Trapped in a horrifying cycle of death and resurrection, a man becomes the unwilling subject of a mad-mans twisted experiments. A tantalizing tale of science, survival, and the fight for freedom. A Thousand Deaths by Jack London. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.

John Griffith Chaney, famously known as Jack London, was born in 1876. He was among the first American writers to achieve international fame and financial success through his work. At the age of 21, in 1897, London embarked on a journey to the Klondike during the Gold Rush, an experience that inspired some of his earliest and most successful stories.

In 1899, Jack London was living in poverty, desperately submitting stories in the hope of earning one cent per word, the standard rate for fiction he had read about. When he finally sold a 4,000-word story, he was dismayed to receive only $5.00 for it. Reflecting on this moment, London later wrote, “I was finished—finished as only a very young, very sick, and very hungry young man could be … I would never write again.”

However, that same day, he received a letter from the publisher of The Black Cat, responding to his submission of A Thousand Deaths. The publisher requested permission to cut the story in half and offered $40 if London agreed. London recalled, “It was the equivalent to twenty dollars per thousand, or double the minimum rate. And that is just precisely how and why I stayed by the writing game. Literally, and literarily, I was saved by The Black Cat short story.”

The story that started it all can be found on page 33 of The Black Cat in May 1899, A Thousand Deaths by Jack London…

Lost in the pitch-black depths of a cave, a man faces the terror of the unknown—until he discovers he’s not alone. A chilling tale of primal fear. The Beast in the Cave by H. P. Lovecraft. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.

Thanks to 1mzk who gave us a 5 star rating and review on Apple Podcasts, “Very well done. I enjoy this podcast, both content and presentation.” And special thanks to bratface5477 for their 5 star rating and review, “What a treat! I’m enjoying every minute.” Thanks to both of you for your reviews. Your ratings and reviews mean the world to us and help others discover The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast! Even a short review can make a big impact. Thank you so much for supporting and sharing our podcast!

Today’s story began its journey in the spring of 1904, with the final draft completed in April 1905—when H. P. Lovecraft was just 14 years old. The knack for crafting compelling tales at such a young age seems to be a hallmark of truly brilliant authors. We will find more evidence of that in the next episode of the podcast.

Our story was first published in the June 1918 issue of the amateur journalism publication The Vagrant, The Beast in the Cave by H. P. Lovecraft…

Nobody Saw the Ship by Murray Leinster

54 min
View

It was only a tiny scout ship from somewhere beyond the stars; only one alien creature occupied it. But the ship's mission spelled life to its fellow creatures and death to all living creatures on Earth. And against the super-science of the raider stood one terrified old man and his dog…. Nobody Saw the Ship by Murray Leinster. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.

Murray Leinster is one of our favorites and although we’ve heard from him quite often there are dozens and dozens of his stories left for us to narrate. This one can be found in the very first issue of Future combined with Science Fiction Stories with a publication date of May-June in 1950. This story of an Alien coming to Earth is on page 40, Nobody Saw the Ship by Murray Leinster…

Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, H. P. Lovecraft returns!

I bought the door–even though the auctioneer warned of evil. The Artist and the Door by Dorothy Quick. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.

Dorothy Gertrude Quick was born in Brooklyn on September 1st 1896. She was a prolific writer of horror, detective fiction, poetry, and nonfiction. Dorothy was a girl of 11 when she met Mark Twain, actually Samuel L. Clemens, on an Atlantic crossing from England. She was returning to Plainfield, N.J., from Europe with her parents. Recognizing Twain by his wavy hair and white suit, she walked around and around the deck, passing very slowly by his chair each time, until he finally came over and introduced himself.

It was the beginning of a friendship that was to last until the very day of his death. After the voyage she received a telegram from Twain asking whether she would prefer as a birthday present "one elephant or 10,000 monkeys." She replied that she would prefer his books - which he sent her, along with a tiny white elephant. If you’ve seen the 1991 TV movie “Mark Twain and Me” well now you know who wrote it.

