A brief tale of the dismal success of a scientist's experiment. Anton's Last Dream by Edwin Baird. Thatâs next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.
Another podcast, another debutâthis time for author Edwin Baird. Best known as the first editor of Weird Tales magazine, Baird helped launch the iconic American fantasy and horror pulp, whose first issue was dated March 1923 and hit newsstands on February 18 of that year.
However, Weird Tales got off to a rocky start. Plagued by financial difficulties, the magazine struggled, and Baird was dismissed after just one year at the helm. Born in Chattanooga, Tennessee, in 1886, Baird published four short stories during his lifetimeâthree before Weird Tales and one in the very magazine that let him go.
Yet perhaps his most enduring legacy lies in his editorial decisions. As the magazineâs founding editor, Baird was among the first to publish the work of a now-legendary author: H.P. Lovecraft. And if youâve heard our earlier episodes, youâll recall that Lovecraft was a tireless letter writer. Thankfully many of his letters were preserved, including this one to Baird.
Shortly after the first issue of Weird Tales was published Lovecraft let himself be persuaded to send Edwin Baird five manuscripts. This is a portion of the letter Lovecraft sent, âMy Dear Sir: Having a habit of writing weird, macabre, and fantastic stories for my own amusement, I have lately been simultaneously hounded by nearly a dozen well-meaning friends into deciding to submit a few of these Gothic horrors to your newly-founded periodical. The decision is herewith carried out. Enclosed are five tales written between 1917 and 1923.
I have no idea that these things will be found suitable, for I pay no attention to the demands of commercial writing. My object is such pleasure as I can obtain from the creation of certain bizarre pictures, situations, or atmospheric effects; and the only reader I hold in mind is myself.
My models are invariably the older writers, especially Poe, who has been my favorite literary figure since early childhood. Should any miracle impel you to consider the publication of my tales, I have but one condition to offer; and that is that no excisions be made. If the tale can not be printed as written, down to the very last semicolon and comma, it must gracefully accept rejection.â
So there you have it, a little piece of science fiction history thanks to Weird Tales editor Edwin Baird.
Published in Weird Tales Magazine in May 1937 on page 607, Anton's Last Dream by Edwin BairdâŚ

When a skeptical professor steps into the mind of a former studentâs fiancĂŠe, he discovers a surreal landscape shaped by vanity, obsession, and alarming emptiness. A sharp and unsettling exploration of how our inner worlds reveal far more than we intend. The Shoddy Lands by C. S. Lewis. Thatâs next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.
Clive Staples Lewis, one of the most influential writers of the 20th century, was born in Belfast, Northern Ireland, in 1898. In 1917, during the height of World War I, he enlisted in the British Army and was wounded in combat less than a year later.
Though best known for his beloved childrenâs series, The Chronicles of Narniaâseven books published throughout the 1950sâLewis also made a lasting mark with The Screwtape Letters in the 1940s, and his philosophical sci-fi epic, The Space Trilogy, written in the 1930s and â40s.
While he authored more than 30 books in his lifetime, Lewis rarely ventured into short fiction. Todayâs featured tale marks a special occasion: his first story published in an American fantasy and science fiction magazine. From the February 1956 issue of Fantasy and Science Fiction, beginning on page 68, The Shoddy Lands by C. S. Lewis.âŚ

Before Davidâs startled gaze the newcomer placed his right hand to his left shoulder and removed the left arm. He then proceeded to dismember himself until only a torso, head and one arm remained. The Artificial Man by Clare Winger Harris. Thatâs next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.
A new debut on the podcast today: the first woman to publish science fiction stories under her own name in the pulp magazines. While Francis Stevensâborn Gertrude Barrows Bennettâwas a trailblazer often credited as the first female science fiction writer, she published under the ambiguous name âG. M. Barrows,â using initials that concealed her gender.
Clare Winger Harris didnât hide hers. When her first short story, The Runaway World, appeared in the July 1926 issue of Weird Tales, it was credited openly to Mrs. F. C. Harris.
Born in Freeport, Illinois in 1891, Clare came from a distinguished background. Her mother, Mary Stover Winger, was the daughter of D. C. Stover, the townâs wealthiest man, a renowned inventor and industrialist. Her father, Frank S. Winger, was an electrical contractor and a science fiction writer himself, having published The Wizard of the Island; or, The Vindication of Prof. Waldinger in 1917.
Between 1926 and 1933, Harris wrote a dozen science fiction short stories and one novel. In the late 1930s, she moved to Pasadena, California, where she lived modestly and sometimes worked as a switchboard operator to make ends meet.
Remarkably, just a year before her death in 1968, she inherited a quarter of her grandfatherâs estateâvalued at over two million dollars. Though he had passed away in 1908, the estate had been tied up in court battles for nearly sixty years.
We will find todayâs story in the very first issue of Science Wonder Quarterly in the fall of 1929, on page 78, The Artificial Man by Clare Winger HarrisâŚ

