"The Chamber of the Yellow King" - Audiobook Short Story

The veil between the earth and all else is particularly thin tonight, and Gabriella is sneaking through the stonework corridors beneath the university. She and her companions are searching for an ancient tome bound in sickly yellow leather that will let them conjure magic more powerful than she has ever called upon before. Such books are known to be protected by horrific curses, and what’s more, the spell must be cast in the deathly chamber of the Yellow King, where evil is known to dwell.

Bravo! Both the story and the narration are wonderful! I am looking forward to future works! Ian, you are a masterful narrator. Thanks for turning me into this channel!

[@kermunklin7704]

The Hastur mythos...my favorite.

[@JourneytotheTreeofSorrows]

It is one of ours too!

This is perfect, great writing & illustration! And to top it all off Ian & Jen doing what they do best! More please ✌️

Glad you like it so much! We are working on more material every day. :-)

This whole video was an ad for another one. Needless to say I never clicked off of it. Great job!

This is such a cool channel, I can't believe I'm just now finding it! I already can't wait for more full short stories from you. Great work!

[@JourneytotheTreeofSorrows]

Thank you! We hope to do a lot more with it in the future. There is a lot more about this world we want to develop.

[@kgoodridge1]

Wasn't expecting this at all. Kudos to the writer of such a magnificent thriller. Well done 👏

[@cindyabernathy4556]

this narrator is amazing

Just checked out your website. Too bad I'm not into tabletop games... But I am definitely going to be purchasing your short stories. I'm stoked that Ian introduced me to you guys!

[@JourneytotheTreeofSorrows]

Thank you so much. It is great to have you here on the channel. Ian is fantastic and it is great to get to work with him.

[@kamkrueger9729]

This was so great! I've been wanting to do similar short stories with hastur, just due to the lack of stories featuring him...what a read!

[@EHeathRobinson]

Thank you! I am so glad you enjoyed the story!

[@RobertEWaters]

I once found a puppy and brought him home. My mother said that we couldn't keep him and that I shouldn't give him a name. Naturally, I called him Hastur.

[@custodialfatherintexas9362]

Please more. Awesome awesome awesome

Fantastic story, excellent narrator. Keep up the great work!

[@JourneytotheTreeofSorrows]

Thank you Jess! :-)

[@LordVane216]

The songful chant " all we have to offer is blood and bone"....the way it was sung reminds me of a Halloween song I learned in elementary school. " Have you seen the ghost of John? Long white bones with the skin all gone. Wouldn't it be chilly with no skin on?" Is this where you got insperation from it?

[@JourneytotheTreeofSorrows]

Nice catch! Whenever I heard the question "Have you seen the Yellow Sign?" I (Heath) always sung it in my mind to that cadence. It seemed natural to extend it when I was writing a chant for the Yellow King.

[@LordVane216]

HA HA! I knew it sounded all to familiar. Excellent story! Definitely earned a subscriber!

[@JourneytotheTreeofSorrows]

Thank you! It is great to have you with us.

[@tqk1976]

I learned that song too!

[@laurahenriksen19]

Yep. Definitely a fan :)

[@JourneytotheTreeofSorrows]

Great! :-)

This is dope to listen to as I rip my bong

[@sfinxwojerz]

Found you at work looking for a narrated story. The fact that we can. Get them on youtube is amazing. I like your work I started with horror bubble didnt even know of your other work. Thank you enjoying a lot.

[@WhoCares69]

Ian didn’t write this story . Was written by Heath Robinson. To be honest I think Ian’s stories are much better than this.

[@MrsCaranAmy]

This was a very exciting tale. I truly am impressed with the narrator's Ian and Jenn. I look forward to more stories. Thank you.

[@EHeathRobinson]

Thank you! I hope to be able to write more stories for the channel soon!

Damn I thought it was like Harry Potter lmfao. Oof damn that was brutal 😂

[@Cybercabra]

This is amazing. I enjoyed “The Relic of the Mad Poet”, and it was a really fun, but it lacked the horror of this one. Great work.

[@JourneytotheTreeofSorrows]

Thank you very much. We are very glad you enjoyed it!

[@EHeathRobinson]

Yes. Thank you for listening. I am the author and I am very glad to hear you enjoyed both stories.

Is this the same narrator from Horror Bable?

