Tartar sauce, scooters vs pew-ters, arboreal poetry, and OLDIE-TIMEY PAGAN THINGS! The gang closes out season 8 with style and grace (and a trollop), that is, if they can survive the intro. Welcome to Whiskey and the Weird, a podcast exploring the British Library Tales of the Weird series! This season, we're bowing in reverence to our eighth book in the collection, ‘Holy Ghosts: Classic Tales of the Ecclesiastical Uncanny’ edited by Fiona Snailham. In this episode, our featured story is: The Stalls of the Barchester Cathedral by M. R. James
Bar Talk (our recommendations):
Jessica is bingeing all 14 seasons of King of the Hill; drinking Burnside Bourbon.
Damien is reading Wake Up and Open Your Eyes by Clay McLeod Chapman; drinking a legit painkiller with Pussers Rum (orange, pineapple, cream of coconut, nutmeg).
Ryan is reading Ghostland by Edward Parnell; drinking a Lagavulin 16.
If you liked this week’s story, read Gothic by Philip Fracassi.
Up next: Damn the fates, it's Season 9! And a merry little bonus episode interlude...
Special thank you to Dr Blake Brandes for our Whiskey and the Weird music!
