Discover why cursed bugs are elasticy, how the concept of death has changed through the millenia, and how much Ryan likes colons. Also, resurrection is as easy as mixing two household chemicals. 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: 'The Mummy's Soul' by Anonymous.
Bar Talk (our recommendations):
Jessica is watching The Feast (2021, dir. Lee Haven Jones); drinking Savage & Cooke Burning Chair bourbon.
Damien is watching My Heart Can't Beat Unless You Tell It To (2021, dir. Jonathan Cuartas); drinking sorrel (aka bissap) with Sebago Lake rum and Topo Chico.
Ryan is reading 'The Phantom Coach' by Amelia B. Edwards; drinking Bunnahabhain 12 year old.
If you liked this week’s story, check out the graphic novel Moon Knight #1 (2016, Lemire / Smallwood / Thomas) and Imprisoned With The Pharaohs by Harry Houdini and H.P. Lovecraft (seriously).
Up next: ‘The Blue Beetle: A Confession' by A.G. Gray Jun.
