That intro lol It wasn't Warren who was dead, its me, because I died laughing!

[@janetcw9808]

I fell for it as well 🤣

[@Sailontodawn]

Me too!! Classic!!!

[@devilinthedetails9665]

Me too - I don't know if the mood was not somewhat shattered by it, but it was a great joke, nonetheless.

That was great.

When my friends get murdered I always tell the police that a "dark cloud" surrounds my memory, and they let ME go home

Finally, we get the iconic story with the new iconic scream. Not gonna lie, that one caught me by surprise

Omg!…I said the exact same thing…i am outside(2 years into the future from you by the way)…,after that intro I told myself,no this is for evening time after dinner ,I can’t waste it now!

[@WhiteLongSword7]

Warren story when? Lol that intro. Edit: oh this is that Warren lmao!

[@Duchess_Van_Hoof]

My very first Lovecraft story, and as such it will hold a very special place in the black void that is my heart.

[@shinobi-no-bueno]

Just remember, you fool, Warren is dead

[@orcyteo4054]

The opening killed me!!! Well played...

[@janetcw9808]

Well, you certainly caught me with the intro.... 🤔 🤣

[@grojuana]

I can't tell you how much I enjoy these recordings, lovecrafts style really "clicks" with this sort of narration/voicework. I don't think I would have found his body of work accessible otherwise. Thanks for the time and effort you put into these!

[@AcornElectron]

Ok, I’ve listened to it a dozen times now. The opening gambit is bloody brilliantly delivered Ian. Every time makes me chuckle

[@TheEldritchGod]

When HP Lovecraft scares me less then reality.

[@johncohl5960]

You guys made the pandemic/lockdown way less horrible. Much obliged. 🙌

[@williamfawkes8379]

Well done, Ian. Perfect Intro. This story is one of Lovecrafts more broadly entertaining stories, a stand out. Just so you know, this channel is one of only 3 that I allow to notify me of any new content, and that is because you put out quality, not constantly spamming your subscribers with nonsense. Your channel is a great thing, and you should be proud of your work.

[@ktcooki276]

William!! A year later, I can't help but wonder....who are the other two??!😊🇬🇧

Truly outstanding work! You’ve outdone yourself today with that voice acting! Also goosebumps in the end for hearing that iconic phrase

[@swordsmen8856]

Episodes like this are why we love you guys.

[@bluesow]

I loved the intro,as if the thing were remembering what story this was,lol!

[@Paxtonparsnip]

Loved the ‘you fool...’ and the merch idea! This stuff will become legendary urban, rural legendary ...anybody called Warren might find Where’s Warren? calls as annoying as anybody called Wally...

[@awarningtothecuriouswerewolves]

Ha! Warren lives! Warren!

Thanks again, sir!

[@tjjudd101]

You fool! Warren is...well, if you don't know by now you'll know by the end of this story.

[@MoonLitChild]

Can we keep that intro going forward please?

[@natestarr9935]

This story's ending was what I found most intriguing about your channels introductions. Since then, I've heard multiple new stories in this genre thanks to your brilliant narration. Thank you for everything you do, and thank you for doing the story that brought me to you channel! If anyone reads this, check out NEMESIS by HP Lovecraft on this channel. Another great piece!👏👏👏

[@jeffashley5512]

Just started and already awesome!!!! I'll be back at the end Warren. Poor Warren we knew him well and yet the end is only the beginning.

[@01Kokoelmono]

Much needed! Thanks Ian and Jen!

[@CPWebster]

superb, couldn't wait for the final line

[@MrDozerdee]

What can a say . ART 🎨 AND BLIND HORROR. WHAT A Tale masterfully done. Bravo Sir Bravo.

[@PP-nb3cg]

A wonderful example of why narration is so much more than just reading words from a page. It's about understanding the characters, their motivations and the cadence of the story.

[@timfreckman7801]

What a way to go!.. Another awesome reading Sir.

[@DickGallo-dk7wi]

Ooh... Good one! The beginning had me ROLLING in my easy chair! Not an easy feat. Thank you Horrorbabble!

[@rayvance5999]

Best one yet. 100 out of 10 stars. The opening...pure gold

[@blixten2928]

My goodness! What a very funny beginning. The man's sense of humour is subtle and fantastic!

