Ryan and Damien compare Satanic Panic films, Jess rewrites the story's ending for the better, and does Carnacki inspire Marvel post-credit scenes? Probs. Welcome to Whiskey and the Weird, a podcast exploring the British Library Tales of the Weird series! This season, we're dissecting our fifth book in the collection, ‘The Ghost Slayers: Thrilling Tales of Occult Detection.’ In this episode, our featured story is: The Searcher of the End House by William Hope Hodgson.
Bar Talk (our recommendations):
Jessica is reading Monsters: A Fan's Dilemma by Claire Dederer; drinking Noble Oak Double Oak.
Damien is watching The House of the Devil (2009, dir. Ti West); drinking a Last Word (gin, green chartreuse, lime, luxardo).
Ryan is watching Satan's Slaves (2017; dir. Joko Anwar); drinking Blair Athol 12 yr scotch whisky.
If you liked this week’s story, watch Lake Mungo (2008; dir. Joel Anderson).
Up next: Halloween bonus story! Read "The Ghost of a Flea" by Priya Sharma found in Screams from the Dark: 29 Tales of Monsters and the Monstrous, edited by Ellen Datlow. Then... Season 6!
