Whiporwill parts always freaked me out but also remind me of my childhood. I grew up in the middle of nowhere TN surrounded by woods. I had an aunt that we knew was dieing in hospital. The night she passed my mother and I sat out on the porch and a single Whiporwill was singing. My mom told me that was how she knew that her sister would pass that night and it was true, she did.
I've never listened to an audiobook before. Was never interested and am too impatient to wait for someone to say what I could've read faster. This video finally shed light on just how much a narrator can add when they nail the stories mood and atmosphere. Well done.
I prefer audiobooks as I can listen while doing other things. But a great narrator always makes a great improvement. Thankfully, most books I've listened to(a lot) have good narrators. But there have been a few I struggled to listen to. This narrator is great for these books.
I actually prefer to read, but because of current vision problems I completely enjoy Ian's perfect narration of some of my favorite stories. Thank you.
Dear Yog- I mean, Ian. Your narration brings Lovecraft to another level and I was enjoying myself immensely already 🖤 It's as if you can smell the despair and cow dung. And the voice acting? Absolutely bone-chilling. Good show!
One night I fell asleep while listening to this story and at the part where the twin brother is crying out to yog sothoth, it woke me up...scared the living shit out of me. I got that awful adrenaline tingle and hair raising feeling from hearing that creepy voice in my sleep and jolting awake. Haha Ian is indeed a genuinely clever voice actor.
I listened this on a trip from home back to college. Holy hell. How absolutely nightmarish and malignant. You give the terror of this tale such a proper weight. Well read! I'll be listening to your reading of At The Mountains of Madness next, that much is certain!
The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear. The oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown - H.P. Lovecraft. Thank you for taking the time and putting in the effort, for this is what was needed to get me through this day. Take care, and please continue your work.
This must be the best HorrorBabble reading I've heard yet. The voice acting, the production, the ambience - it's all 5 star. Well done and thank you for so many hours of enjoyment.
Oh man, I feel so stupid right now. How did I never think of looking up a video of someone reading Lovecraft's books out loud? I always wanted to read the books but never found the time, now that I found this channel I will make sure to listen to all of the stories while I work!
Thankyou for taking the time to narrate these stories. I heard your narration of the shadow over innsmouth and have been hooked ever since. I sincerely believe H.P. Lovecraft himself would commend you. You are truley brilliant.
I suffer from not being able to sleep unless i m completely spent. Your channel, especially these narrations of my beloved Lovecraft, give me much needed help to soothe my sleepless mind. Excellent narrations, in my meagre opinion ,the best lovecraftian narrations out there.Please keep it up, your subscriber from Athens, Greece
l wholeheartedly agree Mr Gordan truly is a great narrator for these types of stories, he has, thru his superb talent, the ability to bring the tales to "Life"...
Wow, the last three sentences sent a ghastly chill down my spine, which spread all the way to my finger tips and toes... Incredible work, Mr. Gordon! 👏
A fantastic reading of the Dunwich horror. I’ve always wanted to read this piece of lovecrafts but have never got around to it. Your reading and voice acting are on point and I absolutely love it. Thank you so much for making these readings!
The way you change your voice to suit the characters truly bring the story to life! Kinda reminds me of my dad tellin' us bedtime stories as children. Very, very well done!
Thank you! Great job. I live with in walking distance from several of HP Lovecraft's homes in Providence. Some of the locations are no longer there(streets changed or building torn down) these stories are a wonderful way to celebrate his amazing stories. Many thanks
@@josietyner761 You two inspire me to pray more. Cthulhu doesn't sound like anyone them boys of CERN ought to be messing with, and certainly not summoning as Geordi Rose revealed in his Ted Talk.
In my genuine opinion, you could make it as a voice actor in almost any field you wish. I love the way you narrate these tales; you bring the gravitas, the tension, the eerie and unsettling atmosphere, the terror, desperation, and emotion, without ever overdoing it. Brilliant work.
These are fantastic. What an amazing job you’re doing. Amazing narration, and perfect like musical cues without being overbearing. Just really good stuff. Keep it up.
I read some Lovecraft in middle school decades ago and haven't since. These are amazing with the voice work and old radio show style sound effects and whatnot. Great job!!
Im so glad i found your channel. I love it so much. I listen at night to screw with my dreams and the perfect narrations always take me to where im trying to go in dreamland. Keep on cranking out that nightmare fuel! With much appreciation i thank you from the bottemless black abyss of my heart
This is my second Ian Gordon narration to listen to and I am immensely impressed with the production value of these recordings. Great narrator. Keep it up.
Driving through the Catskills in upstate New York, I always hear echos of Lovecraft describing old, gray, withered towns, with people peeping out their front doors! Don't take the wrong fork! Love this story! Thanks, Ian. I am a new Lovecraft fan because of these wonderful recordings!! Amazing his influence on modern horror and suspense writers!
Ahh yes. On a binge listening to the call of cthulhu as well as just listened to the shadow over innsmouth. The nightmarish quality and the quality of the narration of such stories give me a curious fear, as its a joy at being scared so thoroughly it disappears as quickly as its known, only to await for the next horror filled detail.
