In this week’s Weird Tales Radio Show we find that poisons, tattoos and tarot are a few of our favourite things. Our guest is illustrator Fez Inkwright who has provided work for a wide range of publishing houses and TTRPG game companies. She is the author and illustrator of a number of books and tarot/divination decks. Her books include Folk Magic & Healing and Botanical Curses & Poisons, which was published earlier this year. And did we mention she also does tattoo design?
Links: Just the thing for a wet weekend in October (if you are in my part of England) my latest Weird Tales video - this time on the ghosts and legends of Blythburgh, featuring Black Shuck, puritan angel hunts, 18th century smugglers, and the haunting of Toby's Walks by a black drummer boy who was unjustly convicted and hanged for murder, then left to rot in chains.
In this week’s Weird Tales Radio Show our guest is is American author Kevin Lucia talking about horror novels and movies, as well as his own new Halloween-themed collection ‘October Nights’. We also look at some Michaelmas folklore and superstitions – and much, much more.

It's Thursday - it's Weird Tales Radio Show time... In this week’s show our guest is is Peter Muise who, has been exploring New England legends, folklore and weird traditions for 20 years. He’s writer and blogger and his most recent book, out this month, is Witches and Warlocks of Massachusetts. Not surprisingly, we’re talking about the folklore and legends of New England, including who or what are the Melonheads?

Here to inform and entertain you with books, podcasts, videos and blog posts of weird tales for weird times. "Fun and high strangeness" is how one reader describes it.
