About The Obscure Library

Hello, my name is Victoria Fattore and I am the creator of the Youtube channel and podcast The Obscure Library.

The Obscure Library was created as a way of sharing my love for weird old literary works with those of similar interests. I have always loved reading fantastical stories, especially if they were written before the 20th century, and in looking for more material, I have come across delightful stories which have never been translated into English. Since I am a professional translator, I decided to take matters into my own hand and start translating and sharing those works with a wider public. Thus The Obscure Library was born.

Here you can find videos with readings of those new translations, the audio of these videos in podcast form, and the text of the translations.

I hope that you enjoy my selection of obscure tales!