HorrorBabble I am honored to listen to such a great narration. I've always been interested in such stories. And I appreciate the reply. Needless to say I look forward to the next series of stories read in such an enjoyable way.
Ah so it's this story that ultimately ties the mythos together, as a kind of confirmation that these are all in a unifying universe. I mean the story's before helps a similar motif, and most had either a reptilian person or the Necronomicon, but this one straight up name drops Cthulhu.
Another spectacular reading. Been bingeing the channel for a few days - it’s eminently well done; well read, well acted and well presented. Top tier stuff.
@@HorrorBabble don’t worry about it - you richly deserve praise for this stuff. I assume it’s a passion project as much as it is a way to earn a living! It comes over as such; the reading, counterpointed by the almost subliminal background sound… very, very good stuff, and clearly something that has been crafted together. Just the ticket for me, as an old fan of the works of the human disaster-area that was HPL! There is so little out there in conventional media, despite how they always assert HPL had an incredible effect on our movies, comic books and novels, so this channel is a real gem. If I had the discretionary income available you’d have another Patreon; rest assured that if that changes I’ll be signing up!
Oh wow, this is just so wonderfullynarrated, thank you so very much, Ian, for all your work and effort you put in these videos. Your voice is simply perfect for Lovecraft's brilliant stories. I really appreciate these narrations of yours, all of them so far. Keep up the amazing work! 😍✌
When you got to the description of the monster, I thought of the “Id Monster” from the movie “Forbidden Planet”, which was also “big as a house”, invisible, left weird tracks and unstoppable. I suspect that someone working on the script for FP was familiar with Lovecraft. This would also make sense in-story if Morbius had read Lovecraft. A Lovecraftian horror is exactly what would have come from Morbius’ subconscious.
First read this at 15. It was in a paperback that someone lent me. They wanted me to read "The Judge's House" which I did but the two stories that really struck me were one I think was called "The Flies" and this one. Opened new vistas of horror for me.
Such a good reading. Almost reminding me of Vincent Price. These help me during my work, as I do my coloring for an animation or making the line art. Thanks for these marvelous readings. Keep up the good work.
Great story and narration. I always like reading or listening to this story. It is filled with so many details. I always find the description of Wilbur interesting and like the guard dog of the library. Dr. Henry Armitage is stout, resolute, and is filled with solutions to any problem. A lifetime of study and knowledge of lore helped him immensely. I think he is awesome! Great job! Thanks, Ian!
This was amazing! I have been trying to find the time to read a few H P Lovecraft books, but this made it much easier to do whilst working! Thank you for doing this!
Don't tempt me! This was the first tale I recorded for the channel, and I do think it needs updating. That said, you've got to draw a line somewhere. We'll see! Ian
I'm in total agreement. As far as I'm concerned, lan Gordan should have a monopoly on all U-Tube audio books, and less l forget, the price for this very satisfying entertainment, is unbeatable lol...
I decided to re listen to this gem a couple years after the fact and I will admit I was surprised at how soft Ian's voice was back then. It was a welcome surprise.
I missed the "Fools, Warren is Dead". But it remains a great reading. By the way, found a couple of Mythos stories, like "The Oram County Whoosit", "The Tugging ", "The Terror from the Depths", "Than Curse the Darkness", "The Room in the Castle", "The House of the Temple", and then some. All Mythos Stories. I bet you'll like them, and your listeners as well. All the best. Roland
Fantastic. I especially love how each character gets their own voice and the adept ability that the narrator changes from one character to the other. Very impressive.
Lovecraft had a very deep imagination and penned it with quite a bit of imagery. I must complement you on your reading of some of those dialects. Thank you for a delightful listening experience.
A wonderful reading! I enjoyed it thoroughly. I was so excited to find such a wonderful narration of one of my favorite works! I subscribed immediately.
Just got done listening and it was superb! I really enjoyed the voices of the characters for this piece it really helped bring the story alive in my mind also it was a good demonstration of how talented you are as a voice actor. This story has succeeded in causing quite a few dreams centered around the events that took place. That is rare for such thing to occur for me so it was a pleasant surprise. I recently discovered a movie based on this story I might take some time this evening to watch it. I have some cleaning to do today so I am going to listen to "Pickman's Model" Next. Thanks for such an awesome reading I look forward to checking out more soon, ~Scott
+RealLifeVlog Thanks as always Scott! Strangely enough, the common folk in this story speak in a tongue very similar to the older generations here in my hometown. Though hopefully, we're folk of the 'undecayed' variety. I'd be interested in checking out any such films, though Lovecraft material rarely translates well to the screen in my opinion.
That is very interesting however, I guess should not be to surprising. I have yet to watch a film inspired by works written by Lovecraft so I am interested to see how it turns out. (I have not watched the film yet.) It could be argued that film adaptations of books almost always end up being inferior to their literary counterparts.
Most of HP's incredible stories would meet a quick and easy conclusion with "Five men with heavy machine guns went in and wiped the whole wretched lot out."
Ian Gordon, never paid much attention until I saw the Movie Shutter Island. His on screen demeanor, and tone of voice is captivating! When I discovered that he was reading HP love craft stories I was very thank to the ‘Old ones’
Why? He was actively trying to bring about the end of the world.

