And @frryanwhitley.bsky.social, known nerd, is reading Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir, but at least he's also drinking the Lagavulin 16yr.

@damesies.bsky.social is reading Vampires in the Lemon Grove by everyone's fave Karen Russell and drinking a celebratory Hibiki Japanese Harmony.

Why don't we do a little Bar Talk for Episode 1 of the new season?

@thejessicaberg.bsky.social is reading the best book she's read in a long time (The Other Valley by Scott Alexander Howard) and washing it down with a Labatt's NA. Yum.

Don't have enough Ominous, Lurking statues in your life? Well, if you liked Man-Size in Marble and somehow missed it, check out Oddity (2024; dir. Damian McCarthy)!

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: Man-Size in Marble by Edith Nesbit! 🥃🪦

Extended leave: terminated! Jess, Ryan and Damien return with an explanation of the AWOL (it's lovely, trust us), a beloved classic by Edith Nesbit, and Jess' most wretchedly despised literary couple to date. Plus, Ryan tries to take out his congregation by organ.

After a delay that...will make some sense after listening to Episode 1, we're back with an all new, all weird season! We're kicking off TOMORROW with Man-Size in Marble by Edith Nesbit! You can find it in almost every book ever published AND Holy Ghosts: Classic Tales of the Ecclesiastical Uncanny!

Holy Ghosts! You've got a week to read our first story: Man-Size in Marble by Edith Nesbit AND to learn the approximately 10,000 ecclesiastical vocab words that Ryan gets to show off this season.

We're Baaaaaaack! (Next) Sunday Sunday Sunday, we're kicking off a new season with a new collection. Get ready for Holy Ghosts: Classic Tales of the Ecclesiastical Uncanny, edited by Fiona Snailham! 🥃
