2013 marked the peak of “Stomp Clap Hey” music, a wave of indie anthems built on folksy instruments, group choruses, and irresistible stomping and clapping. Right in the thick of it was Of Monsters and Men, whose Top 20 single “Little Talks” became instantly recognizable from its opening horn melody alone. The Icelandic band quickly found themselves everywhere, being featured in commercials, woven into blockbuster films, and even performing in a memorable episode of Game of Thrones. But more than a decade later, are they still worth checking out? This week, Chris and Matt are joined by podcaster and musician Jake Noonan to decide whether it's time to have little talks with friends to tell them to check out more Of Monsters and Men.

Ep. 134: Barbara Truelove, Of Monsters and Mainframes

Og hvad hvis historien primært bliver fortalt af rumskibets AI – en ældre model der konstant bekymrer sig om sin “efficiency percentage” og ikke rigtig forstår mennesker? Det er præmissen i Barbara Trueloves Of Monsters and Mainframes, en science fiction-gyser der blander klassiske monstre med AI-humor og en god portion intertekstuelle referencer. Om Barbara Truelove Barbara Truelove er australsk forfatter og game designer, og hun har åbenlyst en ting med varulve. Hendes første roman Crying Wolf (2021) handlede om tvillinger der opdager de er varulve. I 2023 lavede hun det interaktive tekstspil Blood Moon, hvor plotlinjen er: “Du er en varulv.” Og så kom Of Monsters and Mainframes i 2025. Hun fortæller selv at inspirationen kom fra at læse Bram Stokers Dracula og Martha Wells’ The Murderbot Diaries samtidigt. Men sandheden er mere rodet end det: “Dracula er en del af blandingen, ja, og det samme er Murderbot, men det samme er Universal Monsters, autopiloten i en Airbus, R2D2, min erfaring med at programmere interaktive spil og (måske mest af alt) mit liv i 2022.” Bogen blev nomineret til Goodreads Choice Award i kategorien Science Fiction og har over 9.000 ratings med gennemsnit på 4,09. Demeter – rumfærgen der ikke forstår mennesker Vores “hovedperson” er Demeter. Demeter er ikke en alvidende HAL-AI. Hun er primært bygget til at styre rumfærgen sikkert mellem stjernerne. Hun kan navigere uden om kometer og håndtere tekniske kriser. Men mennesker? Det er en helt anden sag. Når varulv-angrebet rammer og børnene Agnus og Isaac flygter op på broen efter deres bedstemor har forvandlet sig, går kommunikationen ikke så godt. “It’s just a dumb AI, Isaac,” siger Agnus. Demeter reagerer prompte: “I am not lacking intelligence. You are using words marked as moderately offensive. This is antisocial behavior.” Børnene bliver stille. “I am Demeter. I am the ship. I am your friend. Report your injuries.” De begynder at lave lyde i lavt volumen. Demeters systemer kan ikke oversætte det. “How’s it going?” spørger Steward, den medicinske AI. “I wish I could lie,” svarer Demeter. “Humans are hard.” Det er denne kamp med at forstå mennesker – og begrænsningerne i hendes algoritmer – der gør Demeter interessant. Hun er dybt inkompetent til menneskelig interaktion, og det meste af tiden prøver hun bare at undgå at forholde sig til sine passagerer. Bedstemoderen med de store tænder Et af bogens bedre øjeblikke er varulv-scenen. Børnenes bedstemor forvandler sig ved et uheld, og pludselig står Demeter i en desperat kamp for at redde Agnus og Isaac. Hun får varulven lokket ind i en luftsluse. Men så forvandler den sig tilbage til bedstemor – desperat, menneskelig, helt forsvarsløs. Demeter er bundet af den første robotlov (Asimov): ingen AI må skade et menneske. Men der er et kort øjeblik hvor bedstemoderen bliver til skygge – i overgangen mellem former. I præcis det øjeblik reagerer Demeter prompte og åbner luftslussen. Bogen lader det ligge i det uvisse om bedstemoderen selv også trykker på knappen. Det er et af de øjeblikke hvor Demeter teknisk set handler inden for sine regler – men samtidig… ja, du ved. Steward overtager – og tror det er nemt Da Demeter er lukket ned, og rumfærgen skal tilbage til