Jess finds vacuums perplexing, Ryan drinks something blue, and eyelids get peeled back (interpret as you will). Plus, we decode the unwritten rule of Russian governess firearm provisions. Welcome to Whiskey and the Weird, a podcast exploring the British Library Tales of the Weird series! This season, we're dissecting our third book in the series ‘Promethean Horrors: Classic Tales of Mad Science.’ In this episode, our featured story is: 'The Blue Laboratory' by L.T. Meade.
Bar Talk (our recommendations):
Jessica is watching Men (2022, dir. Alex Garland); drinking Beak & Skiff 1911 Bourbon.
Damien is reading The Library at Mount Char by Scott Hawkins; drinking a Monte Carlo (rye whiskey, Benedictine, bitters).
Ryan is watching Impetigore (2019, dir. Joko Anwar); drinking a Cthulu Takes Manhattan. It's got blue cream soda in it. Don't ask.
