Domestic settings use to be a novelity, but now they are common, if not mandatory. That's not bad, just uniform. I always like to believe we live in large world full wonder, not small world, where there is nothing new.

Dang, Ian is a true renaissance man! Voice actor, author, composer...what can't he do? 😎🔥🙌

"Low, liquid, mini voweled words" is great description

Excellent. Thank you Mr Gordon and Horror Babble. Until next time.

This story is actually the sequel to An Offering To The Moon, woukd you vonsider reading that as well? Between these 2 stories and Out Of The Aeons you would have covered the tales of lost mu by both Lovecraft and Clarkash-ton. @HorrorBabble

Very Poesque. Reminscent of MS. Found in a Bottle.

Great choice Ian, C.A.S has a style of writing, that even to this day very few come close to match it. Also great job on sound, and music overlay....you never cease to impress my friend, keep up the great work....

John L I wish these guys had another channel for speculative fiction that won’t give nightmares when you fall asleep. My old favorite was the podcast “Far Fetched Fables”

The music is capturing, reminds me a little of the melody of Bookends. Very thoughtful. Thanks too, for the story 🙏🏽📖

I've read this more than once myself when I was younger. Excellent job as usual. I've always wondered if the captain Melville in the beginning of the story is a nod to Herman Melville?

Love your music. Beautiful ❤️

Excellent narration! Thank you!

Fantastic story and narration! I'm so glad your works opened my eyes to C.A.S. I cannot believe I never read this, nor many if his works prior to finding your channel. I love the description of the Isle, people, buildings, the ships, the oars, and everything. Great music piece too! Fantastic work! You are a narrator and composer extraordinaire! Thanks for bringing this true gem to us.

Well done as always on the reading, the intro music was beautiful

Narrator has a bit of Malcolm McDowell about him. You can rely on me, Fred.

That was amazing!... Thank you for posting the video.

''At the island of madness..''

Just came across this one. Great job Ian. You should also ‘The Seed From The Sepulcher’ 😱

Only in madness could he traverse the barrier...

I can't help think of this as a horror version of Gilligan's Island.

Outstanding!

"irremeable" - there's a word you don't hear every day. Or ever before, as far as I recall. :-)

AWESOME !!!!!! :-)

Love your stuff time to light my pipe by the fire place in my castle

Island.

This is Clark Ashton Smith, so I am expecting a monster.

That was fuckin clean.

Hahaha why does it always rain and thunder in Georgian Bay when we decide to listen to you weave a tale

Fantastic story, literally. However, I can't forgive him for not rescuing the child! Since no one seemed to see him, it would have been easy for him to swoop in and the little one would be scooped through the air. That would have been something for his rescuers to wonder over.

I wonder why they paid no heed to him yet he could touch them; use their possessions and even eat their food ! 😏

Capt Melville , as in Herman ?🐳

it was the Dragon Triangle

If I were him I would have taken greater advantage of the situation and would have never gone back into the temple after my first look it's their faith not mine real people who don't give a damn about your presences people who ignore you even when you shout at them ,but are just as solid as you are you can sleep in their home without notice I'd take an ax and cut wood adding it to the boat to improve it's stability in the water and cloth for a sail and catch the strange fish too not only as food ,but as proof the main character doesn't mention a wife or girlfriend and there are young people since they don't notice you find one without a man of her own if she doesn't care then take her along if she wanders off while your back is turned then and I know this sounds bad ,but tie her up and put her in the boat she can help with the rowing if she notices you at last try to communicant if the people are so oblivious then I don't think they'll care if she's gone ( I KNOW IT SOUNDS BAD ) but...

Just rambles on and on and on..... AVOID this one!