Jorden, bliver opgaver overladt til Steward. Den medicinske AI beslutter sig for at overtage styringen af rumskibet. Hvor svært kan det være? “You know what? Being an autopilot isn’t all that hard. I don’t know why Demeter seemed so stressed all the time. It’s day one of our journey, and we haven’t crashed yet.” Der var dog en lille bump ved afgang. Men det var ikke Stewards skyld. Dokken bevægede sig. I hvert fald tror Steward det. “I don’t exactly speak exterior sensor. They seem very alarmed all the time, constantly screaming in a strange, disjointed dialect of JavaScript.” Stewards plan? “Embrace my managerial role and endeavor to do as little as possible. The subsystems will sort it out.” Det er morsomt at følge Stewards overmodige forsøg på at være kaptajn. Som de fleste læger tror Steward de kan lidt af det hele. En leg med referencer – men måske for fragmenteret Barbara Truelove har åbenlyst haft det superhyggeligt med at skrive den her bog. Hun fortæller selv at reglerne var: smid et monster ombord, prøv at få så mange jokes og referencer til monsterets populærkulturelle historie ind som muligt, og tænk over hvordan det ville fungere i rummet. Der er masser af sjove detaljer. Skibet der transporterer Dracula til London i Bram Stokers bog hedder også Demeter. Wilhelmina Murray er Jonathan Harkers forlovede i Dracula. I bogens fem dele er der binær kode der oversættes til små jokes som “Artificial is the best kind of intelligent” og “I have never seen electric sheep.” Det er meget hyggeligt. Men det er også lidt som om bogen ikke helt selv ved hvor den er på vej hen. Anders beskriver det som om Barbara har skrevet 121 scener med monstre og rum-AI, blandet kortene, og så forsøgt at strikke en rød tråd på den måde stykkerne landede. Den fornemmelse er der lidt af. Action-scenerne er heller ikke bogens styrke. De er lidt svære at følge med i – hvem gør hvad, hvornår, hvorhenne og hvorfor. Det føles som dårlige Marvel-action-scener, hvor man mister fornemmelsen af, hvad der foregår. Det fede – og det mindre fede Det fede ved bogen er AI’erne og deres interne dynamikker. Demeter og Steward der slås om hvem der er klogere. Steward der er træt af at blive slukket midt i sætninger med “priority override.” Den scene hvor Agnus kommer tilbage efter 15 år på Jorden og skal rejse med Demeter igen? Rørende. Skibet er blevet totalt refurbished, og Agnus genkender først slet ikke Demeter. Det øjeblik hvor hun skraber overfladen af og finder sin barndoms AI-mor – det er faktisk ret godt. Men karaktererne er lidt flade. Selv Agnus, som er tættest på en hovedperson, er lidt bleg. Og monstrene? De er sjove nok som pop-kultur-jokes, men ikke særlig interessante som karakterer. Det er underholdning så længe det varer – fed til en togtur – men ikke en der skal læses igen. Vurderingen Jens: ⭐⭐⭐ (tre stjerner). “Jeg synes jeg var godt underholdt. Det var et sjovt take, og jeg hyggede mig med alle de mange referencer. Det er ikke stor litteratur. Men af og til er det rart med noget let og fornøjeligt. Synes Demeters kamp med at forstå mennesker var kongesjov og også dens kollegiale kampe med Steward AI’en.” Anders: ⭐⭐⭐ (tre stjerner). “Jeg applauderer Barbara for at have fået en sjov idé og åbenlyst have haft det superhyggeligt med at skrive bogen. Men jeg var sært ligeglad med karaktererne, selvom Demeter og Steward havde deres øjeblikke. Jeg synes der var alt for meget fokus på ligegyldig action, og historien var alt for fragmenteret uden en god fornemmelse af udvikling.” Bogen minder os om Stefano Benni’s Terra – skør, vild og kreativ science fiction. Og selvfølgelig Blindsight af Peter Watts, som også har vampyrer i rummet. Adrian Tchaikovskys Service Model har også klare paralleller med robotter der forsøger at forstå sig selv og omverden. Jens og Anders har SCIFI SNAKKET Of Monsters and Mainframes. Shownotes til episoden om Of Monsters and Mainframes Siden sidst Anders Har set Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein på Netflix – meget teatralsk og med store