Ho-ly shit! Wow that was disgustingly terrifying. I also would like to say that the way you delivered this story was top-notch. Ramsey Campbell's done a couple like this, there was the one about the kid that was staying with his grandparents, and the grandmother came back from bingo with all the old ladies and they were trying to have their way with the young man. Great story my friend thank you so much
Ramsey Campbell is seriously worth a read. His anthology "Alone with the Horrors" is a land mark in the genre. Would be worth doing an audiobook on since you and others have done most of Ligotti.
Agreed. My reluctance in continuing on from here, right away, is that unlike Ligotti so much of Campbell's work has been commercially recorded first. Reflex of an oversensitive copyright vet. I'd tend to look first for his stuff that hasn't been done yet.... (Of course: I did not check to see whether this one Again has already been done in an Audible collection or similar. My scrubs are elastic. 😏)
@@manifestdust that is exactly how we get rarities :) Keep up the good work! I always wonder why HorrorBabble doesn't cover more Clark Ashton Smith but then I realise I know about them only because Librivox recordings are all over UA-cam.
@@manifestdust Cool! BTW, "Cold Print" is also called "The Revelations of Glaaki"- which name also refers to Campbell's mythical grimoire, a contribution to the broader Cthulhu mythos.

Just heard it on your Spotify page and came here to thank for presenting this bone chilling wicked-@ss tale
Wow, this was a nasty one--unusually blunt and 'kinetic', as it were, for a Campbell story; good choice, though--TBH, I don't recall having ever read this one before! o_0
This story has stuck with me for a long time, the depravity is just chilling. I enjoy your narration and your taste in fiction, but in this video there really like a ton of commercial breaks man. I don't know how UA-cam works from the content creators perspective if you even have any control over the commercials in your content, but if you do have any control you might want to take down the commercials a notch. They really take you out of the story.
Gary, thanks for your positive reactions to the story... and I'm sorry about your experience with advertisements. I just finished an hour or two trying to find out why this is happening. Nothing conclusive yet, but here are a few points: 1. My channel is not monetized, nor is it eligible for that yet. It may be that when it reaches that point, I can turn the monetization feature in the drop-down menu in YT Studio "off"--but that option doesn't appear to me yet. I've read that doing so should stop ads (since you don't want to make any $$.) 2. In the meantime, I've disabled interest based ads. Maybe that will help, since it may reduce what viewers have to watch in terms of quantity. Description for this setting reads: "Disable interest-based ads If you select this option, personalized ads will not be shown on videos on your channel, such as ads based on a viewer's interests or remarketing ads. This may significantly reduce your channel's revenue. In addition, earned action reports and remarIketing lists will stop working for your channel." 3.From what I've read on the two licensing options for creator content--Standard YT license and Creative Commons license--I cannot figure out why you, and probably others, are experiencing so many ads. The YT license indicates that they can provide them, among the other ways they can display and use my content in a "nonexclusive" license, but the Creative Commons license does NOT seem to permit this by YT. And CC is the license I use (as you can see in the description of my videos). So I don't have a clue (yet) as to why others experience so many advertisements--especially on such low volume and special interest content as my readings. 4. While I see ads on other people's content, of course, I see none on my own. Not just when I'm logged into my account, watching my own stuff--but even when I access YT anonymously. I sometimes use VPN, and when doing so--either accepting or declining YT's cookies, but never logging in to my Google account--I have not seen an ad on Campbell's AGAIN. And again I'm puzzled: I ought to, because YT doesn't know who I am. (I think?) 5. If all else fails, investigate some of the (supposedly free) ad-blocker apps. You might start with this list: www.antivirussoftwareguide.com/best-ad-blockers-to-stop-pop-ads. If anyone else reading this exchange knows more than I do at this point, please feel free to chime in!
@@manifestdustThank you for trying. I wanted to comment on this as there were 5 ad breaks in this not too long of a story. I have noticed it on other not so big channels too and apparently it is just as frustrating for them also. I mean, damn if they are going to load that stuff into your videos they should. compensate you! Love your work
@@atomseahuze2687 Thanks SOOO much for keeping the faith. It's a frustrating situation for us all around (except UA-cam itself). The only solutions to number of ads hitting you I've found are third-party apps or ad-blockers, or going Premium. Nothing free, alas.
@@atomseahuze2687 A bummer that still nags me. Been doing some more thinking about this issue of ad proliferation--and will write something soon on it among the "Community" comments. But for now, good news on AGAIN. I've added it to my podcasting channel--which, so far as I know, should play without commercials. (Guess I ought to try it myself, incognito.) The link is in the bottom of the description but here it is again: podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/manifestdust-in-yer-eye/episodes/AGAIN-by-Ramsey-Campbell-e2agng7.
Haven't visited your channel for quite some time. Cheers for this. You may or not recall that I recommended this tale under a different username, on your reading of Ligotti's "Notes on the Writing of Horror". As for more Campbell, I'd like to suggest "Just Waiting", "Seeing the World", and "Mackintosh Willy". Keep doing what you do!🤘
Thanks. I did recall your recommendation of this story--if the user name I acknowledge in the description was yours. As for more Campbell, I'll probably revisit him again, after At Lorn Hall, but it'll be a while. Think there's been 3 or 4 other story recommendations to choose from.
@@manifestdust Not surprised. I forget who wrote the blurb, but someone said that the world Ramsey Campbell takes for granted is the world of our darkest nightmares. Also, here's an amusing tidbit: When Clive Barker first appeared on the scene, he was rumored for awhile to be someone writing pseudonymously. I remember in an interview from a little after that time, Campbell said that many people approached him at conventions and such convinced that he was Barker.
@@FILIOUS_DEO_FRATER_UT_SATANAS Huhn! The blurb is apt for Campbell's sensibility, but the mistaken identity seems improbable unless the author had developed a creative personality split. Or so it seems as I read Barker's work.
@@manifestdust Just to be sure I properly conveyed it, people came up to Campbell saying things like, "Be honest... This Clive Barker person everyone's raving about is you, isn't it?".

Thanks so much in return. I'll try looking for the story you describe--but if anyone reading our remarks here knows the title, please respond!
I just re-read the story I was talking about, it's called "The callers"... 😅 twisted
Hello and Thanks....this excellent little tale IS my absolute favourite, true horror that is sufficiently terrifying for most
Manifest: thank you sir. This is the most frightening Campbell tale. I’ve been searching for it for years. Thank you, and good day.
@@stormcorrosion176 You're welcome!

Absolutely Twisted .l loved it.
Yooo that was fantastic. Great unnerving story. And a great narration mr.manifest😎
Campbell is great. He tends not to pull his punches. Try "Cold Print," 'The Horror Under Warrendown", "In the Bag," "AT Lorne Hall"
Will do. I've now got a couple of his collections as e-books, so I'll start searching out these.

You're more than welcome. For a story with this one's momentum, it's great not having ad interruptions, isn't it?!
@@manifestdust it's great. This one was pure action. Ads would totally break the pace. Yet, you should earn for this readings.
Love me some Ramsay.
We both have exquisite taste in literature:)
Heck yeah, a new upload from Manifest... AND it's a Ramsey Campbell story!
please excuse my outburst, I do that when excited sometimes
Pretty scary...
A claustrophobic story.
Wow, this was a nasty one--unusually blunt and 'kinetic', as it were, for a Campbell story; good choice, though--TBH, I don't recall having ever read this one before! o_0
I certainly hadn't read it before the suggestion to do it. But learned it appears to be one of Campbell's story classics.