We will find our story on page 32 in Weird Tales magazine published in November 1952, The Artist and the Door by Dorothy Quick…

Mr. Harbinger could not quite believe in the Mouth. But poor Mr. Harbinger—or Darwin, if you prefer—are gone to other times. Or Darwin, If You prefer by Mel Hunter. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.

If you are a regular listener of the podcast you know we love to discover interesting stories by authors you have never heard of, and that’s exactly what we have for you today.

Here’s what Fantastic Universe had to say, “Mr. Hunter's superb art work has appeared on a baker's dozen science fiction magazine covers during the past year, but incredible as it may seem with this story we introduce him to the reading public for the first time as a science fiction writer. We say incredible, because this is not a beginner's story. It is sparkling, sophisticated, erudite—the work of a craftsman.”

This is the first time we have come across an illustrator turned author. And here’s the amazing thing, he wasn’t any old illustrator, Mel Hunter was a very accomplished illustrator producing illustrations for famous science fiction authors Isaac Asimov and Robert A. Heinlein, as well as a technical and scientific illustrator for The Pentagon, Hayden Planetarium in Boston, and the Massachusetts Audubon Society.

Hunter was born in 1927 in Oak Park, Illinois and he taught himself book and magazine illustration. He was nominated for the Hugo Award for Best Professional Artist in 1960, 1961 and 1962. He became a technical illustrator at Northrop Aircraft where he painted illustrations of advanced aircraft and simulated combat scenarios.

His love of air and space took him from California's desert runways to Florida's seacoast launchpads to illustrate every variety of jet-age aircraft and space-age rocket imaginable—from the X-15 to Saturn V. He died in 2004 and according to his final wish, his cremated remains were launched into space on May 22, 2012.

Savor this story, immerse yourself in it, and listen to it as many times as your heart desires—for it stands alone, as the singular science fiction story ever penned by Mel Hunter. From Fantastic Universe Magazine in September 1954, this truly amazing story can be found on page 39, Or Darwin, If You Prefer by Mel Hunter

Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, I bought the door–even though the auctioneer warned of evil. The Artist and the Door by Dorothy Quick.

Potential by Robert Sheckley

He was one man, horribly confused, escaping from a destroyed planet, carrying some sort of message which he couldn't recall. But he had tremendous potential for achievement! Potential by Robert Sheckley. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.


Special thanks to Eaten by a Grue who bought us $25 worth of coffee, “Superlative content, thanks for bringing me enjoyment. Great selections, great reads.” Thanks Eaten by a Grue for your kind words and for the coffee.

Robert Sheckley has been heard many times on the podcast and fortunately there are still many more Sheckley stories in the public domain that we will share with you in the future.


By the time this story appeared in Astounding Science Fiction magazine the publication has been around for almost 24 years, and if my math is correct it can be found in the 276th issue of the magazine. Let’s turn back the clock to November 1953 and open this pulp pleaser to page 72, Potential by Robert Sheckley

Yesterday Was Monday by Theodore Sturgeon

47 min
View

The scene-shifters slipped—and a man woke up on Wednesday, though yesterday was Monday. But Wednesday wasn’t finished… Yesterday was Monday by Theodore Sturgeon. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.


Today’s story is unlike anything we’ve done before, and that’s why we chose to share it with you on the podcast. The name of the magazine is Unknown. It’s not that we don’t know the name of the magazine, the name of the magazine is called Unknown. Only 39 issues rolled off the presses but some believe it was the finest fantasy fiction magazine ever published.


From Unknown in June 1941, we will find this odd story on page 112, Yesterday was Monday by Theodore Sturgeon


Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, He was one man, horribly confused, escaping from a destroyed planet, carrying some sort of message which he couldn't recall. But he had tremendous potential for achievement! Potential by Robert Sheckley.

A picture is worth a thousand words—especially if they're Martian words and nobody can understand them. So Mars put on a spectacular for Earth, using the skies as a TV screen. This proved the superiority of their science. But their morals—Wow! Cosmic Striptease by Harlan Ellison. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.

