In our first case with The Case in the title, we question the validity of demon death cults, the existence of pudding at the possibly Mandela-effected Wendy's buffet, and the use of Squirt in a cocktail. Plus, Ryan's reeeeeally into westerns now. 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 Case of the Fortunate Youth by Moray Dalton.
Bar Talk (our recommendations):
Jessica is reading Hawk Mountain by Conner Habib; drinking Beacon Small Batch Bourbon.
Damien is reading Maeve Fly by CJ Leede; drinking a terrible spicy paloma (Ancho Reyes, Xicaru mezcal, lime juice and Squirt).
Ryan is reading Butcher's Crossing by John Williams; drinking Yellowstone Whiskey.
If you liked this week’s story, watch The Possession (2012; dir. Ole Bornedal).
Up next: A Psychical Invasion by Algernon Blackwood.
Special thank you to Dr Blake Brandes for our Whiskey and the Weird music!
