The Occult Detective’s Last Writes with… Charming Disaster

TODAY’S DEPARTING:

Who better to initiate the resurrection of Last Writes than my favorite minstrels of the macabre, the morbidly delicious Charming Disaster.

I discovered Ellia Bisker and Jeff Morris quite by accident, stumbling upon their song Ragnarok on youtube a few years back. Since then, I have become obsessed with their amazing performance art, murder ballads, and songs of the occult, mythology, and the paranormal.

I was a backer on their 2019 kickstarter, Spells + Rituals, and highlighted their music at the Converse Historical Society’s annual Haunted History event last year.

Based in Brooklyn, Ellia and Jeff’s music is haunting, wickedly charming, and devilishly playful. They harmonize beautifully together, and I just simply adore everything they do, so, without further adieu, I present Charming Disaster’s Last Writes.

LAST MEAL

Just a cocktail to take the edge off, thanks. Preferably bottomless brunch menu Bloody Marys.

LAST BOOK

The final book in whatever series we’re reading. Hopefully Patrick Rothfuss will have finished the Kingkiller Chronicles by then, but if not, we’ll wait.

LAST MOVIE

We want the traditional “whole life flashing before your eyes,” but in slow motion, so it takes a really long time.

LAST SONG

One of the ones we haven’t written yet. Whatever we’re working on at the time (but not until we finish it).

FIRST PERSON YOU’D LIKE TO MEET ON THE OTHER SIDE

We assume we’ll go down together in a blaze of glory, so each other, obviously.
