Great story and narration! I like how James uses a michevious or very inquisitive kid as one of, if not the, main characters in some of his stories. Thanks!

[@joshuazane3210]

I quite like this story. It somehow feels more concisely written than many of James' works and honestly I think the pacing benefits from a bit less meandering. Great reading, as always.

[@HorrorBabble]

I have to agree Joshua - I've always enjoyed this one for that very reason. Ian

[@fluffysaffron5719]

Woah. This was unusually dark for M.R. James. I know he has some of his adult characters meet unfortunate ends after meddling with things they shouldn't, but this... wow. But the story and your reading of it are both excellent!

[@JamesMC04]

This is the first story by M. R. James that I ever read. I love how this story combines several themes to produce a very strong effect.

[@tamlandipper29]

[@DavidSmith-sb2ix]

This one I always thought was a bit grisly even for Monty, a mild mannered university don with a macabre side of his personality. A good story though.

[@tooladdict85]

Just started the story.... my birthday is 9/11

[@beverlyamarantes9775]

Love the artwork.

[@TrueZschunke]

So what's with the art in this one? It seems to be made by the same artirst as the one who made Temple of Memory art. Not that I'm not complaining or anything I'm just curious. It's really good and interesting. Will this be put on the store too?

[@HorrorBabble]

The artist (M. Grant Kellermeyer) is credited in the video description. He produces lots of images based on the classics. We use them with his permission. The Temple of Memory piece however, he produced especially for the story - and so that's the only one we have the rights to sell.

[@TrueZschunke]

@@HorrorBabble Thank you sir.

[@kristianadam4515]

Hey Horrorbabble. Its me again. I don't mean to be a bother but it also occurred to me that "SCP"s may also be something that would be at home on your channel. Hope your well.

[@HorrorBabble]

Thanks for the suggestion Kristian. Although I do like some of the concepts explored by the SCP Foundation, I think those works are better suited elsewhere. Our friend Morgan Scorpion tackled a few actually: kzbin.info If you have any public domain requests, I'm always happy to receive them here: www.horrorbabble.com/contact Thanks again! Ian
