Ryan's pretty hellbent on having a zombie in the original Thanksgiving story. When does treasure hunting become pillaging? Also, an underwater haunted house flick. Welcome to Whiskey and the Weird, a podcast exploring the British Library Tales of the Weird Series! This season, we're exploring our second book in the series ‘Crawling Horror: Creeping Tales of the Insect Weird.’ In this episode, our featured tale is: 'After Three Thousand Years' by Jane G. Austin.
Bar Talk (our recommendations):
Jessica is reading Echo by Thomas Olde Heuvelt; drinking Power's Gold Label Irish Whiskey.
Damien is watching The Deep House (2021, dir. Alexandre Bustillo & Julien Maury); drinking Redemption High Rye Bourbon.
Ryan is reading – and crying over – The Sparrow by Mary Doria Russellr; drinking a Manhattan (Old Forrester 100 Rye, "Tender is the Night" Vermouth, Fee Bros. Bitters, twist of lemon).
If you liked this week’s story, check out Blood from the Mummy's Tomb (1971, dir. Seth Holt & Michael Carreras).
Up next: ‘Leiningen Versus the Ants' by Carl Stephenson.
Special thank you to Dr Blake Brandes for our Whiskey and the Weird music!
