This week, we cover an author who believes in Atlantis and astral jellyfish, discuss whether or not advertising is a form of psychic invasion, and go deep on character names. The post-credit easter egg in this one is *chef's kiss* 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 Death Hound by Dion Fortune.

Jessica is reading The Border of Paradise by Esmé Weijun Wang; drinking FEW Whiskey & TJ's Ginger Beer.
Damien is reading Nineteen Claws and a Black Bird by Agustina Bazterrica; drinking a Salty Dog (gin, grapefruit, salt).
