Tangents On Cracked Spines

Updating mid-week, this podcast has your host, Frankie, reading public domain books aloud and not editing out the thoughts that spring to their neurodivergent mind. It"s like a one-sided book club.

The Dunwich Horror part I

Tangents On Cracked Spines ·

2023/04/02

We start reading H.P. Lovecraft's The Dunwich Horror. As we read the first three chapters, we find that Dunwich is dilapidated. That there was a boy born out of wedlock to an old family of the town. All the more spoken about because of his dark complection when his mother is albino. He also grows up very quickly, his house smells of death, and cattle seem to be disappearing.

Cat day poems

2023/03/29

It's apparently national cat day. Here's a collection of related poems. Americans, please attempt to reign in the laughter at the number of times I say "pussy," it is meant as cat. Featured are: "The Cat" by Charles Baudelaire, "The Cat that Walked by Himself" by Rudyard Kipling, "Cats" by anonymous, and "The Owl and the Pussy-Cat" by Edward Lear. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/tangentsoncrackedspines/message Support this podcast:

Tangents On Cracked Spines ·

2023/03/28

Today, we finish The Call of Cthulhu. We read about a sailor who has seen Cthulhu and lived (for a time) to (not) talk about it. One more short story before we move on from Lovecraft. Contact me?

Call of Cthulhu part II

Tangents On Cracked Spines ·

2023/03/24

This episode we hear the story of the New Orleans cult, I attempt to redact racist/outdated descriptors. And we end chapter 2 with a conspiracy that the narrator's uncle may have been murdered and that the narrator himself may be in danger. That's what you get for investigating ancient secret organizations in hope of notoriety. Support: Linktr.ee/frankiecore92 Contact: tocspod@gmail.com --- Send in a voice message:

Call of Cthulhu part I

Tangents On Cracked Spines ·

2023/03/14

Today we enter H.P. Lovecraft's possibly best-known work Call of Cthulhu. Also, you get to listen to me stumble over the author's, sorry - elder gods, consonant-heavy language. And some... less-than-desirable descriptions.

Women's history month poems

Tangents On Cracked Spines ·

2023/03/08

Hello all! I didn't do my homework, so we have poems by lovely ladies for March, rather than some fanciful sick monkey poems. Featured are "Neighbors" by Anne Spencer, "For the candlelight" by Angelina Weld Grimke, and "Ballade at Thirty-Five" & "Inscription for the Ceiling of a Bedroom" by Dorthy Parker. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/tangentsoncrackedspines/message Support this podcast:

The Colour Out of Space part III

Tangents On Cracked Spines ·

2023/03/07

Lovecraft lovers! We end this cursed drink of water today and prey for the souls that must drink from the Arkham reservoir. At least now that we know the whole story of the blasted heath. And I rambled. A lot. Even for me. My sleep schedule is all messed up. Support? Linktr.ee/frankiecore92 contact?

The Colour Out of Space part II

Tangents On Cracked Spines ·

2023/02/28

More madness from H.P. Lovecraft. This time the Gardners' farm went from being colorful but bitter, to grey and decaying... or rather necrotic. And luminescent. And Ammi had to do and see some terrible things in pursuit of being a good person. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/tangentsoncrackedspines/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/tangentsoncrackedspines/support

Mini-sode 2/21

Tangents On Cracked Spines ·

2023/02/21

I really went more patriotic than president's day, but that's because I felt closer to it. There's also a lent/Easter poem by Emily Pauline Johnson. Also read were "I hear America Singing" by Walt Whitman and "Let America be America Again" by Langston Hughes who was highly important in the Harlem Renaissance. In fact, I feel his name is almost synonymous with the movement. Happy Black History Month, all. YouTube Channel is still in progress. You can see all of my links here:

Frankenstein part 1

Tangents On Cracked Spines ·

2023/02/14

We begin our first story today, written by the mother of science fiction: Mary W. Shelley. I appologize for the stuttering, I was outside in the wind, trying to hold my phone and my reading material at the same time. I'll do better next time. Warning: if you only know the movies, you will be confused at how this starts. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/tangentsoncrackedspines/message Support this podcast:

John Henry

Tangents On Cracked Spines ·

2023/02/08

Today I read the folk song of "John Henry" for black history month. And the take away that while being better than the machine may make you famous, it's not worth killing yourself at work. We need money in this society, but we also need to live. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/tangentsoncrackedspines/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/tangentsoncrackedspines/support

The Nameless City

Tangents On Cracked Spines ·

2023/02/07

We start our collection of H.P. Lovecraft stories with The Nameless City. We follow a Nameless narrator as he explores a city only known in lore and quite literally descends into madness. Which, let's face it, that's how all of Lovecraft's stories end. In madness.
