Could there beeee a more metal title?! \m/ We pick apart this creature feature and determine who the REAL monsters are (people, always people); Jess attempts a seven-syllable word while tipsy, Ryan dotes over orators, and Damien weathers. 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: ‘Heavy Weather: Tempestuous Tales of Stranger Climes.’ In this episode, our featured story is Monsoons of Death by Gerald Vance.
Bar Talk (our recommendations):
Jessica is reading Tell Me I'm Worthless by Alison Rumfitt; drinking a maple cardamom Old Fashioned with Bull Run bourbon.
Damien is reading A Heart That Works by Rob Delaney; drinking Quarter Horse rye whiskey.
Ryan is watching Who Invited Them? (2022; dir. Duncan Birmingham); drinking the Bowmore 12 yr. Scotch.
If you liked this week’s story, watch Pitch Black (2000; dir. David Twohy)/read the novelization by Frank Lauria, or read The Luminous Dead by Caitlin Starling.
Up next: The Horror-Horn by E.F. Benson.
