S9E9: The Rose Wall by Joyce Carol Oates

Holy living author, Batman! This week, the gang chats what else is a rose, the fine line between empowerment and obsession, horror that refuses to explain itself, and why the best beer names are meal-themed. Plus, adaptation what-ifs, the depth of fences, and fresh evidence that the creepiest things are usually hiding in plain sight! Welcome to Whiskey and the Weird, a podcast exploring the British Library Tales of the Weird series! This season, we're pondering what could have been with our ninth book in the vast collection, Roads of Destiny: And Other Tales of Alternative Histories and Parallel Realms, edited by Alasdair Richmond. In this episode, our featured story is: The Rose Wall by Joyce Carol Oates.
