With tragedy and horrors almost too bold to bear, this beautifully told tale is our hosts' highest rated of the season. TW: suicide, death of an infant are discussed in depth. 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.’ In this episode, our season one finale, our featured tale is: 'Floating Forest' by Herman Scheffauer.

Damien is reading Under The Whispering Door by TJ Klune; drinking a Woodford Reserve hot toddy.
