Gates of Imagination

Welcome to Gates of Imagination - where classic tales get a second life through your headphones! 🎧

Ever wanted to experience Lovecraft's cosmic horrors while doing the dishes? Or maybe dive into Wells' time-traveling adventures during your morning commute? Well, you're in the right place! We're bringing public domain masterpieces straight to your ears, focusing on the weird, the wonderful, and everything in between.

Here's the best part: all our audiobooks are completely FREE and unabridged - because who likes paying for stories that are already in the public domain? Plus, you get the full experience, exactly as the author intended!
New stories materialize every weekday, bringing you fresh doses of literary greatness to fuel your imagination.

So plug in those earbuds and join our growing community of audiobook enthusiasts. After all, these stories weren't meant to gather dust on library shelves - they were meant to be experienced!

Quick update for everyone following the channel 👋

Because of the recent demonetization, we’ve decided to make the audiobook Mrs. Amworth available completely free outside YouTube. You can now listen to it on our Patreon and on Spotify. No paywalls, no strings attached.
👉 Patreon: www.patreon.com/posts/150666887
👉 Spotify: open.spotify.com/episode/5ycWIsmJdtLqGUqwH6lyFb

It’s a classic, slow-burning ghost story: quiet countryside, polite society, and something deeply wrong lurking just beneath the surface.
Thank you, as always, for sticking with us and supporting the channel ❀

It’s been a while since our last upload - and unfortunately, there’s a reason for that.
At the end of January, our channel was demonetized. For the past three years, we’ve been creating and sharing free audiobooks - bringing classic literature, fantasy, horror, and adventure to everyone who loves stories. We kept the channel running thanks to ad revenue through the YouTube Partner Program.

Now, overnight, we’ve not only lost our main source of income, but YouTube also withheld our January payment, which completely breaks our business model and financial stability. We tried to appeal the decision, but our efforts were rejected.
According to YouTube, audiobooks fall under “content that exclusively features readings of other materials”, which under the new guidelines makes us ineligible for monetization.

But this is not the end of Gates of Imagination.
We still have few audiobooks already recorded - including the next book in the Barsoom series: The Chessmen of Mars and the gothic short story “Mrs Amworth” by E. F. Benson. These and more will be released exclusively on our Patreon in the near future.

If you’d like to help us keep the channel alive and continue producing audiobooks for everyone, you can support us by:
☕ buying us a virtual coffee: buymeacoffee.com/goi.audiobooks
đŸ’« joining our Patreon: www.patreon.com/gates_of_imagination

Every bit of support means the world to us - thank you for being part of this journey. 💛

đŸ‡”đŸ‡± DzieƄ dobry! Exciting news from the Gates of Imagination team – we’ve just launched a Polish-language channel: Wrota WyobraĆșni!
If you (or your Polish-speaking friends) love classic weird fiction, check it out!

We’re kicking things off with stories by Stefan GrabiƄski – the master of “kolejowe weird fiction” (railway-themed weird tales) and often called the “Polish Lovecraft.”
His writing is full of eerie atmosphere and railway mysteries you won’t find anywhere else.

Would you like to hear something from GrabiƄski in English on our main channel someday? Let us know in the comments!
