Initially disappointed that I was not going to hear my favourite voice narrating this piece, I was pleasantly surprised by the wonderful quality and intonation of Dave's voice. A great asset to your team. I will not be so presumptive in future.

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

What great reading of this tale. The tone and voice inflictions really add to the entire atmosphere and suspense. Great job!

"Other, more dangerous, seductions..." the good stuff, I'm sure.

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 !

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

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

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

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! 🎉

This one took me a few times to get through, it was very fascinating and I love your narrator

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 :)