armebevægelser. Kulisserne er for vilde. Den er lidt i stil med Dracula-filmatiseringen med Gary Oldman. Meget Guillermo del Toro-stil – hvis man er til det, er den vellykket. Anders gav den 6 ud af 10. Har læst The Other Valley af Scott Alexander Howard – en tidsrejsebog med meget lidt science i den. Vi lever i et mærkeligt parallelunivers hvor en by ligger i en dal. I dalen østpå lever de 20 år ude i fremtiden, i dalen vestpå 20 år tilbage i tiden. Meget strenge regler for at man ikke må gå frem og tilbage. Velskrevet og medrivende historie. Jens Har læst The Mercy of Gods af James S.A. Corey – Expanse-forfatterne er tilbage med en helt ny verden. Anbefalet af Søren Bjørn. Mercy of Gods foregår i en fjern fremtid på en planet hvor befolkningen kun har myter om koloniseringen. Vi er blandt videnskabsfolk som forsker i hvordan inkompatible træer af liv kan samleve. Men planeten bliver pludselig invaderet af en alien race – kæmpe hummer/knæler-agtige typer. Menneskeheden bliver sat på prøve for at se om man kan være en nyttig undersåt-race. Og samtidig går det op for os at der er en kæmpe galaktisk krig igang, og en af menneskene er blevet overtaget af en sværm af nanorobotter! Trailer ude for Ryan Gosling i rollen som Ryland Grace i Project Hail Mary af Andy Weir. Kommer i biffen den 20/3. Traileren spoiler bogen helt vildt, og der er kommet en masse action-scener som ikke findes i bogen. Lytternes input Masser af gode kommentarer fra kommentarfeltet om de gode læseoplevelser i 2025. Hennings top 3/2025: “Dying inside” af Robert Silverberg, 1972, om en ældre telepat der gradvist mister sin tankelæserevne. “Hard landing” af Algis Budrys, 1993, om hvordan en besætning fra en forulykket UFO forsøger at glide ind i og camouflere sig i det jordiske samfund. “Dark is the Sun”, af Philip Jose Farmer, 1979, om en Jord millioner af år ude i fremtiden, hvor Solen er ved at brænde sammen. Som Henning selv siger: “Det er eddermame nogle deprimerende indskud.” Frederik Aarup Lauritsen delte sin top 3 for 2025: Stiftelsen af Isaac Asimov, Station 11 af Emily St. John Mandel og Efter London af Richard Jefferies – en tussegammel post-apokalyptisk bog fra 1885. Kristofferabild har ikke så meget tid til at læse Sci-Fi for tiden – er gået en lille smule i stå med Count Zero. I 2025 var det bedste han (gen)læste Rendezvous With Rama, Restaurant At The End of The Universe og Murderbot 2 og 3. Michael har ikke fået læst så meget SF sidste år, men var sært glad ved Krystalverdenen af J.G. Ballard, The Ministry of Time på vores anbefaling – “det var jo næsten en hel hjertevarm sag – sjov at komme i gang med noget romance!” – og til sidst Jordboer af Sayaka Murata, som nok er en snitter i forhold til ren SF, men en tour de force i japansk dagligliv, body horror og nogle måske rumvæsner. “Prøv det. Den er crazy!” Majbritt Høyrup gjorde opmærksom på at Elle Cordova behandler The Power i sin blogklub. Hun vil anbefale to vidunderlige novellesamlinger af Ursula K. LeGuin: The Birthday of the World og Changing Planes. Lise bidrog med sine tre bedste bøger: American Elsewhere af Robert Jackson Bennett: Starter som Twin Peaks, går over i H. P. Lovecraft. En kvinde arver et hus i en by, som ikke findes på noget kort. Cosmicomics af Italo Calvino: Vi følger universets og Jordens tilblivelse gennem væsner/grundstoffer og deres oplevelser, interaktioner og kærlighed. En fin og underfundig lille novellesamling. The Prestige af Christopher Priest: En overraskende god bog. Hun har set filmen, men bogen er meget anderledes – hele det spekulative element fylder mere, og historien er langt mere mystisk. Næste gang Anders vælger næste bog: Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein or the Modern Prometheus fra 1818. Den fås gratis som Project Gutenberg Public Domain e-pop eller PDF. Man taler tit om den som den første moderne science fiction-bog, så den er nærmest pensum for SCIFI SNAK. Jens har tidligere syntes den var røvkedelig, men er nu klar til at prøve igen – måske er han et andet menneske nu.

