Horror at the Poles / 5 Numbing Nightmares (Audiobook)

[@nicklindberg90]

I've loved Arctic horror stories ever since seeing 'The Thing' as a kid. Thanks for your work!

[@Raao1]

Same!

[@Sesh23]

Oh boy have you read Dark Matter by Michelle Paver yet??

[@marcocamaiti212]

Listening to this while coming home in windy and cold London. Gives literal chills.

[@stewartlancaster6155]

are literal chills the same as...chills ? ie gives me chills.

[@mattfantastic9969]

Just got the call, snow is too thick for work. HB audio drop, half round of cheese, 2 bottles of decent whiskey, ounce of pipesmoke, 14 logs for the hearth, one prime rib for the flame. Well, I guess my night has aligned itself.

Miserable rainy day here in Dublin love your content 🇮🇪

[@shelleybuckingham733]

Poorly ATM in the UK. I came across you by accident 🙏, what joy, fantastic stories and great voice 👍. Thank you x

[@HorrorBabble]

Thanks for stopping by!

[@billhuitson5208]

I hope you’re better now

Cold day in Houston today. Been cold for days. Only way I have survived this harrowing time is, you guessed it, @HorrorBabble. These stories always warm my heart. Thanks Ian ❤‍🔥

[@dannyb2783]

Cold in Houston Texas. I can't imagine the strength it must take to survive. We're only dealing with -30 windchill in MN 😂 just breaking your balls a bit. These stories are great in every cold. Take care

[@kgreen242424]

@@dannyb2783 No i get it. Lol. The thing is, it is usually 100 so when it gets down to 27 with the wind and rain, my body doesn't know what to do. Imagine taking a camel to Antarctica. That's the kind of shock I'm experiencing. Hahahahaha

[@PlayNiceFolks]

It's definitely weirdly relative to what you're used to; when winter first comes around (I live in PA), a 30 degree day feels nightmarish. After about a month of getting used to the cold again, it becomes barely noticable and even 20 something degrees feels bearable.

[@NookoftheNorth]

Cold in Oklahoma too.

[@moleyroley3263]

Is it still cold?

[@999minimal]

When "Prunes" was uploaded as a separate tale, I ignored it purely because of it's title. How could there be anything good about prunes? Now, after two listens, I reckon it is one of the best-told stories I have heard in a long time. Any more from this author??

[@HorrorBabble]

There are a couple more stories I believe -- one of them being a follow-up of sorts to this.

[@barebonesmusic6725]

Whats the follow up called and will you be doing it?

Perfect comp list for these negative temps I've been in!

Cold still in newfoundland but I'm warm in my apartment listening to this. Thank u

Listening from Massachusetts, Thank You Ian!

Thanks HB!

Saffron Gouda! Those two ingredients only ever combined by the hands of men long since possessed by the darkest and most forbidden of culinary arts!

[@WhizzerdSupreme]

As someone who is type 2 bipolar, "Ghost" is the most terrifying ghost story I've ever heard...because it's at least a plausible possibility

[@soulreaver1983]

Thanks Ian

[@tishahouse846]

Listening from the ukwales❤

[@stevecausey545]

A new one? Oh cool. Its horror at the famlands here in Colorado...- 27 f last night. I purchased the pieter vam melsen book last night, its very good.

[@mortuarycookiezshane4192]

also in Colorado here! I bought the christmas special books and have been keeping warm reading those!

[@stevecausey545]

​@@mortuarycookiezshane4192 that's cool...I find myself going between reading and listening... These are great stories...with great narrators

[@th0m_vi0lence3]

Are they physical books? I love Ian's stuff but I've never read any. I wonder what the difference would be. I bet I would read it in Ian's voice!

[@stevecausey545]

Mine are Kindle. ​@@th0m_vi0lence3

Living in Murmansk, it's horror at the pole 247

[@HorrorBabble]

A curious location, indeed!

[@Zach-uv5ul]

Splendid time listening

[@ixisnyx6860]

I'm not sure I fully understand what happened at the end of ghosts. So Fjord cracked after fixing the problem because the mounting stress had effectively worn down his sanity causing a delayed homicidal outburst?

[@gozinta82]

Near the beginning, it was said that psychopaths couldn't be cured. He didn't realize that ford was psychopathic(if that's the word he was using). So he wasn't fully cured, it just went dormant.

[@macummings7818]

@ixisnyx6860 That sounds like a pretty succinct summary of what happened! As the other commenter mentions, Fjord identified his psychological profile as the "schizoid" type, leaving us to realize the deeper horror in store when the Integrators incorporate the effects of what has happened! 😬🫣😶‍🌫️

[@MsMtheory]

These were such good stories!

[@mattgray666]

Chilling!

[@blurryface9597]

Thank you!!

[@tedronnkvist1630]

I loved "prunes" Will you be doing a follow-up to it? Are there more works by the author?

[@HorrorBabble]

There are a couple more -- one being a follow-up to Prunes.

[@TreeLuvBurdpu]

The time codes seem to be wrong. Ghost is closer to 00:00:38.

[@HorrorBabble]

Thank you! Corrected. I'd marked it at 38 minutes by mistake.

Hey- regarding channel Membership- what is a, "clean read"?

Who wrote Horror At The Poles? Couldn’t find the author. Thanks so much for the wonderful stories.

[@HorrorBabble]

Thanks for listening! See the video description.

[@HorrorBabble]

It's all there in the description. Just below the chapter times.

Horror at the Poles? Is this about that roadtrip to Poland?