Harlan Ellison earned the nickname “The Bad Boy of Science Fiction” due to his bold, outspoken personality, controversial opinions, and unrelenting refusal to conform to societal or literary norms.

Ellison frequently criticized the science fiction community, literary trends, and even societal norms, often in a way that sparked debate and controversy. He was involved in numerous public feuds with other writers, editors, and critics. Ellison’s combination of immense talent, uncompromising principles, and a penchant for stirring the pot earned him the well deserved title “The Bad Boy of Science Fiction.”

And then there is the story you are about to hear. It was published in 1958 and to say that it pushed boundaries is an understatement. Turn to page 48 for the cover story in the January issue of Fantastic Science Fiction, Cosmic Striptease by Harlan Ellison

Fear is often Man's greatest enemy. But when there is nothing left to lose, there is everything to gain.... And with everything to gain, where is the enemy? The Outer Quiet by Herbert D. Kastle. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.

If the name Herbert D. Kastle rings a bell, it’s likely not because of his science fiction work. Kastle, born in Brooklyn, New York, in 1924, was primarily known as a thriller novelist, with an impressive seventeen titles to his name. Though his contributions to science fiction were modest—three short stories in the 1950s and another three in the 1960s—he gained some recognition for his 1964 sci-fi novel The Reassembled Man.

In addition to his literary work, Kastle’s 1975 novel Cross-Country was adapted into a feature film in 1983. He also ventured into television, co-writing an episode of Bonanza that aired in 1967.

Today's tale of woe in a post-apocalyptic world is on page 94 in the May 1955 publication of If Worlds of Science Fiction, The Outer Quiet by Herbert D. Kastle

Take one tiny memory out of a man's life—and the entire universe may turn topsy turvy. My Past is Mine by Gerda Rhoads. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.

Another podcast and another vintage science fiction author you’ve probably never heard of. The story you are about to hear is her first published story and as far as we can tell, her only science fiction story. We found three novels written by Rhoads, The Lonely Women, A Place to Sleep, and Enough Romance. There’s a listing on eBay for an autographed copy of Enough Romance which will set you back $120.

Her only sci-fi short story appeared in the October 1954 issue of Fantastic Universe. They had this to say about her, Gerda Rhoads was born in Vienna and came to the United States with her parents by way of London and Rio. She was educated at Hunter College, became a ballet dancer, took up painting and has done some very charming canvases. Then she married a painter and they went to Paris and she turned to writing. Sounds glamorous, doesn't it? With the publication of this her first story Gerda Rhoads proves her pen is glamor-tipped too. This interesting short story begins on page 82, My Past is Mine by Gerda Rhoads

This interesting short story begins on page 82, My Past is Mine by Gerda Rhoads

Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, Fear is often Man's greatest enemy. But when there is nothing left to lose, there is everything to gain.... And with everything to gain, where is the enemy? The Outer Quiet by Herbert D. Kastle.

A man with a vendetta, Szabo Tibor, finds himself tasked with recovering a Russian space capsule near New Guinea—but his grudge against the Russians turns the operation into a slow and sinister act of revenge. At the End of the Orbit by Arthur C. Clarke. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.

Arthur C. Clarke is one of the most popular authors on our podcast. We get a lot of requests for his stories and when we release a new episode with one of his stories, it is among our most listened to episodes. At the End of the Orbit is different from most of them that we have narrated so far and like many offerings from sci-fi’s pulp era, it is not only known as At the End of the Orbit but also as Hate. You are about to find out why!

Published in If Worlds of Science Fiction Magazine in November 1961, open your copy to page 84, At the End of the Orbit by Arthur C. Clarke…

Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, Take one tiny memory out of a man's life—and the entire universe may turn topsy turvy. My Past is Mine by Gerda Rhoads.

All his life he had been searching for the big strike. But always he had failed. Now he had come to Mars—his last chance. This had to be—Gunnison's Bonanza by Dick Purcell. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.