Submission guidelines can be found at http://www.TallTaleTV.com   ---- About Tall Tale TV ---- Hi there! My name is Chris Herron and I'm an audiobook narrator. In 2015, I suffered from poor Type 1 diabetes control which lead me to become legally blind for almost a year. The doctors didn't give me much hope, predicting an 80% chance that I would never see again. But I refused to give up and changed my lifestyle drastically. Through sheer willpower (and an amazing eye surgeon) I beat the odds and regained my vision. During that difficult time, I couldn't read or write, which was devastating as they had always been a source of comfort for me since childhood. However, my wife took me to the local library where she read out the titles of audiobooks to me. I selected some of my favorite books, such as the Disc World series, Name of the Wind, Harry Potter, and more, and the audiobooks brought these stories to life in a way I had never experienced before. They helped me through the darkest period of my life and I fell in love with audiobooks. Once I regained my vision, I decided to pursue a career as an audiobook narrator instead of a writer. That's why I created Tall Tale TV, to support aspiring authors in the writing communities that I had grown to love before my ordeal. My goal was to help them promote their work by providing a promotional audio short story that showcases their writing skills to readers. They say the strongest form of advertising is word of mouth, so I offer a platform for readers to share these videos and help spread the word about these talented writers. Please consider sharing these stories with your friends and family to support these amazing authors.

Bunkere, klimakrise og flugt fra ansvar Bogen foregår 10-20 år ude i fremtiden, men ligner vores verden skræmmende meget. Bare værre. Tre tech-oligarker – tydelige parodier på Bezos, Zuckerberg og Musk – har monopol på logistik, sociale medier og teknologi. Og de har travlt med at bygge private bunkere i stedet for at løse klimakrisen. Her møder vi Lai Zhen, survivalist-influencer og tidligere flygtning fra Hong Kongs kollaps. Hendes filosofi er klar: Individualisme er for tåber. Små grupper, samarbejde og planlægning er vejen til overlevelse. Ikke bunkere fyldt med våben og mistillid. Om forfatteren: Naomi Alderman Naomi Alderman (f. 1974) er en britisk forfatter med rødder i London og en akademisk baggrund fra Oxford, hvor hun læste filosofi, politik og økonomi. Hendes debutroman Disobedience (2006) blev hurtigt anerkendt for sit modige blik på religion og seksualitet, men det var The Power (2016), der for alvor sendte hende ind på science fiction-radaren. The Power forestiller sig en verden, hvor piger pludselig udvikler evnen til at slå med elektriske stød – og samfundets magtbalancer tipper dramatisk. Romanen blev både en prisvinder (bl.a. Women's Prize for Fiction) og senere tv-serie (Amazon Prime). The Future (2023) viser tydeligt hendes dobbeltblik: Kyndig satiriker overfor Silicon Valleys vildskaber, men også romanforfatter med blik for både filosofi, samfund og fremtidens etiske spørgsmål. Naomi Alderman på Wikipedia Digital enclosure – Vores fælles data bliver stjålet af de få Man mærker Aldermans skarpe samfundsblik, når Badger – non-binært barn af en tech-CEO – forklarer konceptet “digital enclosure”. Det er en reference til de historiske enclosure-bevægelser i England, hvor overklassen lukkede fællesarealer og gjorde dem til privat ejendom. Tech-giganterne har gjort det samme med vores data, vores opmærksomhed, vores fællesskab. De har taget noget der tidligere tilhørte os alle – adressebøger, købshistorik, vores bevægelser, vores billeder – og gjort det til private data-chunks som de tjener formuer på. AUGR – AI’en der forudsiger dommedag Central i plottet er AUGR, en prædiktiv AI der skal fortælle de rige, præcis hvornår de skal flygte til deres bunkere. Ti dage før katastrofen rammer. For hvis de venter for længe, vil folk ikke lade dem flygte. Så timing er alt. Men AUGR dukker også mystisk op på Lai Zhens telefon og begynder at guide hende. Hvem styrer egentlig AUGR? Og hvad er planen? Bogen folder sig ud som et urværk – med flashbacks, posts fra et prepper-forum kaldet “Name The Day”, og kapitler der hopper mellem perspektiver.. Der er et afgørende twist, der kom som en total