"The Oblong Box" / A Macabre Tale by Edgar Allan Poe

[@WeirdlyDrowning]

I listened to this tale while parked on a cliff watching the waves crash. Not in the slightest bit intentional but perfectly fitting.

[@afterschok6627]

Sounds amazing.

Last time I was this early, Warren was still alive

Lol 😂

[@awarningtothecuriouswerewolves]

Don't be too proud about that, you old sinner -- I'm still alive! Cheers, Warren

[@johnl9677]

That comment was unwarranted 😉

[@awarningtothecuriouswerewolves]

The animated cassette tape is a very nice touch good sir.

[@BeastlyEwok]

Ian my friend, I remember when you started out with 1,500 subscribers. Congrats on reaching 100k. I'm over the moon. I'm glad your hard work is getting it's much deserved recognition. Here's to reaching 150k!

[@HorrorBabble]

Thank you very much, BE! It has been quite the journey thus far...

[@rhoddryice5412]

The tape is running! I've never noticed that before.

[@blowitoutyourcunt7675]

Yay! It's been a while since we had some Poe! Cheers on 100K!

[@johannesdenzer240]

[@FallinFromTheSkyy]

[@merlapittman5034]

Poe has been one of my favorite authors ever since I was a young teen, and this is a wonderful telling of this tale

[@Thestephouse1]

❤ revealing my age here but anyone else start humming the old Phil Harris " as I was walking down the beach a bright n sunny day, I aspied a wooden box a floating in the bay.... " ?! 😂❤

[@williambell3893]

no. and without searching the phrase on Google (honestly) you have piqued my interest! Do tell...

[@nov1220]

I only listened to this because I got really curious about what glenn danzig was talking about in die die my darling and then POW allan poe is my favorite writer now after months of reading some of his books and poems, I really appreciate his work

[@rosiemcnaughton9933]

As always, thank you for bringing this story (which I've read) to life. Good story, great narration.

[@principlephotography7820]

Excellent reading of a Poe classic.

[@Drifter2025]

[@Soma-dr4jm]

[@Shakkarz]

As a little kid normally kids don't watch Vincent Price because sometimes you will have a older sibling who loves certain things like science fiction suspense horror ooowell Vincent Price strange but amazing character know from movies from the '50s '60s '70s and '80 what a great actor in some of his horror stories kind of over the edgey the oblong box

[@AcornElectron]

Warren is NOT dead! Simple as that. Keep up the good work fella and stay safe.

[@awarningtothecuriouswerewolves]

Yup, I still tread this mortal coil! Cheers, Warren

[@earthcat]

[@Firecracker66]

Merci beaucoup

[@timfreckman5227]

100K! Next stop 1 million subscribers. You guys are the best!

[@theslayerkelsoyolo371]

There are so many good stories on this channel I am just going to go crazy and listen to them while I have a walk on mushrooms

[@GoatOfTheWoods]

perfect story for 100k, congrats!

[@charliebowen5071]

The modern world never ceases to amaze me... there are channels of idiots doing idiotic things and have a vast following.. then there’s channels like Ian’s. An artist with the written word and storytelling.. intelligent and articulate and only this many subscribers!!?? It simply baffles me!

[@LyonsArcade]

it's such a great story, although you may be able to see some of it 'coming'... the only reason you've been conditioned to see things like that coming is because you grew up in a World that Edgar Allan Poe already lived in.

[@bidoofmania]

Can you do The Pit and the Pendulum next please? Congrats on 100k!

[@Bbergster]

I find that one quite terrifying. It’s like a nightmare. Waking up in a black, dark, dank, slimy, dungeon. Feeling around in the dark, with a huge pendulum scythe swinging, what, over a dingy hole or something? That’s almost scary as Poe’s face. U know the lovecraft story with multiple Poe characters? Ian’s probably going to do that. Too good not to.

[@HorrorBabble]

It's on our list for future reference, Alex!

[@kelseylatta5245]

15:20 This was so unexpected I said "holy fuck" outloud 😂

[@yellowbelly7863]

I'm happy we do not use the term "shat himself up" anymore. "Shutting oneself up" seems much less messy...

[@Endymion766]

Poor Wyatt. He just wanted to bring his wife back home. Now they're married under da sea.

[@thomasswafford250]

The CBS Radio Mystery Theater did a version of this. Richard Mulligan of Empty Nest and Soap starred in it.

[@adambartlett7955]

saw that one a mile away, still creepy tho when you think about what he was hearing at night

[@johnl9677]

Sheer bloody Poetry!

[@polarisnebro2074]

me wondering everytime who is warren

[@gregoryturner9530]

@Yog Sothothologist I appreciate this username more than you know :)

[@mikereilly7629]

I've always loved J Sheridan Le Fanu.he is much underrated, today

[@awarningtothecuriouswerewolves]

I thought the box would have been full of ballots! Cheers, Warren

[@fumomofumosarum5893]

aww, sad

[@Bbergster]

Takellie Lee..... Te Kelly Lee!!! Is that from Poe? It’s stuck in my head and I can’t connect the strings. Why is that so bothersome? When u just can’t quite remember! Dag golly.

[@kelseyjustice1881]

Sounds like from the ending of "at the mountains of madness"

[@jg997]

Any Ray Bradbury?
