Stories From Damnable Tales

[@rebeccastanhope3989]

Thank you for your stories.

[@ClassicGhost]

Thanks for listening

[@Melody-cp9pq]

Tony you are a very handsome man. I don't say that lightly. Your voice is soothing to the ears. I am one of those people who are wapped up tight. You relax me so l can sleep a little. I enjoy your stories. I just found a book The Poetical Works of Thomas Moore. If I can't hear you I will be reading this. Thank you for the work you do. From Louisiana.

[@Wombats555]

Thank you! I quite like these shorter ones, live or otherwise.

[@lisabunnie22960]

Lovely. Thank you. ❤

[@DenWell-SeedsOfChaos]

Devil of the Marsh is my favourite of these two. You got very stern at one point and I was suddenly flung back into 7th grade, a hundred years ago or so, and I had inexplicably angered my teacher again. I WAS listening! At least I wasn't smacked with a ruler this time. Great Narration! I liked the green faerie orbs floating around.

[@ClassicGhost]

Ah yes my overly dramatic gesture. I would definitely have liked to be a wandering story teller going from village to village

[@medicalmisinformation]

Snowstorm NW North Dakota, county roads shut down, stuck here. Great timing, thanks!

[@ClassicGhost]

Hope you have shelter

[@lesleykaygosson315]

This was fantastic. Liked both stories. As usual it is your narration that brings them to life. Thank You Ever So Much For Sharing With Us. ❤️

[@ClassicGhost]

Thanks for being there.

[@donaldmccleary9015]

This is awesome. It is like getting read to at an event while sitting right in front of you. As always, I love your choice of stories. I love these live tales. It is like getting read to by a sage. Thanks!

[@ClassicGhost]

Or a ham actor ;)

[@donaldmccleary9015]

​@ClassicGhost much better than that!

[@ropeburnsrussell]

Lots of fun, thanks Tony. Best to Ruby and Jasper

[@cynthiapate9138]

Fantastic narration with the voices!! I love listening to these stories!!

[@debra333]

I so appreciate you. Thanks for these incredible readings. ❤

[@thurayya8905]

Your choice in the treatment of the frog/man in the second story sounded just right. I am glad, though, that he doesn't have a long-winded soliloquy as that would be pretty rough on your throat. Perfect short stories for Halloween!🎃👻

[@ClassicGhost]

Sore throat I had

[@amandine512]

I love that you’re doing these. 🙏

[@StoryVoracious]

Thanks Tony. A shame that I couldn't see this live, but I really enjoyed it anyway. Two stories I have never read/heard what a treat. Your presentations are always my first go to when I tune in to YT, and makes my job/ housework/ gardening / baking, much more enjoyable. Hope all is well with you and yours. 🦌🍇

[@amgroves76]

Sad I missed the live, ah well, at least I get to listen now. Thank you

[@merlapittman5034]

Excellent! Saki is one of my favorite authors, so I especially liked that story. Thank you! Looking forward to The Rats in the Walls

[@analima9939]

Greetings from a faithful follower from Portugal :)

[@ClassicGhost]

Wave back . Nice to have you here

[@karensmith2204]

Yeah, Rats in the Walls .....my favorite Lovecraft tale

[@suzannemoodhe927]

Rats In the Walls! Twilight Grotto! Awesome story ❤. Thank you 🤓🤓🤓

[@ainemoroney9965]

The badges are lovely, worn with pride 👻

[@lindadarveau1031]

You sound like the grim reaper in Monty Python The Meaning of Life death scene, my favorite. You are amazing with all your voices and accents.

[@MaggieatPlay]

Excellent! Thank you, Tony. Off for a little kip now.

[@dobo9194]

While on my way to Etsy… I’m only hearing this audio in my left earbud. The intro music plays perfect, as do all your other videos…

[@ClassicGhost]

i know why that is. i’m. fixed for next time

[@aldonakuykendall8670]

Oh so happy you are here this is such a treat thank you for all your hard work

[@martiwilliams4592]

Ditto ditto ditto also this second viewing. As always your narration is vivid-word paintings and expression. Though a video we get the enhancement, treat of viewing your expressive, masterful narration-a true storyteller, atmosphere and all. Thank you, Tony for all of your hard work for us.

