  • A tale of dark science, and the ghastly mystery that enveloped the Spanish doctor’s attempts at artificial refrigeration. Cool Air by H. P. Lovecraft. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.


    The story of H. P. Lovecraft is a sad story. He lived a life marked by poverty, and personal loss. His early years were overshadowed by his father’s descent into madness, which led to his institutionalization and death. His mother, similarly afflicted with mental illness, was overprotective and instilled in him a sense of fragility and isolation.


    As a child, Lovecraft was a prodigy, reading and writing at an early age, but frequent illnesses and nervous conditions kept him from completing high school. He lived with his controlling mother and struggled throughout his life with self-doubt.


    His writing, though prolific, was largely unrecognized during his lifetime, and he was forced to become a ghostwriter just to scrape by.


    Lovecraft was diagnosed with cancer and was virtually unknown at the time of his death at the age of 46, and though he never achieved fame or financial success in life, his influence on horror and science fiction remains unparalleled.


    Today’s story was published two years after Lovecraft died and appears in the September 1939 issue of Weird Tales Magazine on page 95, Cool Air by H. P. Lovecraft…

  • The last living man on a world rendered utterly lifeless by all–consuming fire– how could he start life alone? Adam and No Eve by Alfred Bester. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.


    I love a great apocalyptic sci-fi tale, and today we have an exceptional one for you by a legendary author. Alfred Bester, a true icon of the genre, is honored in the Science Fiction Hall of Fame, the Prometheus Hall of Fame, and the Fandom Hall of Fame. He was also awarded the prestigious SFWA Grand Master Award by the Science Fiction & Fantasy Writers Association.


    Published almost 84 years ago in September 1941 in Astounding Science Fiction on page 35, Adam and No Eve by Alfred Bester…

  • Just because an event "has to" happen, some people think that, of course, it will happen. It ain't necessarily so! Ballard had but a few hours to solve the problem, and he knew that the answer was there, before his eyes—if he could see it in time! Momentum by Charles Dye. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.


    We are so thankful for your 5 star reviews and they are coming in faster than ever. RCraig had this to say on Apple Podcasts US, “ Sci-Fi at its best! This is the best of the best sci-fi podcasts. I love the stories and the narration and I highly recommend this podcast to anyone who like science fiction!” Thanks RCraig for the 5 stars and that awesome review.


    We would love it if you would leave us a 5 star review on Apple Podcasts, if you think we deserve it. And even though Spotify doesn’t allow reviews you can give us 5 stars on Spotify, where we currently enjoy a 4.9 rating.


    Thanks for everything you do to support our podcast.


    Another podcast and another author makes his debut. Charles Dye was born in San Fernando, California, in 1925. His first published story, The Last Orbit, appeared in the February 1950 issue of Amazing Stories. He is credited with having written seventeen short stories and one novel.


    One of the stories Charles Dye is known for wasn’t actually written by him. If you open Planet Stories magazine from July 1952, you’ll find The Man Who Staked the Stars credited to Dye. However, the story was actually written by Katherine MacLean, who was briefly married to him. The reason MacLean gave Dye credit remains unknown.


    By the way, The Man Who Staked the Stars is a novella—a work of fiction longer than a short story but shorter than a full-length novel, typically ranging from 17,500 to 40,000 words, according to the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers Association.


    Let’s peel back the pages of Future combined with Science Fiction Stories in July 1951 to page 59, Momentum by Charles Dye…


    Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, I don’t normally do this but the story you will hear next on the podcast is one of my favorites, The last living man on a world rendered utterly lifeless by all–consuming fire– how could he start life alone? Adam and No Eve by Alfred Bester.

  • It was a wonderful plan, a boon to humanity. And solving the parking problem would make a fortune for Slim and me. But when the secret got out… Parking Unlimited By Noel Loomis. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.


    Noel Loomis was born in Wakita, Oklahoma Territory in 1905, two years before it became a state. And if Wakita Oklahoma rings a bell it might be because it was one of the filming locations for the motion picture blockbuster Twister. This tiny town near the Oklahoma border with Kansas had less than 400 people when Loomis was born and only around 300 today.


    Although he wrote science fiction Loomis is best known for his Westerns. He won the Spur award for Best Western Novel in 1958 for Short Cut to Red River. He won the award again the next year for a short story, Grandfather Out of the Past.


    Noel Loomis penned two science fiction novels and about 30 science fiction short stories. From Future combined with Science Fiction Stories dated May-June 1950, we will discover our story on page 70, Parking Unlimited By Noel Loomis…

  • To those who wear the goggles of Dr. Dragonet there is another world–of mystery, joy and, yes, terror… The Goggles of Dr. Dragonet by Fritz Leiber. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.


