I know Conan isn't, strictly speaking, horror, but there are many Conan stories by Howard that are either centered around or have a prominent element of horror. Add to the fact that general consensus (as well as the authors) places it in the same world as Lovecraft's stories, much like Smith's Hyperborean Cycle, and I feel that there is a good argument for Ian Gordon narrating Conan stories with his **divine narrative voice**

@HorrorBabble Месяц назад

I'd love to tackle some Conan, but it has been done to death, which usually causes us trouble here on YT. Perhaps there'll be other solutions down the line...

@bobbymarcum772 Месяц назад

Oof! That's a bummer of a job. I did it for 9 1/2 years and wasn't happy the whole time. I will say that I wish I had this channel to help me through a lot of dull days. Thankfully I had the full set of the lord of the rings books on cd. I mustve listened to it at least 25 times from start to finish. Anyway, best of luck. If I can offer any advice, don't stay If you feel like your spark is fading out.

Great story and narration! I love it! It is an excellent adventure story, filled with sci-fi and esoteric lore! Written in the same style as "The Fire of Asshurbanipal." Love me some Howard! He really liked to use the last name "Brill". I always wondered if he eventually would have weaved a family story together if he lived long enough. Keep it up! This was a real treat and made me chuckle. Thanks!

Awesome Ian! This one was a little different than Howard's usual style IMO. Still good, but just off somehow as if maybe he were being hasty.

@HorrorBabble Месяц назад

He wrote so much in a short period of time. I mean he must have been at his typewriter most days. That might explain any perceived dip in quality from time to time.

@entrepreneursfinest Месяц назад

@@HorrorBabble I need to do some more reading on Howard. I wonder if he produced a constant stream of stories and then returned and really fleshed out the ones that he enjoyed or if he just stuck on a story until he was satisfied with it. Regardless, the man was a river of ideas. Thanks for your readings Ian! I used to read all of the time but with the way I work now I'm constantly waiting for the next H-Babble drop to listen to on my drives.

I thought "Ghengis" was pronounced something like "Dshengis". In German we spell him "Dschingis" and then there is that Kyrgyz author called Chinghiz Aitmatov, so I assume "Chinghiz" is the Kyrgyz version of the Mongolian name.
