The last word in ' The Interloper ' sent a chill through me that no horror story since childhood has gotten to me and I'm nearin 70

[@budahbaba7856]

On one hand, it was such a beautiful story. I am listening to it thinking i wish we could solve our political differences like this. And on the other... that last word my friend! Oh that was horrific! But how else do you end a generations long family feud. We fight over the dumbest of reasons, and then that final word comes into play.

[@skillcollector9800]

If it weren't in this collection, I may not have even realized it was a horror story until that last word... what an artfully written short story

.....wolves. I read it when I was a kid and never forgotten it. That was 30 years ago. Great writer.

[@marianparoo1544]

@@jamiehess4211 Given it’s SAki, I should have realised it would end like this...

[@sebastiandiaconu1221]

Cold day, hot tea, pot of stew cooking on the stove, lots of art commissions that will probably keep me up late into the night, and incredible stories from Horror Babble. This has the makings of a wonderfull day.

[@HorrorBabble]

Sounds fabulous, Sebastian. :)

[@sandy_says]

Wish I could have a bite of that stew! Alas it s already been 3 years

[@mariecarie1]

@@sandy_says Same! Sounds like such a delightfully cozy atmosphere.

[@blixten2928]

Gotta admit, every time I listen to these I again realise what a truly superior writer Bierce was. What language, what economy, what originality, what creepy yet novel implications, developments, ending... Gorgeous and underappreciated writer.

[@ofthedarknessthemoonlight5412]

I love Bierce. The Moonlit Road is one of my favorite ghost stories ever.

[@nonserviam751]

I noticed that too; I had to look him up.

[@monstersaint]

Your content is top notch. Thank you so much.

[@mickc.4992]

Finally, something good to listen to. Thank you so much for all you do :)

[@tellket]

Very good collection and very well presented good Sir. Thank. You for the post.

[@HorrorBabble]

Thank you very much!

[@blixten2928]

So many of my favourites! Bierce,for instance - what a master, unique, strange worlds... would have (and perhaps does) been proud of such a reader!

[@jeffreyriley8742]

Lukundoo is terrifying!!!

[@2476bunny]

these tales are well read listened to many, the narrator is just right, thanks

[@emigurumi]

This collection is one of my favorites so far! The creepiest one is the least supernatural!

[@joz6683]

The Interlopers, what a great ending, I will say no more incase the comments are read before the video has been watched. And as always thanks to everyone involved.

[@Firecracker66]

Super creepy fragilistic extra hellish dopeness

[@TwoHomesTenPhones]

You should do dracula. Your voice is absolutely perfect for it

[@HorrorBabble]

It's a long one - but we'll tackle it eventually.

[@TwoHomesTenPhones]

@@HorrorBabble yay! Love you guys!

[@richardportman8912]

As a friend of the Mangbatu, i cannot say i am surprised. I love these stories.

[@corygiesbrecht5423]

Thanks so much for your hard work!

[@KennyBell-o7j]

This is some of the craziest shit I've ever heard 😂😂😂 awesome work Ian!

[@confusedwolf7157]

Xmas already! Thank you for extended / bumper version of your readings.edited 2nd. So what? Again many thanks good Sir!

[@donaldmccleary9015]

Great storues and narration! Thanks!

[@tellket]

Loved the prequel also. I’m interested in Mrs. Milligan now and her contribution to Weird Tales. Thank you for the post.

[@tellket]

Wonderful Sir. Thank you for the post.

[@teddydog6229]

"Wolves" Best punch line in many moons.

[@Raao1]

You could warn for a spoiler.

[@70schild420]

WOLVES!wow what a visual!!

[@RangerOfTheOrder]

3:02 Ah yes, the greatest British horror: Making a fuss

[@bittybitty8233]

Ty...❗❗❗❣️💖💓

[@feralbluee]

didn’t know Jennifer was a writer, too. the story is really good and so well written, but i am terribly perplexed by the end and don’t understand at all. keep up the writing - look forward to more :) 🌷🖊

[@Cthulhuismyhero]

i didnt get the ending as well...did they used to hunt people, but had discarded the practice? hmmmm, its a mystery!