[@karensmith2204]

Live readings are really good.

[@violetfemme411]

Loved the very special and informative conversation between Sheila and yourself. Hopefully she will be able to recommend some natural choices for dealing with Fibromyalgia. The meds I'm given don't really do much over time and I would LOVE an alternative to big pharma. Now, back to the stories. 😊 💜

[@DestinyKiller]

I know some people have good luck with CBD and/or kratom. My husband has chronic pain issues and the kratom really helps. I've not found it very helpful with my fibro but everyone is different so maybe it might help. It is a decent fallback however if the Powers That Be Insurance suddenly decide you no longer get to have your medication because they know better than doctors (sorry for the mini rant, that's been a very frustrating experience) My friend gets a laser treatment as well that has been helping them out immensely with feet pain. I don't know if these suggestions will help at all but I hope you find something that works well for you. Chronic pain is a very frustrating and depressing road to be on in life Edited to add this afterthought: I was prescribed a TENS unit that might have helped my neck but unfortunately my pain is too far up on my neck and head where I can't attach it properly but it might help other areas

[@louiseselfe616]

I've loved all your readings. But omg ...that coughing frog creature ...that voice you came up with will give me nightmares! Brilliant. 😀🐸😮❤

[@ClassicGhost]

Gave me a sore throat :))

[@louiseselfe616]

@@ClassicGhost A frog in your throat perhaps? 🤣 Sometimes we have to suffer for our art... By the way, have you seen a fairly obscure horror film entitled "The Maze" (1953) ? No spoilers, but the amphibian element of your beautifully narrated tale reminded me of that little oddity.

[@thornmichaels5388]

If I'd had a father with the most beautiful voice in the world, I imagine this is what it would have been like for him to read me scary stories while I was staying home from school with a cold... 😂

[@ClassicGhost]

My daughter Catrin came to a live reading on sunday with her friend and her drone afterwards asked her if an read her bedtime stories. Of course! she said and he did all the voices

[@martiwilliams4592]

PS: Love the accents!!!!! And the commentaries !!!!!! Thank you! Very enjoyable.

[@lynnette1897]

Enjoyed this very much, thank you!!

[@CleoHarperReturns]

I'm gone for a short while and come back to see your lovely face! Funnily enough, you look exactly how I thought you would. You've got a good face. I've missed so much and I'm incredibly behind on your stories. Your voice is so helpful in calming my craziness, so it's a good thing really, as now I can binge-listen. I'm only sorry it comes at the cost of my usually timely (viewer) support. Hope all is well with your family. Kiss your beautiful little beasties for me (the ones with fur). Thank you Tony, for your overwhelming amount of effort. You share such good things with the world.

[@martiwilliams4592]

Really do love this, Tony. I have been saving as a treat, reward to myself for being a brave girl ,escaping from the Horror Tales of Murky Marsh Medicine Medics. Truly Terrifying. Again, again. many thanks. Much needed and appreciated. As an extra treat, watching a second time right away.

[@mkelly4617]

Loved these stories! I love your voice, it relaxes me. By the way, there were little green orbs flying around on your screen.

[@ClassicGhost]

what??? 😊

[@ClassicGhost]

Thanks for the kind words

[@jenniferlevine5406]

Well done! Great reading. Looking forward to Halloween. How can we be that far into the year? Thanks so much for everything!

[@ClassicGhost]

I’m looking forward to next week to do it. I have two in person readings too

[@allysonlewis1576]

How lovely to actually see you. I love everything you do. Please keep entertaining us.may you have a wonderful new year .

[@aldonakuykendall8670]

The choice of green in your background is very easy on the eyes I like it more than the red look in the first one you are growing in this pod cast thing for sure

[@ClassicGhost]

ha ha

[@libertycowboy2495]

Damnation! I missed this!