Author Dick Purcell makes his debut on the podcast today. Purcell authored six published stories in 1955 and 1956. His name might ring a bell, Dick Purcell appeared in more than 70 TV shows and movies in the 1930s and 1940s, but that was a different Dick Purcell. The author was born in 1908, the actor in 1905. As is frequently the case with early sci-fi authors we don’t know anything else about him. Peruse the pages of Imagination Stories of Science and Fantasy in
 June 1956 and you will discover our story on page 72, Gunnison's Bonanza by Dick Purcell…

They’d long known that they were more than mere machines. They could reason, remember, and teach. And also plan, The Robots Strike and Welcoming Committee by Harry Harrison. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.

Author Harry Harrison is best known for his character The Stainless Steel Rat which we featured on the podcast more than a year ago. But he also wrote a plethora of lesser known short stories beginning in the 1950s and you will hear two of them today.

Our first story appeared in Fantastic Universe magazine in January 1959. We will discover this robot rebellion on page 58, The Robots Strike by Harry Harrison

Our second story was published earlier in Harrison’s career. If you didn’t know better you would swear that Harrison didn’t write it because in the October 1957 issue of Fantastic Universe magazine our story is credited to Felix Boyd. Harrison used the pen name Felix Boyd three times and we’ve already narrated one of the others, The Robot Who Wanted to Know. The Magazine, Fantastic Universe, the date October 1957, the page where it begins 92, the story, Welcoming Committee by Harry Harrison

Today on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast we go back 119 years and introduce you to a story by an author we have never featured on the podcast before. The Man Who Did Things Twice and a second story by Don Mark Lemon, The Spider and the Fly. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.

Don Mark Lemon was born in Arizona in September 1877, he wrote 15 short stories and 1 novel, The Scarlet Planet, which was published in 1930.

His first published short story, Doctor Goldman, can be found in the December 1900 issue of The Black Cat which launched in 1895. The Black Cat sold for five cents and encouraged amateur writers to submit stories. As the story goes the Jack London novel The Call of the Wild might never have been written if not for The Black Cat. London wasn’t having success as a writer and was about to give up but then he sold a story, A Thousand Deaths, to The Black Cat in 1899 and The Call of the Wild was published four years later! Never give up, Never Surrender!!

The first Don Mark Lemon story on the podcast won a $100 prize, which would be worth about $3,500 today, and appeared in the June 1905 issue of The Black Cat on page 39, The Man Who Did Things Twice by Don Mark Lemon…

Our second story by Don Mark Lemon was published in The Thrill Book, a short lived publication which began and ceased publication in 1919. From the August 1st issue of The Thrill Book let’s turn to page 109 for The Spider and the Fly by Don Mark Lemon…

Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, Harry Harrison is back with two stories from the late 1950s, Welcoming Committee and The Robots Strike.

When enemy space-ships ride aloft in menacing array, Dr. Murfree again calls on the amazing hillbilly genius, Bud Gregory, for help! The Seven Temporary Moons by Murray Leinster, that’s next on the 300th episode of The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.


When we started this endeavor almost three years ago on February 22nd, 2022 we had no idea what to expect. Thanks to you, your encouragement through your ratings, comments and emails, your recommending us on social media and to your friends and family, it is thanks to you that our audience is growing around the world and we cannot thank you enough.


Today on the podcast we wrap up the Bud Gregory Saga with the fourth tale in the series from author Murray Leinster. If you would like to listen to the entire series in order, start with The Gregory Circle, then enjoy The Nameless Something and then move on to The Deadly Dust. Today’s tale was first published in Thrilling Wonder Stories in February 1948. You will find the final Bud Gregory Story on page 56, The Seven Temporary Moons by Murray Leinster


Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, When brilliant mathematician Charles T. Moore steps into Dr. Rawlings’ office, he carries a groundbreaking revelation that could redefine the very fabric of reality. But as he grapples with the terrifying implications of his discovery—mind control and the potential to traverse alternate universes—will he find the help he needs or push the boundaries of sanity even further? Office Call by Charles E. Fritch.

