WEIRD TALES SHOW
|

It's the Christmas season – so here's a short ghost story – about Eddie the Ghost, the US airman who didn't go home after World War Two.
In this Weird Tales Show video interview we talk to Chicago-based author Damian Serbu about his love of gay vampires, whether Santa is a vampire and the darker side of Christmas traditions, plus the trend for gay/queer horror fiction to cross-over into the mainstream books market.
You can find Damian at https://www.damianserbu.com & https://twitter.com/DamianSerbu In my latest Weird Tales Show video on YouTube we look at the history and legends surrounding some of the Waveney Valley's Mysterious Stones – just glacial erratics... the site of historic events... the scene of blood-thirsty Druid rituals... or mounting blocks for fat old farmers to get back on their horses?
PS love this comment just posted on YouTube "The only way to keep folklore alive is to share it. Thank you for this." It's Weird Witchy Wednesday and I have another short YouTube video for you – this time about two witches who live in a church in the Suffolk village of Thrandeston. You'll also encounter 17th century witchcraft trials, the author M.R. James, and the prosecution witness who subsequently lost his skull!
Friday Night is Fright Night - in my latest Weird Tales Show video I'm discussing shapeshifters, werewolves, skin-walkers and other weirdness with award winning author John Kachuba.
