Bonus! Halloween calls for fond childhood memories of trick or treating/vomiting fake blood, what's required to summon a spirit, and Jess and Damien coming to blows over this tale's validity as a ghost story. Welcome to Whiskey and the Weird, a podcast exploring the British Library Tales of the Weird series! In this bonus episode, we leave the Tales of the Weird for our featured story: All Souls' by Edith Wharton.
Bar Talk (our recommendations):
Jessica is watching The Blackcoat's Daughter (2015, dir. Oz Perkins); drinking warm apple cider with 1911 Established bourbon.
Damien is watching After Midnight (2019; dir. Jeremy Gardner, Christian Stella); drinking High West Campfire blended whiskey.
Ryan is reading Haunted Nights (editor: Ellen Datlow); drinking an Autumnal Manhattan (Basil Hayden's Bourbon, maple syrup, sweet vermouth, black walnut bitters, nutmeg, amarena cherry).
