About this listen

A discussion of some mainstream and classic story stories and book in the Sword and Sorcery, Fantasy, and Gothic Genres. Branching out from my YouTube channel this series will focus more on the in-depth analysis of each story. In General, we will walk though: 1) The story, the characters, and the places where these take place, 2) The themes that surface in the story, 3) The aspects of each story that hit me the most, and 4) Further reading suggestions if you've liked this story. Along the way I'll make my general old man rambles and some snippy comments.The Tennessee Fats Library Art

  • The Tennessee Fats Library Podcast - Episode 3 - Silvia Moreno-Garcia's Mexican Gothic
    Dec 9 2025

    Welcome to Episode 3 of The Tennessee Fats Library PodcastIn this episode I'll walk through Silvia Moreno Garcia's Mexican Gothic. This is a newer gothic piece that was actually recommended to be my the editor of Universal Monster's Dracula Comic a few years back. Unfortunately after reading the back cover on this one I became way to scared to read it and it sat on a shelf collecting dusts.Well last month I decided it was time to get off my patukus and fix that.So after a really enjoyable read, it was time to sit down and type out a LOT of notes about this one (since I COVERED my copy in dog eared corners and pencilled in notes).Although this one is a long one I'll stick with the same format I've worked through on the last two episodes.I'll start with a brief summary of when this one was published and what version I'm reading and then we'll get into the following topics:1) What's the Story About?2) What are the major Themes that Occur In the Story?3) What aspect of this story hit the hardest for me?4) What further readings are suggested if you like this story?Then we'll wrap this third episode up. Not sure what I'll read for the next one. Suggestions?

    Oct 29 2025

    Welcome to Episode 2 of The Tennessee Fats Library Podcast

    In this episode I'll walk through Edgar Allan Poe's The Fall of the House of Usher. It's a bit of a more robust tale than the shorter one we covered in Episode 1 with some seriously different cadence and language, but a fun story none-the-less.

    I'll start with a brief summary of when this one was published and what version I'm reading and then we'll get into the following topics:

    1) What's the Story About?

    2) What are the major Themes that Occur In the Story?

    3) What aspect of this story hit the hardest for me?

    4) What further readings are suggested if you like this story?

    Then we'll wrap this second episode up!
