Ok, I had to say this: I'm not trying to share too much, but here I go. I have medically diagnosed Autism, and severe PTSD. Ian, your narration is one of the few things that actually help me sleep. I will be forever grateful. Thank you for your hard work.

[@HorrorBabble]

Thanks for sharing. I'm glad I can be of some minor help in that respect.

[@jerichohill487]

@HorrorBabble your welcome. And it's a major help. Thank you again, sir.

[@Shacthulhu]

You spoil us, HB! Many thanks, friends!

[@rileyrosewriter]

You are on an absolute roll with all these wonderful stories.

It's a quarter past midnight and the insomnia is keeping my brain swirling. Perfect time to relax under a fluffy blanket with Mr Gordon. I so appreciate your content, many thanks.

[@picklerick.n.666]

God bless you and your team once again for the 9th time sir 😇👍👍👍

[@0_dearghealach_083]

Thank you for all the horror stories, Mr Gordon! With any luck, we shall have a Ghost Story for Christmas...

[@HorrorBabble]

One or two!

In the early 1990s, I worked at a department store in a mall in Illinois. There was a man who often shopped there whose lower jaw was missing. He spoke with a voice box. I never found out what happened to him, but he was a really nice guy and I was always happy to see him.

[@soulreaver1983]

Many thanks as always Ian!!!!😊

[@ryanmcgoogan8042]

Hey Ian/HB! Thank you for the great stories this month! I've been a listener for about 5 years. I *really* like the new stuff, that is, from contemporary authors such as Tamlan Dipper. More of this, please!

[@Shineon83]

I just love these 20s-30s era horror stories ❤

[@shadow_cat8040]

Ian! Ty for all the long vids recently, can’t wait for a potential original this Christmas season (fingers crossed)

[@HorrorBabble]

Due Dec 26th!

[@Richard-f4b4r]

I'm getting ready to relax for the evening, clicked on KZbin, and here you are! The work you put in to get these videos out is sincerely appreciated! I look forward to listening to this next collection! But first…

[@HorrorBabble]

🍿

[@Richard-f4b4r]

@HorrorBabble Yes sir! 😂 Seriously though, thank you for the work you put into making these!

[@cmdr_thrudd]

Fantastic! Thanks as always 😊

[@andreasfilis9001]

Really enjoyed it. It seems that he had a very good pen. No need to mention the narration. Thanks Ian.

[@sarge4455]

Very cool and I love the long ones 🫡

[@donaldmccleary9015]

Great selection of stories and narration! I have listened to the last three before on your channel. The first one was new to me, and i really liked it. Boy...talk about a nightmare! Thanks!

[@amandalee215]

This is turning out to be a very merry Christmas thank you Ian

[@dzstoryteller]

Thank you for the awesome stories and your great narration!

[@winstonsmith8597]

It is 7 degrees fahrenheit out with -15 wind chill. Good night to relax with some weird tales. Btw, The reanimator was outstanding.

Job Vacancy: Priest of Lost Atlantis. The two qualities that we’re looking for in applicants are hubris and stamina; stamina will be particularly important since the successful applicant will be expected to have to swim very long distances under extremely difficult and challenging conditions.

[@HorrorBabble]

Just send the application form over, will you?

[@Eris123451]

@@HorrorBabble It's in the post.

[@ginabeena6757]

I am loving all the variety lately! Thank you! ❤️

Excellent

[@blurryface9597]

Many thanks. This is the best channel!

"Bells of Oceana"... ships, the sea and horror, a trifecta of terror😈

[@ShirleyPearl-n9z]

Thank u horrerbabble. ❤

[@Bbergster]

Hi Ian. U are extremely active! I’m struggling to keep up! I’m just in the beginning of this, but I have to tell this- So, I know this guy who got into a big bar fight, and subsequently got bitten on the face! 😆. And as far as I know still has this war wound. My life….

[@MrAtrophy]

I love all the videos but don't burn yourself out.

[@HorrorBabble]

With the exception of the Christmas Special on the 26th, everything else is scheduled now. :)

[@bryffanwimartin2505]

😻😻😻

[@SlimeBlueMS]

Im a little concerned at your upload schedule. Are you ok?

[@HorrorBabble]

Concern appreciated! I did the same thing back in 2021. Of the 24 videos scheduled for the month, only two are left to complete. No need to worry, I plan these things well in advance. (Looking ahead to barren January... joke!)

[@tamlandipper29]

Right? It's not natural, I tell you!

[@HorrorBabble]

I live and breathe this stuff!

[@SlimeBlueMS]

Lmao thanks for the reply, i noticed a new video almost every day and my mind started wandering. "Is this guy going somewhere? This is an insane amount of content, is it being released to prepare us for a disappearance?"

[@tishahouse846]

Ukwales ❤

[@pinstripesuitandheels]

I'm not a fan of these stories. The quality of the writing could be better, in my opinion. The quality of the narration didn't suffer, though!😉

[@HorrorBabble]

Burks is divisive, I think. Very prolific, too. Lovecraft was a fan of Bells of Oceana though, appreciative of the 'outsideness' of the story. High praise indeed from HPL!

[@tamlandipper29]

I am approaching mindful of your criticism. So far I'd say it is a bit contrived but no worse than Conan Doyle who often has a kind of meta-inevitability. What really grates for me is that the bit characters, like the corpsmen, 'sound' stilted. Not Ian's narration, but the text.

[@sarge4455]

Go away cry somewhere else ✌️

[@EricDaMAJ]

Warren died in front of a live audience tonight. It was awful. He has ZERO talent for stand up comedy.

[@willmfrank]

I wasn't there, but I heard he gave a rather stiff performance.