    Fritz Leiber won more than his share of awards for his amazing work. He won six Hugo awards, three Nebula’s, a Bram Stoker, World Fantasy Award, he was posthumously inducted into the Science Fiction Hall of Fame and he won many awards that you’ve probably never heard of, Balrog, Geffen, Gandalf, Locus and others.


    We’ve already narrated numerous Fritz Leiber stories but thankfully there remain many others that are in the public domain for us to bring to you in the future.


    From Fantastic Stories of Imagination in July 1961 let us turn to page 96, The Goggles of Dr. Dragonet by Fritz Leiber…

  • The important thing was that they survive. Men were needed who’d be able to explore the surface once the ship landed. Trainee for Mars by Harry Harrison. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.


    Special thanks to "Tony from the future" who bought us 20 coffees. Tony had this to say, “Just found this podcast and am addicted. My wife is a bit worried as I've been literally listening 24hours a day, even as I sleep. Your selections and narration are unparalleled. As a 60+ year old these are the types of stories I craved as I grew up. I'm so happy to be able to support your efforts. I would like to make a recommendation. Since I know you like uncommon authors and also support female writers, please look into Zenna Henderson.”


    Thank you Tony from the future for your generous support and please make sure you get some sleep. I had never heard of Zenna Henderson but there is at least one story that she wrote that is in the public domain. Listen for one of her stories in the near future and thanks for your kind words.


    If you would like to buy us a coffee there is always a link in the description.

    You can never have too much Harry Harrison! His story The Stainless Steel Rat remains one of the most listened-to episodes on our podcast.


    Today’s tale first appeared in Fantastic Universe in June 1958, accompanied by this note from the magazine: “We seem so close to Space Flight that we’ve been afraid, these last weeks, that history might catch up with us and make Harry Harrison’s exciting story dated. There is that danger, these days.”


    As it turned out, history took a little longer—nearly three years later, on May 5, 1961, Alan Shepard became the first American in space, piloting Freedom 7 for 15 minutes and 28 seconds.


    Open the pages of Fantastic Universe to page 4, Trainee for Mars by Harry Harrison…

  • Two bitter rival scientists are locked in a feud that consumes their lives, but nature has a strange way of taking sides. When an eerie moth appears, the battle takes an unexpected and unsettling turn. A Moth by H. G. Wells. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.


    If today’s story sounds familiar but you're scratching your head thinking, I thought it was called The Moth, you’re right. It was not uncommon for stories to have more than one title in the early days of science fiction. When a story was reprinted in a different magazine, anthology, or even in another country, the editor or publisher sometimes altered the title to better fit the publication’s style or market.


    Whether you know it as The Moth or A Moth it’s still the same story and a very good one regardless of the title. Originally published in The Pall Mall Gazette on March 28th 1895, A Moth by H. G. Wells…

Seventh Victim is a story by Sheckley you should listen to if you haven’t already.

  • Silently it waited in a woodland glen, baited with dreams to tempt… the strange lost company that time had forgot. The Elf-Trap by Francis Stevens. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.


    There’s a good chance you’ve never heard of Francis Stevens. But after today’s story you will probably never forget her. She has been called “the woman who invented dark fantasy.”


    She was born Gertrude Mabel Barrows in Minneapolis Minnesota in 1883. Some say her middle name was Myrtle instead of Mabel but since the state of Minnesota and the county where she was born don’t have birth records going back that far we will never know.


    She wrote her first short story at age 17, a science fiction story titled The Curious Experience of Thomas Dunbar. She mailed the story to Argosy. The story was accepted and published in the March 1904 issue, listing the author as "G. M. Barrows”. Although the initials disguised her gender, this appears to be the first instance of an American female author publishing science fiction, and using her real name.


    She had only seven short stories published and wrote five novels, with just two released during her lifetime. From Argosy magazine in July 1919, The Elf-Trap by Francis Stevens…


    Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, The punishment had to fit more than just the crime—it had to suit every world in the Galaxy! The Eel by Miriam Allen DeFord.

    Although we were not familiar with Robert Moore Williams work, it’s not like he was a minor player in the pulp sci-fi world in the 1930s, 40s and 50s, with more than 170 short stories to his credit along with 20 novels.


    Williams was born in Farmington, Missouri in 1907, graduated from the Missouri School of Journalism in 1931 and published his first story in 1937. Zero as a Limit appeared in Astounding Science Fiction in 1937 and his career took off. His stories were published 17 times in what was left of the 1930s and 90 stories appeared in the pulps in the 1940s.


    We will find our story on page 130 in the May 1942 issue of Amazing Stories magazine, The Incredible Slingshot Bombs by Robert Moore Williams…


    Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, Silently it waited in a woodland glen, baited with dreams to tempt… the strange lost company that time had forgot. The Elf-Trap by Francis Stevens.