[@karencontestabile6064]

I liked Relic of the Mad Poet...

[@JourneytotheTreeofSorrows]

Excellent - very glad to hear it! Thank you for listening.

[@gagebeam2899]

Love the stories and the channel. Will there be more stories? If so, can there be more...complexity? Not that these are just shallow tales but rather stories that require the reader/listener to really reflect. I feel that with Lovecraftian horror things are either too straightforward or too “incomprehensibly inconceivable.” I think some really thought provoking and horror provoking conclusions on behalf of the reader to determine are right up y’all’s alley. Don’t spoon feed us!! Lol

[@JourneytotheTreeofSorrows]

There are going to be more stories. Heath is looking forward to getting back to more writing in the next couple of weeks, and I know working on more short stories is one of the things he really wants to do.

[@CajunCraft24]

Time is a flat circle....

[@c.hawker7605]

Is this the beginning of the story?

[@JourneytotheTreeofSorrows]

It is. "The Chamber of the Yellow King" is a stand-alone story. But, it is only a part of the Journey to the Tree of Sorrows story arc. We will be releasing much more of the broader story on this channel.

[@c.hawker7605]

Journey to the Tree of Sorrows I look forward to it. I love story and Creepypasta channels. I'd love to be part of one even.

[@JourneytotheTreeofSorrows]

Great! We are very glad to have you with us here!

[@c.hawker7605]

Journey to the Tree of Sorrows I'm glad to be here. I usually find the best channels when they already have millions of subs. I'm glad to have found an epic one just starting out!

[@JourneytotheTreeofSorrows]

We are trying to make it as epic as we can! :-)

[@Unfortunatetribes]

The narrator's style reminds me of the Ancestor in Darkest Dungeon

[@Karrar_Ibn_Basra58]

what is the story

[@williamsmario54]

The witcher!!!!!??

[@johannageisel5390]

The general idea is good, though I think it would have been better if the last uprising of the dead body and the stabbing would have been left out. That's a bit too much action and distracts from the horror of the disintegrating body. The characters' relations with each other and their sexual escapades were also not that interesting. Apart from that, I liked the concept.

[@storiesmart7106]

Visit our channel if you're interested in stories 😊

[@samanthapateman8054]

I feel like this narrating was a tad wee rushed and kind of sounds like he recorded it in a cave and could of done with more emotion.

[@Karrar_Ibn_Basra58]

bad

[@karencontestabile6064]

This story was overdone...Corny...Sorry...

[@deathpunchdingo2981]

Not to be negative....well read and all that.... but at 99% exposition and a female character whose contributions included A: Daydreaming of moonlit seduction B: Getting jealous of a book, and C: Requiring constant groping reassurances, this story would barely have scraped a C in a college writing class. I'm surprised the narrators chose it.

[@jackallen5424]

Probably because that’s all she had to contribute

[@3rdtimesthecharm376]

You say that like it's something real college-aged women DON'T think about. She's also been 'active' with both men, or at the very least is close with them in a manner where their touch is a comfort, and not harassment.

[@georgeII420]

This story was dumb.

[@madonnadove]

9:00 minutes in, fts sexist bs!

[@3rdtimesthecharm376]

It's it wonderful?

[@DioBrandoWRYYYYYY]

everything else is great but Jennifer is just not a good actress. she has no range, every line she delivers is kinda flat and almost always delivered the exact same way

[@GrimmSmile23]

James F. Fortengard And bass guitarist never play complex chords. She fits in my opinion, she fits well in the general emotional direction these pieces go.

[@DioBrandoWRYYYYYY]

I guess. My recommendation is not to marathon HorrorBabble stories because she wears on you if you listen to say, all the Yellow King stories in one night

[@GrimmSmile23]

But did you listen to this through to the end? She’s a very talented voice actress, from what I understand of the industry and talent

[@DioBrandoWRYYYYYY]

yes I did listen to this the whole way through and the only lines she can deliver with any conviction are really short ones like "en garde". maybe somewhere out there there's a story where she does some masterful acting and I haven't heard it and I'll admit I'm wrong about her if I hear it but so far every single production she's been in that I've heard she was the weakest aspect of it because the guy doing the narration and all the male characters is a true master who can effortlessly play multiple distinct characters just by changing the tone of his voice so it kinda puts a huge spotlight on her flaws.
