Don't feel bad. It can be challenging even for those of us who aren't dyslexic. Our language is changing and evolving, (as it always does) so much so that we are starting to stray from what this once was. It's slowly becoming a foreign language.

[@angieloverboy32]

Im right there with ya. Dyslexic and a lovecraftian lover but geez you put it right, "a maze to the eyes and brain."

[@inoue6]

I'm also dyslexic and had no problems with reading, but that might've been because I've read it in my native language, English original, though having technically the same word meaning, must have different text and word construction. I'm tempted to try and read it in English if I can find it online to see it for myself ☺️

(Honestly i think it was making a change in my life and finding some real stability, feels like that was it, and they do pop back up in heavy stress situations, just nearly never).

To me H.P. Lovecraft story's are comforting with there mystic aura and descriptions. al tho i do remember one dream, where i was falling or flying towards a black hole around which shine rainbow colors and came defending yet also soft like cotton noise or voice while 1000 fingers touched my back in warmth and comfort.

Great reading, and I love the subtle sounds in the background. Thank you for making my long commute more bearable!

Just WOW. 22hours of content combined in one video with timestamps. Respect and thank you so much. ♥

I am beginning this epic in short sequences. Thank you for all the time that it took to record these tales Ian.

[@HorrorBabble]

Thanks again, Amy - enjoy!

[@kuzz1191]

Just finished the whole thing took me a while , but wow these stories were amazing I'd always been interested in hp Lovecraft but never read any of his work, thanks so much for this your narration was perfect. I will have to read them again for myself now

[@HorrorBabble]

I'm glad you enjoyed the journey, Kuzz! Ian

Finally finished this after 4 weeks of listening on and off. I must say it was an experience I'll never forget, thank you.

[@AdamBorseti]

I discovered H.P. Lovecraft because of Ian Gordon and his wonderful channel! Your voice, coupled with the subtle sound design and ambience serve well to properly immerse the listener to the fullest extent of the audio book medium. I have been greatly enjoying this, especially whilst nestled under my blanket, and the psychoactive bliss of potent marijuana. Tomorrow, I shall be leaving sunny Albuquerque, New Mexico and returning to frozen, snow-covered Massachusetts; home sweet home! Thank you so very much for these; I recognize the difference between labor, and a labor of love. Respectfully, - Adam Borseti

[@HorrorBabble]

Thank you Adam - safe journey! Ian

[@AdamBorseti]

@@HorrorBabble and I'm not making this up, now...... But when I landed in Texas to board a connecting flight, I was was stricken violently ill. When I say violently, I mean out of both ends, and collapsing rigidly on the airport floor, like one of the scientist characters in Half-Life. I was in and out of consciousness for the rest of the hell ride, which took me to two different hospitals, and almost killed my fuckin' ass, if you'll pardon my French. It turned out to be sepsis, and a nervous breakdown. Now, I don't blame you for jinxing me or anything of that jazz, but I just found the irony of this matter rather humorous, if not dark; and now that I'm not pissing out of my ass into hospital sheets, and hallucinating. Tah-tah....

I aint exactly rich either but this month I also found it quite easy to put aside, again, $30, its a book dude not a car you miserable fuck

All of Lovecraft's stories are open source on project gutenberg if you're looking to read for free. I cant remember, but you might be able to download kindle file formats.

I usually can't draw while "someone is talking", but for some reason, I draw better when I'm listen to horror stories.

Your voice is PERFECT for this kind of thing.

Hypothesis, the great old ones are only active once every 255 million years, this is the length of a cosmic year. A cosmic year is how long it takes the solar system to complete a revolution of the galaxy. This would correspond to the stars being right

[@fujikamifl91]

Hypothesis...have you looked at the old ones? if summoning them brings chaos, destruction and devastation then our world is in trouble...if you've looked at them then you can see their summoning in the children's movies such as frozen and finding Nemo..and in their video games such as Minecraft...and in some of the destructions we've recently seen...the gulf oil spill, the fires, the pandemic, plagues etc...just check out these "old ones"...they are TROUBLE...and they have their cult followings who are "summoning" them...if you don't believe you only have to look at our world...Jesus Christ is the only one more powerful than them..

I've only listened to a few of your productions so far, and mostly not even in the Cthulhu mythos. You bring everything to life so well! Your tone and cadence is wonderful at bringing out the horror in the shorter (20-30 minute) stories, so I'm excited to have found this treasure trove of audiobooks. Delightfully horrid listens, and it's great to have access to the texts themselves to catch the more archaic language and the names that auto-gen subtitles absolutely mangle. You've whetted my appetite for a much deeper dive into this cosmos and served me up a beautiful all-you-can-eat buffet. Thanks so much for all your time and effort!