[@ianauck318]

I remember your first reading of this tale, and I gotta say you haven't lost your touch! A pleasure as always to hear these. And the bit of humor at the beginning was nicely done 👾👍

[@ralf7568]

You totally got me. Great narration

[@MaxGreen111]

That intro was SO funny 😭 HB never misses!

[@Anon26535]

Lovecraft once said he intended for The Outsider to be a sequel to this. I think what's going on is that Harley Warren wasn't killed by the undead things in the tomb, he himself is also undead, kept alive artificially like Dr. Munoz or the zombies from Reanimator. He's researching incorruptible corpses because, like Dr. Munoz before him, his body is still decaying and he's looking for a way to stop it. He fails and when we see him again in Outsider, not only has he deteriorated into a grotesque zombie, his brain has also begun to rot which is why he's lost his memory.

[@Wombats555]

Nearly spoiled your own ending :) Love your re-dos.

[@lonapopoki1181]

Is no one else concerned that he didn’t close the tomb door???

One of my favorite Lovecraft stories! Great job

[@XadrumLtd]

Ahh, so that's what it is from. I knew it was Lovecraft, but wasn't sure which one. Brilliant. Hope you had a good end of 2021.

Aha! At last...! Thank you very much. 😊

[@Sir_Outsider]

"Heard it well up from the innermost depths of that damnable open sepulchre as i watched amorphous, necrophagous shadows dance beneath an accursed waning moon. And this is what it said: "WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO REACH YOU ABOUT YOUR CAR'S EXTENDED WARRANTY..."

[@Nanosuit37]

Excellent as always. Thank you Mr. Gordon.

[@EmeraldLavigne]

Thank you for not spoiling the ending

[@donaldmccleary9015]

I searched in vain for this swamp and graveyard for years when I lived near the Gainesville Pike. Maybe I lucked out..... The area was still creepy at night, like the time my Jeep engine cut out and died in between Gainesville and Jacksonville! Great story and narration! The beginning is especially awesome! This is my favorite Randolph Carter story.

[@soulreaver1983]

This channel is absolutely amazing and awesome!😎👍

was waiting for this 😑 listened to another audio, have to state that was bellow par this on the other hand is not 😄 much love Ian ❤️

This is one of Lovecraft's I've not read. Excellent stuff!!

I am glad to see that my cease and desist order was taken seriously and Warren was not declared dead.

Never mind--I listened to the audio.

[@Guts_Punch_Balls_Throwup]

The intro was perfect.

[@rayswoop4947]

In no way am I a narrator, at all lol but if anyone would be interested to hear the reading of the first part of my story, I would love to hear what you think. I'd greatly appreciate it

[@onemisterfranko]

Wonderful work as always.

I thoroughly appreciate this channel ty

Warren Schrodinger's friend

[@AcornElectron]

The reread is waaaay better, if that could be conceived to be truth! Your timbre in the original reading is more than adequate but you’ve nailed both the phonetics and the delivery this time. A very, very good listen that’s easy to digest despite the relatively obscure and jarring language structure Howard used.

[@awarningtothecuriouswerewolves]

I was about to write, "Nice to know I survived for once..." but then I realized, You Fool, you've posted here already! Cheers Warren, whose mind, like Carter's, is clouded!

[@Cybercabra]

Thank you, sir, for that intro

[@Kampfwageneer]

awesome !

[@brianatkinson3516]

the intro. I keep listening for that reason. I always liked the story regardless.

[@DocZ82]

Can't believe it took me this long to listen to this one and get the joke lolz. Love it!

[@litaholic4572]

Very cool and humorous intro and the story is magnificent! Am head over heels for Lovecraft's mastery of imagery that paints such a picture for the reader that they will literally leave their present consciousness and be transported into the setting itself.

[@nanphx2038]

thanks!

[@anindk2049]

Great!

[@Bbergster]

Poor Warren is immortal! Thus... somewhere between totally alive and absolutely dead 💀. That’s what happens when u work with Randolph Carter. He’s floating in an evil limbo somewhere. Great discussion point, though! Thanks for the wonderful tales.
