For those who plan to spend their #newyear snuggled away on the couch with a nice cup of black tea, I might have something to listen to: Old Gods of Apalachia — set in the Apalachian Mountains roughly in the 1920th. The very well produced #Podcast offers awesome narrated horror anthologies-stories in the tradition of H.P. #Lovecraft. #Apalachia, #bootleggers, #coalminers, #railroads, #prohibition and the Great Depression mixed with fine horror elements 👻👍☠️ https://www.oldgodsofappalachia.com

During Prohibition, the U.S. dabbled in poison. Frustrated by bootleggers stealing 60 million gallons of industrial alcohol annually- law enforcement ordered that industrial alcohols be poisoned with things like ether & quinine.
By the end of Prohibition , the federal poisoning program killed an estimated 10,000 people. Officially- their causes of death were listed as “alcohol poisoning”.
