Tim Burton gets a shout, and a mutant flea gets shot. Plus, what makes weird weird? Welcome to Whiskey and the Weird, a podcast exploring the British Library Tales of the Weird Series! This season, we're exploring our second book in the series ‘Crawling Horror: Creeping Tales of the Insect Weird.’ In this episode, our featured tale is: 'The Wicked Flea' by J.U. Giesy.
Bar Talk (our recommendations):
Jessica is reading Build Your House Around My Body by Violet Kupersmith; still drinking Natterjack.
Damien is watching Saint Maud (2019, dir. Rose Glass); drinking Chicken Cock straight bourbon.
Ryan is watching The Blood on Satan's Claw (1971, dir. Piers Haggard); drinking Tomintoul 16.
If you liked this week’s story, check out The Host (2006, dir. Bong Joon-ho).
Up next: ‘Caterpillars' by E.F. Benson.
