One of the many things I love about this channel is that every time I discover a classic horror tale I've never heard of, and really want to like, I can come here and find it and I will *always* find a truly outstanding performance. I was truly surprised to find a different reader. And massively surprised to find that I was just as blown away. Welcome Dave! 🎉

Dave's voice is absolutely brilliant! A wonderful addition to the team. Thanks for another amazing reading.

Your guest reader is Very Very Good, he catches the Raison d'être' of Poe's strangeness.

Excellent reading. Love to hear the obscure stories of the macabre not just The Call of Cthulhu and The Tel Tale Heart. Great work HorrorBabble !

@Howard Phillips Lovecraft dear loyal acolyte we all agree and wonder :How-Come" thou aren't not reading thine self, o great noble godly one?

I sat at the grave of Poe, in Baltimore, on a dreary and dank day in October, that produced very little rain. The bleakness of thunder rolled overhead and below feet. The heavens met the hells! On this slab of stone, on this obliquely dreadful leaden sky day, with the bust of Poe by my side, I sat in horror. For the wind seemed to call out or should I say crawl out of the bowels of the succumbering Earth! The hideous and vile utterances that berated my ears, sent shivers down my spine and eluded my direction. For it was once only uttered in this vale of wispy white yet chilled cloud engulfing me, so much so that my sight grew feverishly dim. I too sat as stone, unhinged, unable to breathe or to move not a single muscle, except those of my two portuding flaps of skin attached to the oppiset ends of my wretched skull. They listened too, no, in fact they demanded to hear such dissident whispers again. For in all my years at the Poe grave, Ive never heard it again, tho certainly I have tried. The name uttered on that macabre day, William Willson!!!

i started this book because of school reading. i ended up staying because i love this story

"William Wilson" is a short story by Edgar Allan Poe, first published in 1839, with a setting inspired by Poe's formative years on the outskirts of London. The tale follows the theme of the doppelgänger and is written in a style based on rationality. It also appeared in the 1840 collection Tales of the Grotesque and Arabesque, and has been adapted several times.

Bravo, Dave Luukkonen! Marvelous performance.

I love Dave’s voice. It is reminiscent of that of Vincent Price. Brilliant video as usual.

Awesome story and narration! It is a timeless classic! Great job, Dave! It is good to hear you again. Thanks!

Great voice for narration!!! Good addition to the channel.

Good job Dave! Thank you 👍

I loved this reading! Dave did an excellent job.

Wow! Narrator is magnificent! This might be one of my favorite Poe stories!

Brilliant narration! Just superb!

That was a great listen!! Thanks to Dave for the reading and Ian for hosting another great talent!

Perfect voice for horror! Welcome to the team Dave 💕👏🙌

Thank you, I loved it.

Interesting narration, different but very good! Cheers mate!

Could listen to this man's voice for all eternity.

This got me through study hall -w- thank you so much and i love your voice definitely following.

Thanks so much for this!! Was awesome!!? 💜. 🦇..🧙🏻‍♀️🔮🦉

Dave with the funny last name is superb! More!

there are two of you who read these stories and, as i’ve said before, your voices are so calming. the reason i’m mentioning this is because i was just listening to vincent price read a Poe story - and i just couldn’t stand it. he just drones on and on. it’s ok when he’s in a movie, etc. with other people, but listening to him reading - nope. and so here i am - again with praise. - how monotonous i be :} 🐾. (this guy is good, too :)

thank you!

I grew up reading Edgar Allan Poe, and his works have a special place in my heart now in my twilight years.

Narrator is excellent. Reminds me of the wonderful voice of Kelsey Grammer

Grate voice Dave can't wait to hear more ,(still love you Ian don't worrie)

Edgar Allan may have made it out of Baltimore if he had Bill W. as a friend.

As a Canadian I was a little disappointed to hear the new narrator was also Canadian. Lol. I couldn't have been more wrong. Brilliant work and possibly my favourite narrator now.

Excellent reading of one of the greatest short stories ever written.

A powerful reading! I haven't listened to Poe read aloud for some time and am stunned by his command of language.

Fantastic reading

Canadian Narrator YAY!

Love this narrator! His voice gave me Vincent Price vibes.

No offense to your feature narrators, but I'm glad you don't do as many features these days, I love this channel for your narration, there's a certain quality to your voice that works so well with horror.

Please do Murders in the Rue Morgue!

I believe it was the narrator who was a Phantasm of Wilson, his darker side, always living at his expense. It was Wilson who was real, not the other way around.

Voice like Bryan Cranston at times. Rich. Muah!