  • The biggest job in history and it had to be done with complete secrecy. It was—which was just the trouble! Project Hush by William Tenn and What thrill is there in going out among the stars if coming back means bitter loneliness? Homesick by Lynn Venable. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.


    Until today, we had never narrated a story by William Tenn—though, in truth, William Tenn never actually wrote a story. How is that possible? Because William Tenn was the pen name of Philip Klass.


    Born in London in 1920, Klass moved to New York City before his second birthday. He grew up in Brooklyn, served in the Army during World War II, and later spent 22 years as a professor at Penn State University.


    Klass wrote over 60 short stories, beginning in 1946 with Alexander the Bait, which appeared in Astounding Science Fiction. Most of his work was published during the 1950s. Turn to page 100 in the February 1954 publication, Galaxy Science Fiction, Project Hush by William Tenn…


    Our second story on the podcast today comes from Lynn Venable. Though she wrote only seven stories, each one left a lasting impression. This was her first, published in the December 1952 issue of Galaxy Science Fiction. We will discover our story on page 73, Homesick by Lynn Venable…

  • What if a single mysterious figure could bring the world’s armies to their knees and reshape society overnight? A future where science becomes the ultimate power—whether humanity is ready or not. Goliah by Jack London. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.


    We are so thankful for you. The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast continues to grow with new listeners around the world. Special thanks to “Someone” who bought us 5 coffees. They had this to say, “The Lost Sci Fi Podcast is such a joy… Scott Miller is a master storyteller, truly inhabiting each character in a way that makes you forget there is only one narrator! I appreciate all the research that goes into every episode, from finding these obscure gems to the interesting biographical notes about the authors. Thank you for making me look forward to my commute!” Thanks Someone! Your kind words and contribution drives us to provide you with more stories more often. Thanks!


    Jack London returns with a story published in 1908, in The Red Magazine, a UK fiction magazine. Sadly we couldn’t find a copy so we can’t tell you what page to turn to, Goliah by Jack London…


    Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, perhaps two stories are better than one! The biggest job in history and it had to be done with complete secrecy. It was—which was just the trouble!

  • Lancelot Biggs was perhaps the worst second mate Captain Hanson had ever shipped, and he was convinced of it when he ruined their cargo. But how dumb a man is, may sometimes be a matter of opinion. F. O. B. Venus by Nelson S. Bond. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.


    Nelson S. Bond makes his debut on the podcast today with an interesting character, Lancelot Biggs. Bond wrote 14 short stories featuring Mr. Biggs, and in time we hope to narrate all of them.


    Nelson Slade Bond was born in Scranton, Pennsylvania in 1908. While he was still in high school he reviewed plays for the Philadelphia Enquirer. He went to Marshall College from 1932 to 1934 and edited the college newspaper, The Parthenon. He met his future wife, Betty Folsom at Marshall and they married in 1934.


    He briefly worked for his fathers public relations agency but realized he could make more money by writing. And he wrote! Bond wrote more than 200 short stories, more than 200 radio scripts which included stories for the radio drama The Lone Ranger. He also penned about 80 TV scripts.


    Nelson S. Bond and Betty Folsom were married for 72 years until his passing in 2006 at the age of 97. We will find our story in Fantastic Adventures in November 1939. Turn to page 34, F. O. B. Venus by Nelson S. Bond…

  • In 1927 Amazing Stories had this to say about our next episode, We could wax rhapsodical in our praise, as the story is one of the finest pieces of literature it has been our good fortune to read. The theme is original, and yet fantastic enough to make it rise head and shoulders above many contemporary scientifiction stories. You will not regret having read this marvelous tale. The Colour Out of Space by H. P. Lovecraft. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.


    We appreciate your 5-star ratings and reviews on Apple Podcasts! If you haven’t left one yet, we’d really appreciate it. Plus, you can leave a review on Apple Podcasts in your country, even if you usually listen elsewhere. This 5-star review was posted by Doctorwoo on Apple Podcasts Canada, “Bingeable Classic Sci-Fi. Wow. Just wow! I have put all my other extensive podcast listening on hold, and I’m listening only to past episodes of The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast. Thanks to Scott for accompanying me on my winter runs, weight lifting sessions, and chores around the house. Scott’s selection of stories is right on the money, and his voice and characterizations are the work of a master. Thank You!” Thank you Doctorwoo!! 


    When we launched The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, our goal was to spotlight truly forgotten science fiction short stories—many of which had never been narrated before. But we’ve been listening to you, and your requests have taken us in unexpected directions. H. P. Lovecraft’s stories have been recorded many times, so we hadn’t planned to include them. However, your enthusiasm made us rethink that decision, and now we realize this is a story we should have shared long ago. So here it is—thanks to you!


    From the September 1927 issue of Amazing Stories, our eerie tale can be found on page 556, The Colour Out of Space by H. P. Lovecraft…