A quest for identity meets the shadows of societal perception. As Rosina struggles to be seen, will she reclaim her voice or remain lost in the darkness? The Invisible Girl by Mary Shelley. Thatâs next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.
You may be wondering why this episode of The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast took longer to appear than a ghost at a sĂŠance. At the end of The Shunned House by H.P. Lovecraft, we promised you this story. And you probably thought, âHey, Mary Shelleyâthe woman who gave us Frankenstein and The Mortal Immortalâmustâve written another bone-chilling, brain-bending slice of early sci-fi, right?â
Then you saw the title: The Invisible Girl. Sounds science fiction-y, doesnât it? Invisibility! Mystery! Possibly lasers!
Yeah⌠about that.
Halfway through recording, we realized The Invisible Girl is, well⌠not quite science fiction. Itâs more âVictorian drama with a faint whiff of mysteryâ than âsteampunk invisibility ray.â So we had a choice:
1. Stop, confess our literary oopsie, and give you something more sci-fi.
2. Finish the story, release it anyway, and throw ourselves at your mercy.
We chose Option 2. Because, frankly, weâve gotten good at begging. Would you please rate our podcast wherever you can? Five stars if you think we deserve it. See what I mean!
So please forgive usâand enjoy The Invisible Girl by Mary ShelleyâŚ
Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, and we promise this one is science fiction! Before Davidâs startled gaze the newcomer placed his right hand to his left shoulder and removed the left arm. He then proceeded to dismember himself until only a torso, head and one arm remained. The Artificial Man by Clare Winger Harris.

Karson was creating a superman to fight the weird super-monsters who had invaded Earth. But he was forgetting one tiny thingâlike calls to like. The Avenger by Damon Knight. Thatâs next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.
The very first Grand Master Award from the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers Association was presented to Robert Heinlein in 1975. Todayâs featured author, Damon Knight, received the honor twenty years later, in 1995. Following his death in 2002, the award was renamed the Damon Knight Memorial Grand Master Award, in recognition of Knightâs legacy as the founder of the Association.
The Spring 1944 issue of Planet Stories has already delivered two tales featured on The Lost Sci-Fi PodcastâThe Monster Maker by Ray Bradbury and Fredric Brownâs And the Gods Laughed. Today, we bring you another gem from that same issue, this time by an author named Stuart Flemingâthough that wasnât his real name. Turn to page 31 for, The Avenger by Damon KnightâŚ

H. P. Lovecraft was an unusual man. He wrote more than 60 short stories, plus some novels and novellas, but he also penned somewhere between 80,000 and 100,000 letters to friends and fans. Some of those letters were reportedly up to 50 pages long and he sometimes skipped meals to pay for postage to mail them.
During his lifetime, Howard Phillips Lovecraft lived in relative obscurity. Though he wrote all those letters to other writers and his small but dedicated fans his stories were mostly published in pulp magazines, earning little money and he got almost no recognition. Sad story, but if you think thatâs sad, when H. P. Lovecraft died only two people attended his funeral.

Long before superheroes, there was⌠The Crystal Man. A tale of a vanishing body and visible consequences. He was H.G. Wells before Wells. The Crystal Man by Edward Page Mitchell. Thatâs next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.
Today we introduce you to an author that some refer to as âthe lost giant of American science fiction.â Perfect for The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast donât ya think? He wrote about an invisible man, the story you are about to hear, before H.G. Wells The Invisible Man, wrote about a time-travel machine The Clock that Went Backward before Wells's The Time Machine and more.
Why was he referred to as lost? Well, Edward Page Mitchell who was born in Maine in 1852 was an editorial and short story writer for The Sun, a daily newspaper in New York City. His stories appeared in the newspaper without a byline. So his work went mostly forgotten until a lot of investigative work by science fiction historian and fellow author Sam Moskowitz in the 1970s unearthed these groundbreaking stories.
Originally published in The Sun on Sunday January 30th, 1881, The Crystal Man by Edward Page MitchellâŚ
Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, They worshiped him as a god, this man condemned to death on that lonely world, Master Of The Asteroid By Clark Ashton Smith.

Mars' fever they called it. Could the wild boy cheat the Red Planet's skeleton deserts and the dogged trailers from Port Laribee? Return of a Legend by Raymond Z. Gallun. Thatâs next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.

Born on March 22, 1911, in Beaver Dam, Wisconsin, he began his writing career early, publishing his first stories, âThe Space Dwellersâ and âThe Crystal Ray,â in 1929 at the age of 18. He wrote more than 100 short science fiction stories and 5 novels. Most of those stories were published before 1950.
From Planet Stories Magazine in March 1952 comes a tale of the challenges faced by pioneers on the Red Planet. Turn to page 55, Return of a Legend by Raymond Z. GallunâŚ

One man alone on a planet of death. â A deadly robot made especially to pursue a human being. Was it just a cruel sport devised for some bloodthirsty pleasure? Built to Kill, Programmed to ChaseâThe Ultimate Predator Has No Mercy. Man-Hunting Robot by James Rosenquest. Thatâs next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.
Todayâs featured author is James Rosenquestâand no, not James Rosenquist, the famous American pop artist. When you search for our James Rosenquest online, Google will try to convince you that you meant the other guy. But weâre here to shine a light on the lesser-known Rosenquestâthe science fiction writer.
So what do we know about him? Honestly, not a whole lot. He published just five sci-fi stories in 1959 and one more in 1960âand then disappeared from the literary scene. Thatâs the entirety of his known work. But as always, even brief sparks can leave a lasting impression. From page 44 in the August 1959 issue of Super Science Fiction, Man-Hunting Robot by James RosenquestâŚ
Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, Mars' fever they called it. Could the wild boy cheat the Red Planet's skeleton deserts and the dogged trailers from Port Laribee? Return of a Legend by Raymond Z. Gallun.
