I never get tired of hearing "the dreaded and monstrous necronomicon, of the mad Arab Abdul Alhazred"

The oldest and most powerful emotion is fear, and the oldest and most powerful fear is fear of museum patrons.

The shwarmi putra guy is randolph carter after he comes back to earth in the bug body from i think yuggoth. (Gate of the silver key)The description of him fits perfectly.

I'm addicted to the narrations with this voice. They help me sleep when sleep feels impossible.

Another thoroughly enjoyable reading from Ian! Also, I do not consider any tale officially Lovecraftian until I hear the word "cyclopian".

This is isn't his most famous work, but is definitely my favorite! This story is so captivating and intriguing, I love that fact that makes you want a 2nd part, but that would ruin all the mystery and imagination where your mind takes you after finishing it.

homeboy had no mouth and he needed to scream. hoohoohoo

OH my eyes are open. Fear the blood, fear the old blood.

This would make for such a good movie. The problem with Lovecraft in movie is showing the evil being. In this story you never have to show it. Only glimpse it once.

One of the finest tales of the Cthulhu Mythos, superbly delivered. Delicious!

I love falling asleep to this stuff. Best nightcap ever!

Cancel all my appointments for the next hour!!

Didn't expect it to be as good as it was. Also isnt it weird how everyone in Lovecraft's stories know about the necronomicon dispite it supposedly being a rare and secret text?

My goodness, I've just been going through your archives. You have so many horror tales I do believe I can spend the rest of my like listening to one a day. Thank you so much. I love horror tales. I believe I'll work on Edgar Allan Poe next. He has always been a favorite of mine

My only problem with horror babble's lovecraft collection is finding something I haven't listened to at least twice.

Many thanks again team, where would our nights be without you. ❤❤

Just wanted to say, "thank you for sharing your time and talent to produce this channel".

That's one hell of a living sculpture in the video, if I'm seeing it right. This story crept into my dream in the form of my cat's paws, they had tentacle like suction power and my cat was like the mummy but still adorable. He kept hunting my hand and trapping my fingers between his paws, it felt really weird, my ex was there and I woke up.

This is by far the most terrifying work of H.P.L I've heard until now. What an absolute masterpiece.

“curator pickman”? 🎩 surely, that’s not by accident.

Well done Ian. I asked for this one a while back because there is no other decent narration of this story. The only trouble is that, as with the Dreams in the Witch House with Brown Jenkin, l now want my own Ghatanathoa so l can take him out for a waddle down the High Street where he can bring terror and petrifaction to the inhabitants of Deptford.....excellent.

Finishing off this brilliant series with H.P is just perfect. You have made my day!! Thank you very much!!

This story is fascinating & well narrated.

THANK YOU! My favourite of all of Lovecrafts work!

I think I found my new favorite channel 😀❤

Thank you ❤

Me too !! 💜💚💛💙💕😸😸😸. I've enjoyed this series SOOO. MUCH.....TY 😳

This is my favorite Lovecraft story. Thank you for reading it and this channel.

I'll never be able to read Lovecraft without hearing your voice narrating it. Thank you for all your hard work.

Excellent

I'm so happy to see your sub's growing !! 😸

If you enjoyed this I recommend a film called the autopsy of Jane doe which I suspect drew inspiration from this story

Wonderful

I keep trying to listen to this one (and I think I've read it before) but that mummy is freaking me out! 😅 I'm laughing at myself over it. I'll try again during daylight hours!

I have been waiting for this for a while. Thank You!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is an amazing story. This story NEVER gets old! I listened to it slowly today and rewound parts to pick out all the details. This is an amazing work of art. This is a well-written story. I love the links and references to other mythos stories and "books of the mythos." There are many links to other stories included in this. Fantastic narration, as always. To be that way for 173,000+ years! Well-done!

Very good how the healing power of the Real Scroll is described. Without mentioning it straight out. Everybody who reads it knows that the strange stiffening feeling disappeared after handling the true Scroll. Well done, it's one of my favorite stories by HPL and HH. I still hope for the Trail of Cthulhu, complete. There are some loose stories available. I would like to hear from "The House on Curwen street" up to the "Black Island". But Copy right is probably difficult. All the best to you Both.

I've only just started listening to some of Lovecraft's stories, and I've just realised how many Lovecraft references there are in Fallout 4.... ^^

Great Scott! Brilliant production values and an excellent voice/reader make this adaptation well worth listening to. Keep up the awesome work.

Scary geez wtf but awesome nonethe less thanks for the great story excellent reading

Possibly the scariest, most disturbing, body horror story of all time. I remember being highly disturbed by Cain's brain scene in the 1990 Sci-fi film RoboCop 2 the first time I watched it as a kid (sadly I can't link to the video directly in this comment because it's flagged as mature content - but you can easily find the scene via a simple KZfaq search). Lovecraft was somehow able to take a similar disturbing concept to a completely different level 55 years prior. Hazel Heald couldn't have selected a better author to collaborate with. I don't know how much of the story Lovecraft had to edit and adapt to get the final result, but her foundation was obviously solid enough for Lovecraft to turn it into a masterpiece.

