I absolutely love this channel. I work third shift and listen to these stories every night.

You spoil us, Ian. Thanks for everything you do! This recording saved my evening during a dreadful trip to the ER.

After a night of sleeping with these fantastic stories in my ear buds, I am now a happy new subscriber. Thank you for this awesome channel

Ha, good supposition, mate ... However, I've heard it said that Warren is not yet dead ... Rumour is they've seen his face floating with his body forever in space.

You are such a phenomenal narrator. I always get excited when you post something new. Especially compilations!!!

Excellent collection of tales. Fantastic stories! I'm listening to it now. Fifteen tales to keep us busy. The two lines below crack me up: 1:17:44 1:18:51 Thanks!

Be on it H.B. at least a 2nd channel of a constant livestream. It will be worth while.

Listening to the Crystal Egg, it makes me see it almost as a prototype leading into War of the Worlds. Which could be an excellent dramatic reading on your channel if and when you are willing to do so.

MORE SCI FI!!! Don't get me wrong, the weird fiction is top notch. But sci fi horror seems like the logical successor to weird fiction.

He dead

Hi Ian/Everyone, I'm trying to locate a story which was recorded on this channel, probably a few years ago at this point, and can't for the life of me remember what it was called or who it was by. As far as I can remember, the premise is that of a news/radio transmission transcriber who is transcribing the news of a town/village slowly being engulfed by some sort of malign fog/mist. It's definitely not 'Fog Country' by Allison V. Harding - that I do know. Unfortunately I also can't remember whether it featured as a standalone recording, or as part of a compilation. If anyone can clue me in, it'd be very much appreciated!

next time HorrorBabble can you do the sci-fi story Marionettes, Inc by Ray Bradbury?? that would be awesome.

@HorrorBabble

Ай бұрын

Would love to, but very few Bradbury works are in the public domain.

I won't be bothering with these since as with much of the stuff here, (there can't be much CAS left that you haven't done,) I've read and reread most of them already but it's good see to Iain's original work included in the compilation and it stands up well which is quite a high bar. Nice to see Vonnegut, (a bit of a hero of mine,) included as well.

@HorrorBabble

There's a great deal of CAS we haven't touched yet... the man produced a LOT.

@Eris123451

Ай бұрын

That would be good and also perhaps an unexpected bonus since I thought that I'd read pretty much everything he, (CAS,) wrote already, (he's probably among my favorite authors of the classics of the genre for his use of language alone; after Lovecraft and familiarity doesn't necessarily breed contempt,) but I still pretty much enjoy almost all of your readings including your own stuff.

Fessendon's Worlds is perfectly horrifying 😮

Good I planned nothing for the upcoming seven hours!

First story: how was he able to watch the planet's development if it was moving with superspeed? He would not be able to keep it in his view for 1 second

Am sure this 1st story became a twilight zone episode.

A popular story by Laird Barron is a straight derivative of “The Fear Experiment”. It should be credited as an adaptation.

In the first story Mr smarty wizard does not adequately explain where the gas comes from which is the start of the universe. The gas is exactly the universe and no less where did it come from, I ask ye?
