The tiny asteroid with the frightened girl and the wrecked spacer with the grim young man slowly spun closer and closer ... but the real danger came after the crash! Collision Orbit by Clyde Beck. Thatâs next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.
Special thanks to Paul Belcher for his 5 star rating and review on Apple Podcasts, âMy New Favorite Podcast. Iâm so impressed with this unassuming, yet extremely entertaining podcast. I love the narration, the little facts about each story, and the interesting mix of authors and different sub genres within the overarching sci-fi subject. Itâs been fun rediscovering classics and hearing some of the more obscure authors for my first time. Thanks Scott - I appreciate your hard work and dedication!â Paul we appreciate your spectacular review and thanks for listening!! If you havenât already left us a 5 star review, if you think we deserve it, we would appreciate it if you did.
Like others weâve featured on the podcast Clyde Beck was a science fiction fan before he was a sci-fi author. His short stories were published only four times, first in 1930, then in 1947, 1950 and 1953. Beck was born in California in 1912 and died there in 1986.
Collision Orbit was published in Planet Stories magazine in the summer of 1950. Two other stories weâve shared on the podcast appeared in that issue, Flowering Evil by Margaret St. Clair and The Enormous Word by William Oberfield. Turn to page 48, Collision Orbit by Clyde BeckâŚ
Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, same title, different story, The mountain men who opened up the frontier in the west werenât settlers, they were trappers, traders, fighters and gunmen â the men who didnât fit back home. The kind of men who will be needed on the frontier of space⌠Collision Orbit by Katherine MacLean.

What happens when a secret society demands your fortuneâor sacrifices innocent lives instead? An electrifying tale of power, greed, and morality. The Minions of Midas by Jack London. Thatâs next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.
Itâs been nearly two weeks since we narrated A Thousand Deaths by Jack London, and since then, weâve received numerous requests for more stories from one of Americaâs most renowned authors. We appreciate your emails and encourage you to tell us what you what to hear on the podcast, [email protected].
Jack London was an interesting character. He ran for Mayor of Oakland, California twice in 1901 and 1905 as the Socialist candidate and lost both both times garnering less than a thousand votes in those elections.
Did you know that todayâs story The Minions of Midas was turned into a Netflix series in 2020? The show is set in Madrid, Spain, and while itâs originally in Spanish, itâs also available in English. How cool is that? A story Jack London wrote back in 1901âthat was mostly overlooked for nearly 120 yearsâis now a full-blown miniseries! I found it here in Costa Rica, but Iâm not sure if itâs available everywhere.
Chances are you have never read nor ever heard The Minions of Midas but that is about to change. Pearsonâs Magazine was a monthly periodical that first appeared in Britain in 1896, a US version began publication in 1899. Open the May 1901 edition of Pearsonâs to page 698, The Minions of Midas by Jack LondonâŚ

Two Short stories from the 1800s. The Tell-Tale Heart and The Masque of the Red Death by Edgar Allan Poe. Thatâs next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.
Did you know we take requests? We do, and both of the stories you are about to hear have been requested a number of times. If there is a vintage science fiction story youâd like to hear send us an email, [email protected].
He was born Edgar Poe in Boston in 1809, orphaned at the age of 2 and taken in by a wealthy merchant, John Allan and his wife, Francis. And thatâs how he came to be known as Edgar Allan Poe. John Allan did not adopt Poe and thatâs why he didnât take Allan as his last name. Letâs travel back in time 182 years to January 1843. Our story was first published in The Pioneer, The Tell-Tale Heart by Edgar Allan PoeâŚ
Up next, a story published 9 months earlier, in Graham's Magazine in April 1842, The Masque of the Red Death by Edgar Allan Poe...
Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, All the logical answers to Charcotâs escape and disappearances had come up... but why should an escaped convict be logical? Solitary by Robert Silverberg.

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. Thatâs 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, âI was finishedâfinished as only a very young, very sick, and very hungry young man could be ⌠I would never write again.â
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, âIt 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.â
The story that started it all can be found on page 33 of The Black Cat in May 1899, A Thousand Deaths by Jack LondonâŚ

Lost in the pitch-black depths of a cave, a man faces the terror of the unknownâuntil he discovers heâs not alone. A chilling tale of primal fear. The Beast in the Cave by H. P. Lovecraft. Thatâs next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.
Thanks to 1mzk who gave us a 5 star rating and review on Apple Podcasts, âVery well done. I enjoy this podcast, both content and presentation.â And special thanks to bratface5477 for their 5 star rating and review, âWhat a treat! Iâm enjoying every minute.â 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!
Todayâs story began its journey in the spring of 1904, with the final draft completed in April 1905âwhen 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. LovecraftâŚ

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 dogâŚ. Nobody Saw the Ship by Murray Leinster. Thatâs next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.
Murray Leinster is one of our favorites and although weâve 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 LeinsterâŚ
Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, H. P. Lovecraft returns!

I bought the doorâeven though the auctioneer warned of evil. The Artist and the Door by Dorothy Quick. Thatâs 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 youâve seen the 1991 TV movie âMark Twain and Meâ 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 QuickâŚ

Mr. Harbinger could not quite believe in the Mouth. But poor Mr. Harbingerâor Darwin, if you preferâare gone to other times. Or Darwin, If You prefer by Mel Hunter. Thatâs 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 thatâs exactly what we have for you today.
Hereâs what Fantastic Universe had to say, âMr. 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, eruditeâthe work of a craftsman.â
This is the first time we have come across an illustrator turned author. And hereâs the amazing thing, he wasnât 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 imaginableâfrom 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 desiresâfor 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 HunterâŚ
Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, I bought the doorâeven though the auctioneer warned of evil. The Artist and the Door by Dorothy Quick.

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. Thatâs next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.

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. Letâs turn back the clock to November 1953 and open this pulp pleaser to page 72, Potential by Robert SheckleyâŚ

The scene-shifters slippedâand a man woke up on Wednesday, though yesterday was Monday. But Wednesday wasnât finished⌠Yesterday was Monday by Theodore Sturgeon. Thatâs next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.
Todayâs story is unlike anything weâve done before, and thatâs why we chose to share it with you on the podcast. The name of the magazine is Unknown. Itâs not that we donât 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 SturgeonâŚ

A picture is worth a thousand wordsâespecially 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 moralsâWow! Cosmic Striptease by Harlan Ellison. Thatâs next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.
Harlan Ellison earned the nickname âThe Bad Boy of Science Fictionâ 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. Ellisonâs combination of immense talent, uncompromising principles, and a penchant for stirring the pot earned him the well deserved title âThe Bad Boy of Science Fiction.â
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 EllisonâŚ

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. Thatâs next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.
If the name Herbert D. Kastle rings a bell, itâs 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 modestâthree short stories in the 1950s and another three in the 1960sâhe gained some recognition for his 1964 sci-fi novel The Reassembled Man.
In addition to his literary work, Kastleâs 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. KastleâŚ

Take one tiny memory out of a man's lifeâand the entire universe may turn topsy turvy. My Past is Mine by Gerda Rhoads. Thatâs next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.
Another podcast and another vintage science fiction author youâve 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. Thereâs 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 RhoadsâŚ

A man with a vendetta, Szabo Tibor, finds himself tasked with recovering a Russian space capsule near New Guineaâbut 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. Thatâs 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-fiâs 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. ClarkeâŚ
Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, Take one tiny memory out of a man's lifeâand the entire universe may turn topsy turvy. My Past is Mine by Gerda Rhoads.