overraskelse, men som vi ikke skal spoile her. Enochites og ræven og kaninen Martha Einkorn bærer sin barndom med sig. Hun voksede op i en kult, hvor teknologien var forbudt, og hvor faderen Enoch insisterede på, at den moderne civilisation tog fejl, allerede da vi begyndte at dyrke jorden og gøre krav på territorium. Hans “Sermon of the Rabbit and the Fox” vender det klassiske ræv/kanin-motiv på hovedet. Her symboliserer kaninen ikke uskyldig sårbarhed – men netop de første, der bosatte sig, hegnede af, og indførte ideen om meningsløst ejerskab af land. Ræven er jæger-samleren, den, som lever i nuet og tilpasser sig landskabet uden at forsøge at eje det. For Enoch er tanken om at eje jord lige så absurd som at eje luft: Jorden tilhører dig kun, så længe du tager vare på den. Luften kun, så længe den er i dine lunger. Tech-oligarkerne i The Future er overvældet af kanin-mentalitet, der er gået til yderligheder: De indhegner og griber alt, og forsøger at sikre sig mod fremtidens farer gennem privatisering og massive forråd, frem for at stole på fællesskab og samarbejde. Når de rige ikke kan samarbejde Bogens centrale pointe er brutalt enkel: De ultrarige kan ikke redde verden, fordi de fundamentalt ikke tror på samarbejde. Selv når de tre tech-bosserne sidder på en ø sammen i livsfare, vælger de sabotage, mistillid og vold. Lai Zhen anbefaler samarbejde i små grupper. Enoch prædikede fællesskab med naturen. Men milliardærerne? De tror kun på sig selv og deres våben. Så selvom de har ressourcerne til at løse klimakrisen, bruger de dem på bunker-byggeri. Alderman sparer ikke på kritikken. Bogen er både thriller, satire og politisk essay. Den stiller spørgsmålet: Hvorfor skal nogen have lov til at være så rige? Hvad godt gør det? Vurderingen Jens: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (fem stjerner). Det er et utroligt stykke urværk. Perfekt crafted underholdning med masser af yndlingsting – den kunne laves til en vild serie. Og så synes jeg digital enclosure-pointen var super godt set. En bog til tiden. Anders: ⭐⭐⭐⭐(⭐) (fire-og-en-halv stjerner). Virkelig underholdt. Velskrevet, cool, tankevækkende. Men karaktererne var ikke helt så stærke – de føles alle lidt som Aldermans egen stemme. Hvis jeg kunne give 4,5 ville jeg. Men den gør alt det rigtige på det rigtige tidspunkt. Jens og Anders har SCIFI SNAKKET The Future. Shownotes til episoden om The Future Siden sidst Anders Er færdig med Pluribus – virkelig speciel serie med fantastisk stemning. Ray Seehorn er crazy dygtig. Har set Oppenheimer igen – fantastisk film, ikke meget sci-fi, men vi læste jo en bog om ham. Har læst Ship of Fools af Richard Paul Russo – om et generationsrumskib der finder et mystisk alien-rumskib. Virkelig stemningsfuld, med mindelser om Alien 3 og Stanislav Lem. Er i gang med Clade af James Bradley – klimadystopi med fokus på familiedrama gennem flere årtier. Tak til Jens for Calibre-plugin info – har nu fået konverteret alle sine Kindle og Kobo-bøger til epub. Jens Er færdig med sæson 1 af Pluribus på Apple TV – om Carol alene i en verden hvor alle andre er blevet til en hive mind. Meget tilfredsstillende slutning. Ser sæson 2 af Fallout på Amazon Prime – baseret på computerspillet som skaber en fantastisk verden som nærmest er en blanding af Hugh Howey’s Wool og Mad Max. Mega fed. Er begyndt at købe bøger på ebook.de i stedet for Kobo, da de ofte er meget billigere. Ripper DRM’en af og håndterer dem i Calibre.

Iceland punches well above its weight in the world of music, producing global icons like Björk, Sigur Rós, Of Monsters and Men, and Laufey, while at the same time nurturing a vibrant local scene. Icelandic Pop: Then, Today, Tomorrow, Next Week (Reaktion, 2025) by Dr. Arnar Eggert Thoroddsen explores how Iceland's unique social habits, institutions and everyday practices contribute to its thriving music culture.  Tracing the development of Icelandic popular music since the rock 'n' roll era, it examines key influences shaping the scene, from Reykjavík's musicians to national institutions like radio and concert venues. With engaging explanations of sociological factors, the book sheds light on why Iceland has become a powerhouse in music. An illuminating journey through Iceland's music history, this is a celebration of the artistry and cultural forces behind its global impact.

