month I also found it quite easy to put aside, again, $30, its a book dude not a car you miserable fuck
All of Lovecraft's stories are open source on project gutenberg if you're looking to read for free. I cant remember, but you might be able to download kindle file formats.
Listening from Vermont and recognizing all of these places! Cheers
This man's voice is perfect for this material. Splendid entertainment.
Thanks Bryce! Ian
I have never heard or read any lovecraft, this man must have been a genius, also this narrator is doing a great job
He was a genius when it came to writing fiction! But he was otherwise a very 19th century person (racist)
@@seeklaliugulara2201 even for his time period, he was shockingly racist. I read that alot of the people who interacted with him were weirded out by the extremism of his racism
Hey, we all have problems and there's plenty of racists today....and we have a hell of a lot more data to suggest there's no truth in it than they had so you know 🤷♂️
Been meaning to read these stories for a while, imagine my happiness when I saw this in my recommendations
the guy from the whisperer in darkness must be colorblind because damn how did he not see those red flags all over the place
I discovered H.P. Lovecraft because of Ian Gordon and his wonderful channel! Your voice, coupled with the subtle sound design and ambience serve well to properly immerse the listener to the fullest extent of the audio book medium. I have been greatly enjoying this, especially whilst nestled under my blanket, and the psychoactive bliss of potent marijuana. Tomorrow, I shall be leaving sunny Albuquerque, New Mexico and returning to frozen, snow-covered Massachusetts; home sweet home! Thank you so very much for these; I recognize the difference between labor, and a labor of love.
Respectfully,
- Adam Borseti
Thank you Adam - safe journey! Ian
@@HorrorBabble and I'm not making this up, now......
But when I landed in Texas to board a connecting flight, I was was stricken violently ill. When I say violently, I mean out of both ends, and collapsing rigidly on the airport floor, like one of the scientist characters in Half-Life. I was in and out of consciousness for the rest of the hell ride, which took me to two different hospitals, and almost killed my fuckin' ass, if you'll pardon my French. It turned out to be sepsis, and a nervous breakdown. Now, I don't blame you for jinxing me or anything of that jazz, but I just found the irony of this matter rather humorous, if not dark; and now that I'm not pissing out of my ass into hospital sheets, and hallucinating.
Tah-tah....
@@AdamBorseti wow…glad you lived to tell about it. That seriously sucks!
This is genuinely one of the best things on UA-cam. Thank you so much for this.
*Complete* cythulu mythos?
*LET'S DO THIS*
it took me about 2 and a half years listening whenever I had the chance, but by God I listened to the whole thing... and love that I did
Finally something good to watch/listen to on UA-cam
Mister Gordon is the only narrator that truly brings HP Lovecraft to life.. Gordon style perfectly compliments HP Lovecraft. It's a perfect marriage between story and storyteller..☺️
Sending Love ❤️...Anna...Are you single? 😊❤️
Thanks for posting, many years since I read these books. Very well read too.
I return to this whenever I have a long stretch of time to fill, (car rides, airport experiences, family dinners etc.) I'm 15 hours in. I dread finishing this more than I dread the nameless horror lying dormant beneath R'lyeh
I'm listening through (bit by bit) - and wanted to thank you for your work. My 16 year old daughter just got into Lovecraft and she loves your recordings! As do I! She loves your recording of The Nameless City, and is listening through the whole C'thulu mythos. Its wonderful sharing this with her. My thanks for the amazing efforts and thought you put into these.
Thanks as always, Sean - much appreciated! Ian
I could never begin to start on Lovecraft's work because there's too many in not an apparent order.
This is perfect, Sir. Much love to you. I hope the fiends that lurk in the shadows keep watch over you.
Thanks for this. I'm going to be listening to this for a few nights to come.
I have become an ordain follower I give you my greatest gratitude for enlightening my mind, body, and soul.
Thank you for doing this!! I've been a Lovecraft fan but never had time to read every little thing he wrote and can listen to this while I work.
Currently listening to this in the background while I do work. I love the Cthulhu mythos.
Started Christmas Eve, back in the mountains of madness Christmas Day. Many many thanks 😘
So glad this video is 22hrs long it will help me get through my work nights till my days off.
Found my new favourite author and set of stories. By far the best collection of stories I've ever heard. 10/10 best 22 hours of my life, Will listen again
This has to be one of the greatest UA-cam videos I have ever encountered. Bravo, good sir.
I've got a lot of painting to do on the new house, thank you for giving me something to help pass the time while I work!
Maybe it’s just me, but I had headphones when I listened to Henry Akeley (Whisperer in Darkness) speak, and I think there was some very cunning and subtle audio editing going on. Very well done!
(Or I’m hearing signals from Yuggoth, of course, in which case: oh dear.)
Thank you for putting your time into this. 22 hours of pure determination. Your voice flows like a river when you speak ans its hard to put the headphones down when you listen to it. You never cease to amaze.
“I hope you enjoy the journey” in the most unenthusiastic voice every lol, mood
It's dangerous to be too enthusiastic in the presence of the Old Ones.
HorrorBabble ok yeah that’s a good response
This is fantastic. The work you put in to posting HorrorBabble / Lovecraft / Complete CTHULHU MYTHOS is incredible...thank you as always.
I've been listening to nosleep/creepypastas for years and it's interesting to hear stories that inspired so many of them
I love the writing style and feel very inspired myself 😊
