Lisa, this episode is tearing us apart! The gang is highly divided about getting Mesmer-ized, but one thing's for sure: it's giving serious Indiana Jones. Plus, we chat content warnings, cinematic decapitations, and what we'd do with found treasure that's most definitely cursed. 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 Valley of the Veils of Death by Bertram Atkey.
Bar Talk (our recommendations):
Jessica is reading The Vile Thing We Created by Robert P Ottone; drinking Bull Run Bourbon.
Damien is reading The Relic (Pendergrast #1) by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child; drinking a Tom Collins (Drumshanbo Gunpowder Irish Gin, lemon, sugar, soda).
Ryan is reading The Dark Descent anthology edited by David Harwell; drinking Bowmore 12.
If you liked this week’s story, watch The Pyramid (2014; dir. Grégory Levasseur).
Up next: The Case of the Fortunate Youth by Moray Dalton.
Special thank you to Dr Blake Brandes for our Whiskey and the Weird music!