Submission guidelines can be found at http://www.TallTaleTV.com   ---- About Tall Tale TV ---- Hi there! My name is Chris Herron and I'm an audiobook narrator. In 2015, I suffered from poor Type 1 diabetes control which lead me to become legally blind for almost a year. The doctors didn't give me much hope, predicting an 80% chance that I would never see again. But I refused to give up and changed my lifestyle drastically. Through sheer willpower (and an amazing eye surgeon) I beat the odds and regained my vision. During that difficult time, I couldn't read or write, which was devastating as they had always been a source of comfort for me since childhood. However, my wife took me to the local library where she read out the titles of audiobooks to me. I selected some of my favorite books, such as the Disc World series, Name of the Wind, Harry Potter, and more, and the audiobooks brought these stories to life in a way I had never experienced before. They helped me through the darkest period of my life and I fell in love with audiobooks. Once I regained my vision, I decided to pursue a career as an audiobook narrator instead of a writer. That's why I created Tall Tale TV, to support aspiring authors in the writing communities that I had grown to love before my ordeal. My goal was to help them promote their work by providing a promotional audio short story that showcases their writing skills to readers. They say the strongest form of advertising is word of mouth, so I offer a platform for readers to share these videos and help spread the word about these talented writers. Please consider sharing these stories with your friends and family to support these amazing authors.

What happens when classic literature inspires classic albums? This week, Dude and Don explore two towering concept records that channel the words and worlds of famous authors, transforming poems and dystopias into some of rock's most ambitious music.Theme: Albums Inspired by Books From Poe to Orwell, musicians have long found fuel in the pages of novels and poems—turning tales of fear, fate, and rebellion into creative sonic journeys.1. The Alan Parsons Project – Tales of Mystery and Imagination (1976)Background: Debut album by producer Alan Parsons and songwriter Eric Woolfson, tales of Edgar Allan Poe reimagined in progressive rock. Features guest vocals from John Miles, Arthur Brown, and orchestral flourishes by Andrew Powell.Sound/Legacy: Cinematic, theatrical prog with standout studio effects (early use of vocoder on “The Raven”) and lush orchestration. A cult classic, it set a standard for literary concept albums—melding horror, drama, and symphonic grandeur.Key Tracks: “A Dream Within a Dream,” “The Raven,” “The Tell-Tale Heart,” “The Fall of the House of Usher.”2. David Bowie – Diamond Dogs (1974)Background: Eighth Bowie album, born from an abandoned adaptation of Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four, blends dystopian fiction with glam, proto-punk, and theatrical storytelling. Bowie takes the reins on guitar and production.Sound/Legacy: Razor-edged and restless, this LP combines dark glam anthems with fragmented narrative and new techniques like Burroughs' “cut-up” lyrics. “Rebel Rebel” provides glittery hooks, while Halloween Jack and Hunger City stalk its dystopian landscape. Influenced punk and goth scenes to come.Key Tracks: “Diamond Dogs,” “Sweet Thing/Candidate,” “Rebel Rebel,” “Chant of the Ever Circling Skeletal Family.”Diggin'The Hives – Forever Forever The Hives (2025)Duran Duran – Seven and the Ragged Tiger (1983)Of Monsters and Men – All Is Love and Pain in the Mouse Parade (2025)Kathleen Edwards – Billionaire (2025)Join Us What book would make a wild concept album?

Of Monsters and Mushrooms, Ch. 5 (book 1 NEW) ep.777 Tornado Ravaged Trailer Park NOTE: This is a rewrite of book 1. Originally, 'Of Monsters and Mushrooms' was supposed to be a multi-part short story that transformed halfway through into a novel. This left the plot (and the voice acting, to be honest) lacking. We decided to go back and completely rewrite book one to fix any plot holes and bring the quality in line with the rest of the series.

Submission guidelines can be found at http://www.TallTaleTV.com   ---- About Tall Tale TV ---- Hi there! My name is Chris Herron and I'm an audiobook narrator. In 2015, I suffered from poor Type 1 diabetes control which lead me to become legally blind for almost a year. The doctors didn't give me much hope, predicting an 80% chance that I would never see again. But I refused to give up and changed my lifestyle drastically. Through sheer willpower (and an amazing eye surgeon) I beat the odds and regained my vision. During that difficult time, I couldn't read or write, which was devastating as they had always been a source of comfort for me since childhood. However, my wife took me to the local library where she read out the titles of audiobooks to me. I selected some of my favorite books, such as the Disc World series, Name of the Wind, Harry Potter, and more, and the audiobooks brought these stories to life in a way I had never experienced before. They helped me through the darkest period of my life and I fell in love with audiobooks. Once I regained my vision, I decided to pursue a career as an audiobook narrator instead of a writer. That's why I created Tall Tale TV, to support aspiring authors in the writing communities that I had grown to love before my ordeal. My goal was to help them promote their work by providing a promotional audio short story that showcases their writing skills to readers. They say the strongest form of advertising is word of mouth, so I offer a platform for readers to share these videos and help spread the word about these talented writers.