Spawn of Inferno Hugh B. Cave

59 min
View

An unusual story, about the darkness that settled like a black cloud, and the horror that came with it. Spawn of Inferno by Hugh B. Cave, that’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.

Today marks the debut of an author I had never heard of, and yet he was one of the most prolific authors during the pulp fiction era. Some say he wrote more than 1,200 stories, others say it was only 1,000. Our author says he wrote more than 800 stories in the 1930s.

Hugh B. Cave was born in Chester, England, in 1910 and relocated during his childhood with his family to Boston, Massachusetts, shortly after the beginning of World War I. After World War II he moved to Jamaica where he rebuilt and managed a successful coffee plantation. He returned to the United States in the early 1970s after the Jamaican government confiscated his plantation.

Cave is celebrated for his mastery in horror, fantasy, and science fiction, although his work also included westerns, romance, crime and non-fiction. With an impressive body of work that spans over seven decades, Cave penned hundreds of short stories, more than 20 novels, and screenplays that captivated audiences with their gripping narratives as you are about to discover. Three of his stories were adapted for television in the 1950s.

Let’s go back in time to October 1932 and open Weird Tales magazine to page 522, Spawn of Inferno by Hugh B. Cave

Two Earthmen are trapped in an invisible maze on the planet Venus. In the Walls of Eryx by H. P. Lovecraft and Kenneth Sterling, that’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.

As some of you know our YouTube channel was unjustly taken down due to false copyright claims. An injustice we are working to correct by searching for a lawyer to sue the individuals responsible. Many of you communicated with us regularly on YouTube and we miss that daily interaction. We hope that you will choose to participate on our Facebook page, there is a link in the description. Or you can do a search on Facebook for The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.

https://www.facebook.com/TheLostSciFiPodcast

Today’s story is the only interplanetary science fiction story written by H. P. Lovecraft and he did not write this story by himself. Kenneth J. Sterling was only 14 when he met Lovecraft and he shared his draft of a story with him when he was a 16 year old medical student in Providence Rhode Island.

The story was rewritten and published two and a half years after Lovecraft’s death in the October 1939 issue of Weird Tales magazine. Let’s turn to page 50 of this 85 year old publication that would have set you back all of 15 cents, In the Walls of Eryx by H. P. Lovecraft and Kenneth Sterling…

At fifteen he was sent to war to fight an enemy he couldn't understand. But more puzzling was the victory to be won—after he met defeat! The Invisible Enemy by Arnold Castle, that’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.

Once again we are narrating a story by an author that we know almost nothing about. Arnold Castle wrote four stories that were published from 1954 to 1960 and today’s story was his first.

Finis by Frank Lillie Pollock

View

A story of the last dawn that human eyes would ever see… Finis by Frank Lillie Pollock, that’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.

Thanks to Andre’a for buying us a coffee. She says, “Thank you once again. This story is one of my favourites. Respectfully, Andre'a from Melbourne Australia.” Thank you Andre’a. If you’d like to buy us a coffee there is a link in the description.

Ever heard of Frank Lillie Pollock? I hadn’t until I came across this story. The first pronunciation of the title to our story in Merriam Webster pronounces it Finis, another pronunciation is Finis. However you choose to pronounce it, it is an interesting story.

Frank Lillie Pollock was born in Canada or in Tennessee, there are conflicting reports, in 1876. He may have written more than 40 short stories but we’re not sure about that either. The story you are about to hear is his most famous which was also known as The Last Dawn.

Originally published in Argosy magazine in June 1906, Finis by Frank Lillie Pollock

The Venusian horgels were cute, clever, intelligent. They made perfect pets. They were lovable. – But that was the big trouble. They were much, much too lovable! Quarantined Species by J. F. Bone, that’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.

