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?

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!

Welcome to Episode 1 of The Tennessee Fats Library PodcastIn this episode I'll walk through Robert E. Howard's Sea Curse (not THE Sea Curse, it's just Sea Curse...).

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 first episode up.

Welcome to the Tennessee Fats Library!

This channel was specifically created to allow me to dive into the books and literature that I already cover in the Tennessee Fats YouTube Main Channel:

Why the second channel? Well, in skimming through the books and stories in the main channel I'm avoiding the spoilers as much as I can but in the process of doing that we're missing the "Meat & Potatoes" of those stories.

So I created this channel to strip things back and just talk though the stories in details. No editing, no background music, single take recordings of me at the desk with my notes just talking through the books.

Why would you want to watch the video? Well, you wouldn't. BUT what you might want to do is stream the podcast sometime when you're out jogging, or driving, or taking the train and just focus on the story.

I cannot guarantee there won't be any side-stories as we go (as I do tend to include them at ALL times), but at least I'll try to make them enjoyable.

Welcome to the channel everyone and welcome to the first stabs I make into a podcast.
