Jess crushes spiked eggnog, Damien reads original poetry, and the whole gang dissects the spirit behind the Spirit of Christmas. Plus, a whole new old story! Ring in the Yule with Ryan, Jessica and Damien as we recap a haunting tale from Chill Tidings: Dark Tales of the Christmas Season – a separate collection in the British Library Tales of the Weird series. Next week, we'll return to our regularly scheduled programming with our season one finale: 'The Floating Forest' by Herman Scheffauer.
Bar Talk (our recommendations):
Jessica is watching The Lodge (2019, dir. Veronika Franz and Severin Fiala); drinking spiked eggnog with Cardinal Spirits Straight Rye Whiskey.
Damien is watching Jack Frost (1997, dir. Michael Cooney); drinking Schnoggin Noggins: Kahlua, vodka, eggnog, milk, cola.
Ryan is reading the Valancourt Book of Victorian Christmas Ghost Stories: Volume One, edited by Tara Moore; drinking some random Christmas cocktail with Evan Williams Small Batch, cranberry, ginger ale, orange juice, and sweet vermouth.
