Mist is weather (to 2 of 3 hosts), comparisons to the HPL- and Gaimaniverses abound, and MAN BABIES!!! Yeah, we're scared, too. 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 May Day Eve by Algernon Blackwood.
Bar Talk (our recommendations):
Jessica is reading Saltblood by T.C. Parker; drinking "Yellowstone Select" Kentucky Bourbon by Limestone Branch Distillery.
Damien is watching The West Wing (TV series); drinking the Arrrrdbeg 10.
Ryan is watching Junji Ito Maniac: Japanese Tales of the Macabre (Netflix); drinking a whiskey sour with Knob Creek Bourbon.
If you liked this week’s story, watch In The Earth (2021; dir. Ben Wheatley).
Up next: Through the Vortex of a Cyclone by William Hope Hodgson.
Special thank you to Dr Blake Brandes for our Whiskey and the Weird music!
