"The Ghoul Gallery" by Hugh B. Cave / Fringes of the Mythos 

“You fool! Warren is temporarily unavailable, please leave a message after the tone………….. PEEP! “

9:00 I love how in these old stories the doctors inject opiates and sedatives at the drop of a hat.

I forgot it was Wednesday. Now my day is complete with Horrorbabble. 💀

“….eldritch horror leaping out of the black night….” So we’re off to Wales then ?

Dare I say ghoulishly good?😏 Sybil's fierce devotion in protecting Edward was truly moving, this one is definitely a winner!😄

With a name like The Ghoul Gallery, I can't believe I've never heard or read this story! Great find. Thanks all!

This story was amazing in its own right but made even better by the telling. Ian, you possess the wondrous gift of storytelling. Lady Sybil was better than all the refined gold in this world!

Well, apparently these people need to call Carnacki.

Ghoul Gallery ... like the sound of that! 💜💀💜 #51😱

What a brilliant story, accompanied by a brilliant reading. Thank you, sir.

Snack - check. Blanket - check. Comfy chair - check. Lets do this.

A story that deserves to listen twice (at least). Thank you, Ian.

Always want more ghoul content

Nothing soothing me more than your elegant voice after a long day at work.❤ Thank you so much! 🇨🇦

your mythos fringe series is shaking out nicely - great choices Ian

I really like the work of H.B. Cave I hope you'll read more from him. Just like H.Kuttner, hope you'll get permission to read them to us. Lovely stories....!👍🏻👋🏻

Another compelling entry in HB's excellent Fringes of the Mythos series. What can I possibly say except thank you HorrorBabble! Your adaptations are wonderfully engaging and so expertly produced they're a pleasure every time in addition to helping spread high culture to the masses. Again, thanks HorrorBabble!

Ian, you are one the very best narrators I've ever had the pleasure to listen to.

I must have listened to "The Brotherhood of Blood" (by Hugh B. Cave) a dozen or so times. I'm thinking this tale is just as well-written (and creepy). I'll save this story for some time after dark. Many thanks, Ian. Cheers -- W

Babble on! Yes!

Excellent story and narration! Very good. Thank you Mr. Gordon and Horror Babble. Until next time.

Oooooooh I'm excited! I've been refreshing my page for the last 10 minutes. Thank you for the story!

What an amazing story and such wonderful narration 👍 Thank you 🙂❤️👍

Another brilliant story and reading. Thank you!

Reminds me of a Castlevania fan game I watched, where one of the places you explore is called "The Horror Gallery".

Another great “Fringe” tale. Hope you plan to have another series!

A fantastic tale. I was truly satisfied with it and Ian's narration was perfect. As usual of course 🙂

Thank you for all you do..God Bless

The most epic grudge 😧

The prose of the purple world drowning in adjectives

nice to have a good old-fashioned horror story with a happier ending than usual. : )

Oh this was a good one! Thank you!

Great job, Ian.

Amazing story and narration! This one is fantastic! I love this story, especially the ending. I will divulge no more so people do not complain of spoilers. This is a darn fine story. It's definitely worthy of "fringes of the mythos." I am going to be sad after this series e ds next week 😢. I want to read more about this author. Thanks, Ian!

Excellent narration. Surprised by the great quality of the narrator.

Excellent reading, thank you. 🦋🙏

This would make a wonderful black and white movie if done correctly. The story shows how the power of love can overcome evil. Thanks for your narration, Ian!

ghoul of vengeance, i love it

Excellent tale

Outstanding thanks Ian

"Skeletonic." Huh, that's a new one. Also, this is why doctor-patient confidentiality is a thing.

Loved it, a very compelling story. Should be made a short movie, filmed in the style of The Lighthouse perhaps.

I love Cave.

This is amazing. Now I'm moving on to the rest of the story. Thank you. Have a wonderful day 🤗💖🌟

I love happy endings in horror stories.😊

I’ve been avoiding this video….trying really hard to prolong our “Fringes of the Mythos” Journey! 😢 I’ll most likely do the same with the final video, as well!! I DON’T WANT OUR JOURNEY TO END! 😣😭

Another gem Sir, thank you!!!🙏👌👻❣️

Delightful!

Excellent!

I really liked it!

Spoiler alert below! I believe I missed something, but the other residents of the household won't leave me alone long enough to re-listen. So the body of the painter had secretly been placed into a hidden room inside the home of the family's sworn enemy? Did I miss something? Or was this psychically undead corpse inside a hidden space behind the canvas?

Marvelous narration, good sir! As soothing as this story was, I do feel an uncertain question welling up from the unlit depths of my own subconscious. How did Warren die?...

Ah what a great story, certainly not what I expected to have happened

Listening from the ukwales❤

If i were him i’d move into an apartment

Skeletonic is a great name for a band.

While this was thoroughly entertaining it has so many plot holes and contrivances it works better as comedy really **SPOILERS BELOW** 1)First off the bad guy pretends the feud is over and gives his enemy the most horrible picture imaginable as a gesture of reconciliation, wtf? 2)The family decides to put it on prominent display instead of quietly stuffing the ghastly thing into a closet and forgetting about it/burning it 3)Then when the bad guy dies he has his son somehow break into the house, find the picture, fit a 3 foot space behind it and inter his fathers coffin in that space without anyone being the wiser 4)When the ghoul starts working on the father he promptly decides its a family curse and demands his son not tell anyone, because hey, why would you want to warn your kid about the family curse? I mean they might actually be able to DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT if you did that! 5)And then in the centuries after no-one EVER takes the picture down to clean it, discovering the coffin 6)Not one member of the family moves abroad or just decides to live elsewhere in the country and avoids the curse 7)All of them "do their duty" by keeping the secret (because look how well that works out for the previous generation) 8)And not a single one ever thinks that maybe that hideous old portrait OF A GHOUL might have something to do with the curse when it strikes them Really though, I loved this story! It was just so silly!

Moral of the story; beware of Greeks bearing gifts!

❤

#474-✅👍 The secrets that the rich must keep... Because what would people think.. Guilt kills.

Old intro why?

I’m a romantic, so I loved this one!

✌️✌️

14th...woo

Very progressive of the author to make the young woman as a strong active character.

no edge to this one, just cliches. all too common.