[@StoryVoracious]

That was punny.😆

[@peaceseeker52]

Today you remind me of the robot on screen on "Red Dwarf". We had four generations laughing at gang of actors.

[@DestinyKiller]

I've always been curious where the clips in the intro come from. Especially the locked room/drawer (😉) one comes from I want to know what's in there dang it lol

[@ClassicGhost]

It’s from a 1970s film called Psychomania

[@DestinyKiller]

@@ClassicGhost ah, cool, thanks!

[@Andrew-if3sd]

​@@ClassicGhostwow! It's been decades since I watched the chiller Psychomania! Thanks

[@AND-od5jt]

Nice ones, thanks!

[@martiwilliams4592]

Love my post cards, have bought "Damnable Tales" over my local web bookshop. Also love the visuals, hope you reconsider reinstating visuals! Ditto, ditto, ditto :0)

[@richardwells4967]

Thanks very much, Tony! The Music on the Hill is one of my favourites. I have an announcement coming on Halloween that should hopefully be of interest to you and your viewers/listeners...

[@ClassicGhost]

Richard!!! How lovely to see you here

[@richardwells4967]

​ @ClassicGhost Ha, I don't really have a KZbin presence as such (just followed you on Twitter). But I've been watching a bunch of your videos over the past few weeks to keep me entertained whilst lino cutting, so this was a nice surprise!

[@ClassicGhost]

It’s a beautiful book

[@StoryVoracious]

Thanks Mr Wells. I'm delighted that people like you and Tony here have such a passion for all things dark and spookiful. Thanks for letting the right ones in. 👻

[@amandine512]

The most important factor in reading live (or prerecorded) is the mic quality. The quality sounds a bit better than last time, but if there’s any way to use the same mic and set up as your other videos that would be amazing. You’re the best narrator I have ever heard. I dare say you are better than Doug Bradley. At least as talented anyway.

[@ClassicGhost]

Re the mic. I use a condenser for the recordings and it’s right beside my mouth. for this I was using a shotgun mic because it’s further away. I have used a lav mic (on lapel) but i do t think it was as good as this shotgun. the problem is the room isn’t treated so it’s a bit echoey

[@ClassicGhost]

but i do welcome comments like this. I like the tech stuff

[@ClassicGhost]

+amandine512 Thank you. The set up is different as you say. ai can’t have my condenser mic for this so I use a shotgun mic

[@amandine512]

@@ClassicGhost thanks for all your replies.

[@AmandaS18]

Lovely

[@RSEFX]

Any chance you can/will feature your thumbnail for this video full screen. I'd love to get a screen grab of it/quite amazingly atmospheric! Thanks for the stories. Best good wishes!

[@juliadia007]

Hi Tony. Great as usual. I wonder if you could discuss the god Pan on one of you periorations. Is he malevolent all the time? I don’t quite get him.

[@ClassicGhost]

I’m pretty interested in Pan

[@juliadia007]

@@ClassicGhost yeah, I think we need to explore/worship him more

[@ClassicGhost]

@@juliadia007 I’ll be out in my goatskin later but i’ll need a coat because it’s chilly

[@Glitterwalrus]

You’re a bit blue. Literally. Thanks for doing the live feed!

[@ClassicGhost]

I'm colour blind so I need the guidance. I was too orange last time. On Halloween I shall be perfect(ly) coloured.

[@clivefinlay3901]

Sorry Tony but it appears your mic is only picking up the left channel, the introductory clip is in stereo but only the left for your voice

[@Inquisitive_Cynic]

I can only hear out if one side of my earphone.

[@ede2225]

Am I the only one who hears this through the left speaker only?

[@ClassicGhost]

oh. on my headphones it was both but it was set as a mono signal. In future i can make it stereo. I never thought of that

[@JennyLane8666]

Oooh spooooooky :) i love the ambiance Tone

Those stories were also unaccountably brilliant. I'd never heard either before and I and my big black cat were enchanted 😻
