Welcome to Whiskey and the Weird, a brand-new podcast exploring the British Library Tales of the Weird Series! This season, we're exploring the first book in the series ‘From the Depths and Other Strange Tales of the Sea.’ Today's featured tale: 'The Black Bell Buoy' by Rupert Chesterton.
Bar Talk (our recommendations):
Jessica is watching Eyes Without A Face (1960, dir. Georges Franju); drinking Atomic Pumpkin by New Belgium.
Damien is reading 'Based On A True Story' written and narrated by Norm MacDonald; drinking Bulleit bourbon with Woodford Reserve barrel aged orange bitters.
Ryan is reading 'A Night in Lonesome October' by Roger Zelazny; drinking Evan Williams Small Batch bourbon.
If you liked this week’s story, check out The Canal, the 2014 Irish film directed by Ivan Kavanagh (free on Tubi). Damien insists you also watch What Lies Beneath (2000, dir. Robert Zemeckis) just because.
Up next: ‘No Ships Pass’ by Lady Eleanor Smith
