The recommendations go far beyond Bar Talk, the gang concurs – relics are super rad, and doinkin' cousins? Only one podcast is brave enough to tackle all three! It's us, we're the podcast. Welcome to Whiskey and the Weird, a podcast exploring the British Library Tales of the Weird series! This season, we're bowing in reverence to our eighth book in the collection, ‘Holy Ghosts: Classic Tales of the Ecclesiastical Uncanny’ edited by Fiona Snailham. In this episode, our featured story is: The Duchess at Prayer by Edith Wharton.
Bar Talk (our recommendations):
Jessica is reading The Dark Tower VI: Song of Susannah by Stephen King; drinking Free Spirits 'The Spirit of Bourbon'.
Damien is reading Rejection: Fiction by Tony Tulathimutte; drinking a Boulevardier (Larceny bourbon, Campari, sweet vermouth).
Ryan is reading Long Division: Stories of Social Decay, Societal Collapse and Bad Manners, edited by Doug Murano and Michael Bailey; drinking a Glenlivet 14.
If you liked this week’s story, read the interconnected short stories of the Dandridge Cycle by Caitlin R Kiernan.
Up next: "The Face of the Monk" by Robert Hichens
