Only Clark Ashton Smith would write a story about stealing chastity belts. Robert E. Howard would think it too silly, and Lovecraft would never.

@@WilliamStreiff I am not 100% certain about this but I don't think he was. Howard and Smith were well aquainted and spoke often but I think there is some distance between their respective universes. Howard wrote about the lands of Hyborea. The timing of which are post ice age. Smith wrote about the lands of Hyperborea. The lands above the artic circle pre ice age. Also Howard describes hyperboreans as basically being albinos. Extremely pale with white hair and red eyes. The characters in Smiths stories are not described in the same manner. I haven't read everything of Smith's yet but I don't remember albinism being mentioned. I know they wrote back and forth extensively but I think a character like the magician Eibon of Muthulan is not from the same universe as Conan. I could be wrong I admit due to their contact but some fundamentals don't square

My blue oyster mushrooms find your voice most soothing, thank you from one Ian to another!

Awesome thanks Ian much appreciated good sir!

THANKS FOR BEING HERE MISTER GORDON GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY...

Wildly underrated channel. Y'all deserve way more subs/views then you get.

I want a vial of that ghost powder they use during the heist. Sounded like something I experienced on mushrooms. Semi-translucent phantasms creating a din in the hallway. I remember it like it was yesterday. Thanks for the CAS and keep em coming. Sidenote: Carnacki and Van Melsen(2 of my 7 cats) were engaged to locate and recover the referenced girdles. Sadly, they were only able to reclaim 30 and the other 9 are still at large. It happens to be the only "cold" case on the books. If you have any information concerning the whereabouts of the remaining girdles, please phone immediately. One of my other 5 cats will be by the receiver waiting for your call.

Love me some HorrorBabble!

The Cube!

I absolutely loved this one! CAS is one of my favorites and the icing on the cake is your exceptional narration Ian!

This is an amazing story and narration! I love it! Clark Ashton Smith created a fantastic world not many know about these days. However, once a person reads or hears just one tale, they become hooked and listen to them one after another, time and again (I know I do). This really was a cool story. The plot was neat and gave me a chuckle. It also contains the requisite shady shyster. As always, the narration is peerless. Oh, thanks, again to introducong me to so many C.A.S. stories. He was an amazing author and artist.

Indeed.

It's always a treat to hear HorrorBabble reading CAS!😎🔥⚔

Oh well, I need the other kind of girdle. I'm loving this story! Can't go wrong with C.A.S.

Ah I recall reading this tale years ago. I found it highly amusing both for the hallucinogenic powders, the simple method by which they transported the goods, and of course the ending. I loved the ending. I did not, however, realize this was the satampra zeiros. It must have been before the tale where he started, "I satampra zeiros write this with my left hand for I no longer have any other."

I knew he was going to take it when he went off alone after the raid....😂😂

Smith was too damned good. He seems to always have known just the right word to put down. Maybe its just my amateur ear for sentence structure but his writing always sounds so natural and yet too clever to be just a quick little quip that somebody rattled off.

I love the language of Lovecraft, Howard and particularly that of CAS and especially their wild and eclectic vocabularies, it part of why they were so good.

Hyperborea!

The Seven Geises left me spellbound, CAS is truly a purveyor of the finest fictional fancies for furtive fixation forthwith....

Coming from someone who has "Burn" by The Cure as a favorite is praise indeed. Reminds me of a school friend ,Mark.who I never see anymore. Thanks 👍

“Satampra Zeiros and the Beguilement of the Bejeweled Bloomers” …does no justice to Mr. Smith himself but a charming Hardy Boys title. Thank you for your exceptional work Ian. I look forward to what is in store for Haon-Dor.

What a brilliant story, really enjoyed it thank you ❤

Sad it ended

Thank you Ian!

Hope everyone has their holy chastity belts on for this saucy one. Benny Hill vibes.

Oh, I love a good Hyperborean Cycle story!

Beautifully read, thank you for your fantastic work!

OK be honest now How much did you enjoy getting to say "Veezi Phenquor" that many times? lawdy lawd, I love Clark Ashton Smith

This pales in comparison to Lex Luthor stealing 40 cakes

Honestly, I feel like this story doesn't deserve to be on this channel: a bland unimaginative plot, idiotic names, and a narrator whose only use is that he can carry a heavy sack - all other work is planned and made possible by his accomplices. It's an American swashbuckling story at its worst. At least they didn't quite get what they'd hoped for in the end!

Not my cup of tea.