[@NerdMouth]

If you guys found a way to publish these short stories in small paperbacks or your different collections I would totally buy one. I am always looking for lightweight books to bring backpacking/traveling.

[@HorrorBabble]

Good to know! Perhaps we'll come up with something in the future. All the best out there! Ian

[@Duchess_Van_Hoof]

I commend Jennifer on that cliffhanger.

[@Duchess_Van_Hoof]

I am afraid that I did not manage to follow the plot with the Death of Haldin Frayser.

[@bonnyathome]

...fantastic macabre...

[@cynk956]

I so often start listening to your different tales but don't fine them enjoyable. This collection, however, is great! I especially liked the second story, The Interlopers. I follow Buddhism and often wonder why people put so much effort into hating others. I didn't expect the ending at all but it reverberates how hate is such a useless primitive emotion. It's relegated to the reptilian part of our brain. People who use their advanced brain take responsibility for their thoughts and actions.

[@Self-replicating_whatnot]

It's hilarious by how much Doyle is off in that last story.

[@hellodarkness5644]

Like, dang ol' BOO! Man.

32:39 Alaric or Ulrich? The landowners in that neck of the woods were usually Hungarian.

[@DavidLovins67]

I gave you a thumbs up, as I often do on your videos. :)

[@arejaycee5484]

[@Duchess_Van_Hoof]

Are the characters of the first story hunting humans for trophies?

[@Tipi_Dan]

I only comment here with reluctance, but will anyway because this information may be of interest to both listeners and to our narrator. The phrase "...this side of the Mountains of the Moon" sounds figurative and an exaggerated catchphrase, but there is a small range of mountains (hills to some perhaps) near Mount Saint Helena. As to the mountain itself, the highest point in that portion of the coastal ranges and just worthy of the characterization, and its pronunciation--- this is something only a local or frequent visitor to the area might be aware of. Pronunciations in California, with its mixed cultural and linguistic heritages, are random and dependent upon local history and custom: varying from butchery through strict conformity to origination. In this particular case, the name of the mountain and its namesake village is pronounced "Say-nt Hel-ay-na", not "Sant Hel-uh-na".

[@HorrorBabble]

Thanks for the info! I'll make a note of that for future ref. Ian

First like and comment, how you like me know bitches 🤣🤣

[@michaelkottler]

"Now"?

[@brianmcg.8260]

Horror Babble. You guys need better Merchandise. T-shirts sell. Different patterns of Skulls. A picture of H.P. Lovecraft. (I couldn't stop myself from buying a T-shirt from the Man, Stephen King has taken so much from.) Algernon Blackwood, same & I never heard, or read Stephen King giving any credit to those he stole the best material from. Instead, King praises Authors like Shirley Jackson and other Writers, who really had no influence on King. I realized that the hack known as Dean Koontz, most likely threatened to expose Stephen King & that's why Stephen King allows Koontz to steal his material, then is flexed to endorse Dean Koontz awful stories. Dean Koontz is the most overrated Horror writer of all time. Stephen King's Son, Joe Hill King is running a very close 2nd. I think he writes like a moderately talented 6th Grader. Now the other kid wants to be a Horror writer. A true Writer doesn't choose to be a Writer. He is born a Writer and he, or she must write, or go insane. (Paraphrased from a Statement from Stephen King.) I guess, this doesn't apply to his spoiled sons. He should not let them ride his coat tails like he does. It's not fair to anyone; the misled reader, & most of All the two spoiled brats. A Father should be honest with his children. We all know that if Joe Hill King was an ordinary guy, he wouldn't even try to make it as a Writer. He would starve. Same with the late Comer, Owen. Fame and Fortune are just too tempting to those with no ethics or honor. Naomi, God Bless you.

Wow

[@jamescappio7434]

That the author of "Lukundoo"'s name is WHITE is a little too on the nose.

[@tikkidaddy]

Amazing!