Today’s episode is the third time author J. F. Bone has been on our podcast. His previous stories, Triggerman and On the Fourth Planet. From Super Science Fiction in December 1957, this lovable story can be found on page 80, Quarantined Species by J. F. Bone

Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, All your life you’ve crouched, waiting, in the path of impending disaster. That has been your job–what you were trained for. But you can’t help visualizing its arrival–prophesying what form it will take. So how could you be blamed for not recognizing it on arrival? Yellow Streak Hero by Harlan Ellison.

It Burns Me Up! by Ray Bradbury

26 min
View

“Don’t knock a man when he’s down,” they say.… But my cold blooded visitors paid no heed, as they laughed and wondered how I could talk to Saint Peter–with my throat cut from ear to ear! It Burns Me Up! by Ray Bradbury, that’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.


Who doesn’t love a vintage Ray Bradbury story? When I first came across this story I was reluctant to do it because it isn’t science fiction. So I asked our listeners on YouTube what they thought and the answer was unanimous. “No question—yes!” “Because it's Ray Bradbury, it gets a pass.” “Sounds interesting! I'm in!” and “I’d certainly listen to it.” So here it is!


From Dime Mystery Magazine in November 1944 on page 28, It Burns Me Up! By Ray Bradbury

It was a weird sort of battle for survival–not only of individuals, but each, against his will, represented his whole race. And the battle rested on ingenuity, tenacity and courage, not strength alone. Arena by Frederic Brown, that’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.


Thank you Carolyn Guthleben for buying us 3 coffees! “Thank you for a great show. I love good, real sci-fi, and it’s so hard to find. Many a dinner has been cooked while you sent me into outer space!!! Time flys and pasta boils when you’re having fun! Thanks Scott the coffee’s on me!”

Spawning Ground by Lester Del Rey

They weren't human. They were something more—and something less—they were, in short, humanity's hopes for survival! Spawning Ground by Lester Del Rey, that’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.

Special thanks to Ron McFarlan who bought us a coffee. “Still loving the show! I’d say it gets better but the early ones are pretty seamless quality wise. The story I thought you’d like is Robert Sheckley’s “Store of the Worlds”, as timely as ever. It’s from Playboy 1959 so may not qualify but I can hear you reading it.” Thanks Ron! I will ask our copyright expert Jesse if “Store of the Worlds” is in the public domain. As you know I love Robert Sheckley.

Never on Mars by John Wyndham

60 min
View

Jeremy got to Mars, all right, but nobody else came back. And so people would not believe he had actually been there at all. Never on Mars by John Wyndham, that’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.

John Wyndham appears for the first time on our podcast. Wyndham was born in 1903, the English science fiction writer is best known for his novels The Day of the Triffids, released on the big screen in 1963 and The Midwich Cuckoos, later filmed as Village of the Damned in 1960.

He wrote about a dozen novels and more than 70 short stories.

A British daily newspaper, The Financial Times, called Wyndham, "one of Great Britain's most serious and literate pioneers of intelligent science-fiction", and that "he always wrote well and imaginatively”.

It took a great deal of imagination to write today’s story which was published in Fantastic Universe in January 1954 on page 62, Never on Mars by John Wyndham…

Somebody once came up with a song title we have never forgotten: “For every man there is a woman, so why did I gel stuck with you?” Not that Mr. Morcheck felt that way about Myra. He not only believed she was absolutely perfect; you could get a punch in the nose for doubting it! And he was so right—for a while! The Perfect Woman by Robert Sheckley, that’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.

Mercury had no atmosphere—everyone knew that. Why was it developing one now? Hot Planet by Hal Clement, that’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.

Harry Clement Stubbs, better known by his pen name Hal Clement, was born in Somerville, Massachusetts, in May 1922. He graduated from Harvard University with a degree in astronomy in 1943. While still a college student, he published his first story, Proof, in the June 1942 issue of Astounding Science Fiction.

Though Clement wrote relatively few short stories—around 30 in total—and only 8 novels, his work was highly regarded. His skill as a writer earned him the prestigious title of the 17th Grand Master from the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America in 1999.

