Guiding you through the obscure pathways of literature, one video at a time.
Welcome, fellow bookworm. This channel will seek to get you more closely acquainted with books and authors seldom, if ever, talked about on BookTube.
Be it underrated classic horror, eerie old-school weird fiction, ancient gems buried under the dust of centuries past or soul-shaking novels by deserving authors from my home backwater, the Balkans, I hope you'll find equal part amusement and food for thought on this my humble channel.

🗿☕️👌✨️
Thank you.😊
What a great channel, all the best and thank you for your work
With such kind and encouraging comments like yours, I feel inspired to keep on going. A sincere thank you! 😊
I've never heard of this story before. hanks for bringing it to my attention. I was hoping to dust off my Smyth & revisit my college days of reading Ancient Greek. No such luck. While I'm here, can you please point me in the direction of some good Bulgarian novelists? Perhaps from the early to mid-20th C? I am a huge fan of Balkan music & would like to expand my grasp of this culture. I will happily check out your other offerings.
Thank you! I'm glad you liked my video. As for a Bulgarian author from that period, the safe choice would be Aleko Konstatinov. I would personally go however with the melancholic but wondrous Yordan Yovkov.
@@BackwaterLibrarian Thanks for the suggestions, although it appears Yovkov doesn't have anything that has been translated into English. So, I have added a more contemporary Georgi Gospodinov The Physics of Sorrow. Keep up the great work on your channel.
You're welcome. A fine choice, Gospodinov would be a good option for a contemporary author. As for the Ancient Greek, I feel you. I also full-on studied it at university, but haven't had the time to come back to it since. With a good dictionary and grammar at hand I find it to be still serviceable though. 😉 Thank you for your encouragement and support. 😊
Great video, thanks! I'm just starting to read his work.
Thank you. 😊 I'm very glad you liked my video. Have fun with Grabiński! 😉
Nice work, rookie. Liked and Subbed.
Hey, everyone has to start somewhere, right? 😉 Definitely appreciate your support. 😊
I'd really like to hear more about obscure literature from you but maybe tone down the political commentary a little. Just felt a bit excessive
Thank you. I'd be glad if you would stick around. While I won't be hiding my political views per se, I definitely don't plan for my videos to be this political in general. ;)
I like your accent a lot, though it sounds more Russian than Bulgarian to me
Glad to hear that. :) Well, it's Slavic blood after all. :)
Great recs
I'm glad you like them. Thank you. 😊
I'm an American living in the state of Arizona one of the current hot spots for what we generally refer to as "the immigration issue". I have no university thesis to drop in your comment section. My experience has been that America is a nation of immigrants who love to complain about other immigrants. The groups change overtime but the conversation is always the same.
Thank you for taking your time to watch the video and for sharing your point of view.
Your blinders are on sir. The more immigrants we take it, the lower the cost of labor is driven, and the higher cost for key things like housing
@@Kim_YoJong Madam, I wasn't implying anything by my statement, the words are intended to be taken quite literally. I have no special wisdom or insight regarding the immigration issue other than the fact that the same talking points have been repeated verbatim throughout history.
@@robloggia fair enough then
Thank you
Thank you for your time and support. ☺️
I was going to leave a mean comment to discourage TH-cam from recommending me so many random channels with no views and no subs. However this recommendation was worth it
I'm really glad you've enjoyed my video. Thank you for not acting on impulse and for giving me a chance. :)
I haven't read ALL of his stories, but the ones I have read were entertaining/interesting, but for some reason I find Lovecraft's biography far more compelling than his stories. I have heard of Lovecraft's name most of my conscious life, but I don't remember WHY or WHEN I felt the need to read some of his stories, I do know that my interest in him is fairly recent, but NOT "fanatical" by any stretch of any imagination. If you like things "Lovecraftian", I recommend checking out the graphic novel entitled "Neonomican" by Alan Moore and Jacen Burrows....You're welcome.😉 PS Your accent wasn't a problem for me--interesting video/presentation, thank you for your efforts.
Thank you for your attention, comment, as well as the "Neonomicon" recommendation. Might check it out. ;)
@@BackwaterLibrarian It's a "comic book" with much more PATHOS than "comedy", but I think even Mr. Howard Philips Lovecraft himself would have been much impressed with the work. The ARTWORK alone is stunning.
