From the Haunted Mansion in Saltree, Savannah, this is Obscure Season 2.

Frankenstein, I am your host, your friend, your lover, your literary mansplainer in chief

and Georgianologist Michael, Ian Black speaking to you today.

I want to say from the Jill Schwartz Memorial Library's southern outpost, but the fact of

the matter is to have a Jill Schwartz Memorial Library.

What do you need?

You need books.

And while I have books, they are boxed.

None of them are on shelves.

I am surrounded by boxes, pretty much 360 degrees from where I sit, boxes, boxes, everywhere.

And we have already unpacked many boxes, and we still have many boxes to go.

But I wanted to check in with you guys record an episode of Frankenstein.

So I thought, well, I'll just sit down with my copy of Frankenstein here and check in

and read some of Mary Shelley's terrific words, and we'll all have a fine time of it.

Well, the fact of the matter is, my dog is barking.

That's only barking in the background if you can hear him.

It's hard to say why, but he's in a new environment and different things cause the dogs

to bark now than before.

So I said to, oh, cause my wife and son just returned from an errand and they're coming

into the haunted mansion right now.

So I said to myself, I said, self, grab yourself a copy of Frankenstein, sit down, record

an episode of obscure the folks of love it.