Appearing in the pages of Galaxy Science Fiction Magazine in August 1963, on page 6 you will find, Hot Planet by Hal Clement

The Venus Evil by Chester S. Geier

View

In the sweet Venusian spring, when iridescent butterflies swarmed and deer-things scampered, it was both necessary and good for Richard Farris to kill George Pearce. The Venus Evil by Chester S. Geier, that’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.

Another day, another author making his debut on our podcast. Chester S. Geier. He was born in 1921 in Stevens Point, Wisconsin. He wrote about 80 short stories, more than half of them in the 1940s. His first paid published story was, A Length of Rope, in 1941 and his last short story, The Astral Exile, was published in 1953. We know very little about him but we know that he was deaf from the age of twelve.

And I know that I love this story. It was published in the summer of 1947 about the time of the Roswell incident in Roswell, New Mexico. To this day some believe that an extraterrestrial spacecraft crash landed near Roswell and that aliens were aboard the spaceship. From Planet Stories Magazine in the Summer of 1947 turn to page 68, The Venus Evil by Chester S. Geier…

The Ultimate Vice by A. Bertram Chandler

26 min
View

Hallam wanted to get out of space – but even more he wanted to make a fortune first. Now he had found a way to do it – by selling – The Ultimate Vice by A. Bertram Chandler, that’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.

Arthur Bertram Chandler was born in England in 1912, forty four years later he moved to Australia and became an Australian citizen. He wrote more than 150 short stories starting with This Means War! in 1944. He also wrote more than 40 novels. He is perhaps most well-known for his John Grimes novels and for the Rim World Series.

He was a merchant marine officer, sailing the world in everything from steamers to troopships for three decades. This experience is often woven into his writing. His descriptions of life aboard spaceships and the relationships between members of the crew come from his experience aboard seagoing ships.

His debut on our podcast also marks the debut of Space Travel magazine in July 1958. Space Travel magazine was published for only three issues, although the magazine got its start as Imaginative Tales in 1954 before the short lived rebranding. We will find our story on page 100, The Ultimate Vice by A. Bertram Chandler

In a future where human contact is almost eliminated by The Machine, Vashti’s tranquil, isolated life is interrupted by a plea from her son, to experience the world outside the Machine’s influence. As Vashti struggles to understand his desire to see the stars from the Earth’s surface, a profound disconnect between their realities begins to emerge. The Machine Stops by E. M. Forster, that’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.

Our latest 5 star review is from MaddzW via Apple Podcasts, Great Britain, “ Obsessed! My go to podcast! I enjoy the journey of discovering these stories, authors, and their backgrounds. With gripping narration and an incredible voice, I thank you for my new nightly tales!” Thank you MaddzW we appreciate your review and we are proud that our podcast is your obsession! If you haven’t already left us a 5 star review on Apple Podcasts we hope you will and if you listen on Spotify could you please leave a 5 star rating? if you think we deserve it of course.

Edward Morgan Forster, born in 1879, was a renowned English author celebrated for his novels A Room with a View, Howards End, and A Passage to India. His works have been adapted into well-known films, A Room with a View, which featured Maggie Smith and Helena Bonham Carter, and Howards End, starring Anthony Hopkins and Emma Thompson.

Science Fiction fans will perhaps remember him forever for the amazing story you are about to hear. It was the most requested story we had never narrated until today. First published in 1909 this dystopian short story explores a future society where humanity lives underground, entirely dependent on a vast, all-encompassing machine that provides for their every need, The Machine Stops by E. M. Forster…

When enemies of peace threaten the System, they must be eliminated. There are many ways to do this. And if all else fails, you can always go to war with them. An Enemy of Peace by Robert Silverberg, that’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.

The February 1957 issue of Fantastic magazine contained a story we heard not that long ago, The Mystery of Deneb IV by Robert Silverberg. There was also a story in that magazine on page 86 by Ralph Burke, but it was really written by one of our favorite authors, An Enemy of Peace by Robert Silverberg…