Thx for another wierd and wonderful tale, told as if it came from the crypt itself.

Thanks for the vid sir.👍🏼👍🏼🖖🏼

Just Listened to This, What can i say?. Fantastic That's What!! Strength to Strength Ian🙌🏻🙌🏻

H.P Lovecraft is AWESOME!

Without further ado...................... ..................................... lol. Had me hanging. Thanks for the vid.

I love this one. Great reading, as well!

Recently discovered and loving every minute of it .

Amazing story, especially the ending

Love u for doing these m8

This was an incredible tale. Fantastic reading. Thanks Ian.

17:23 I love this. Just absolute murder of newspaper coverage.

Imagining the suffering of Ty'og gave me a rough night. What a horrible fate!

I love that Pickmans curator position was mentioned here to broaden the lore

take a shot every time Lovecraft uses the word "cyclopean" in any of his stories. JFC lol

Keep coming back to this one since you guys posted it. So awesome and the ending man. Love your channel. Sucks what happened to you guys. So messed up hopefully you can find a solution that works the best for you.

Hey guys great thanks a lot (spoilers) It was more horrible than I thought! The picture of that mummy matches the description perfectly AND there was a dude trapped in it at the end?? Eww! I hate the thought of being trapped in an inanimate object for all eternity. And when I was a kid my mom took my took me to the Rosicrucian Egyptian Museum, which I'm just reading now was founded by the esoteric Rosicrucian Order, and they had a freaky mummy and all kinds of other stuff. There was actually an ad for it in one of the old "Weird Tales" I looked up. What! Thanks mom! Excellent reading!

Amazing Work! ☕

Wow! Awesome! That one was really good.

What a perfect image to illustrate this story! (shudder)

Abdul alHazred was my great grandfather.

Terrific performance!

fuuuuuuuuuuu man that last part still sends shivers up my spine. legit couldn't finish it till the next day

It is interesting that Science pushes back human history with every new discovery..... Once again, fiction precedes discovery of the natural world. I wonder what Lovecraft and others would make of these new discoveries....

but forgotten are the bovine people of moo

Great read.

One of Lovecrafts best IMLTHO. Great job Ian/HB.

Wow.. the descriptions of the cult in the 3rd section are on par with Tolkien's lore in names and terminology.

Great story and well told

Press 1 for most excellent story Press 2 for most excellent non fiction story

Thank you

5:48 fear and loathing

Wow this is terrifying^^ well done

Poor ancient heroic and tragic priest, he did not deserve such a horrid end.

I enjoy strolling the lonesome nite within the woods of Red Dead Redemption 2 while listening to such tales.

When I hear your voice I imagine Alex Delarge from Clockwork Orange

the gravity of what they found is so well laid out by the story after they open the skull at the end, I would probably have shit myself if i were in the room while it happened

At last, the only story by HPL, that I haven't heard. I know that HazelHeald co wrote but I think it's mostly Lovecraft coming through. I was surprised about the way characters and events from past stories were in the plot. Thanx so much for the effort that you put into your productions. Really enjoyed this!

This guy is s great reader. He could make the phone book sound great!

Von Juntz is a German name. It should be pronounced 'Von Yuntz'. Just like Dr. Karl Jung (Young in English).

*final thing happens* Me: was not expecting that. But then again I expect the unexpected so it doesn't count

Went through the ages intact, just to be vivisected :( I wonder if this was on King's mind, when he wrote Autopsy Room(?)...

If something this contagious would break out, only can be cured by a scroll.... Man that would be something...

"We indignantly refused to abet such superstitious notions" Any sympathy i had for the narrator died at this point

I always loved H.P. Lovecraft stories, in fact, I have been thinking of writing a little novel series in a similar style as both the author and Edgar Allan Poe, however, I have not thought of a title..... yet but I'm not giving up on it, although, one idea gives me the name "Dark Alleys of Cthulu and the bar of the Outer Gods." Idk, give me feedback by comment.

I cant wait to listen to it

listen at .75 speed for extra spookiness!

I like the ghost writings he did with Hazel Heald. All of them =-)

Out of the Aeons...I'm coming for you!

just feeding the cosmic horror that is the Algorithm

the odd tall dark man with the turban, rubbery face and wrapped bulging hands who came to see the mummy... Maybe Randolf Carter?

For a surprise: Fullscreen this video, Turn all the lights off, and hold your phone in front of your eyes and jiggle it while staring at the mummy

How I wish I have a voice like yours Ian

An interesting take on the Medusa mythos.

This is like HPL writing a Lovecraft pastiche. Almost embarrassingly entertaining.

This would make a pretty good movie, I think.

Oh I LOVE this! Read it first in the early 80's. Fabulous1

They sound like detective halligen from mystery of the druids.

And he doesn't realize it is the real scroll that cures the "stiffness" they all experience..."😉