James Anders have you ever interacted with human beings? There is no inherent evil. Everyone gets where they are for a reason. Sure, some people are psychopaths from birth, and enjoy hurting people, but how often do people actually meet serial killers and know it? Of course most stories involve tragic characters. What a stupid thing to point out, no shit!
Think lovecraft would have approved of the narration. One of the horror stories, that people will always enjoy. If not for ever, then until the stars turn right.
Wunderbar again, Ian. Thanks. Enjoyed that very much. One little thing, i believed you said La Shub-Niggurath, while i think it is Ia Shub-Niggurath. Already shared it on my Facebook page/wall/whatever.

Ambient music works brilliantly with your voice! Use more of it in your recordings!!!

James Anders have you ever interacted with human beings? There is no inherent evil. Everyone gets where they are for a reason.

What a stupid thing to point out, no shit!
Truly an excellent rendition.

I fell asleep to this. NEVER AGAIN. 😬😬😬
Crazy that it's been 6 years!
Indeed!
Feels like it should be pronounced ‘dunnich’ .....
Keep up the good work fella and stay safe. Just revisiting eldritch tales.
HorrorBabble, have you ever noticed how similar the opening passages of The Colour Out of Space and The Dunwich Horror are?
Wunderbar again, Ian. Thanks. Enjoyed that very much. One little thing, i believed you said La Shub-Niggurath, while i think it is Ia Shub-Niggurath. Already shared it on my Facebook page/wall/whatever.
