Awkward speculation on the clergy with a priest, a whole lot of Stephen King short story stanning, and arguably the best Easter egg outtake we've ever snipped. Plus, it's an Algernon Blackwood! 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: 'An Egyptian Hornet' by Algernon Blackwood.
Bar Talk (our recommendations):
Jessica is watching From (2022 TV series, Epix); drinking Bull Run Straight Bourbon Whiskey.
Damien is watching Severance (2022 TV series, AppleTV+); drinking a Bee Sting: Scotch, Barenjager, Fernet Branca, tangerine juice, egg white, bitters.
Ryan is watching Fresh (2022, dir. Mimi Cave); drinking Laphroaig Triple Wood.
