What this episode covers
We fall in love with a different Gordon Hillman (because this author is a literal murderer), discuss a collection that checks almost every literary taboo box, and get "mediumly confused" by arguably the zaniest opening to the Michael Bay-est short story ever. And melons. Lots of melon talk. 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: Forgotten Harbour by Gordon Hillman.
