The Monsters Came by Night by Robert Silverberg

They came to torment. They Came in Revenge. The Monsters Came by Night by Robert Silverberg. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.It’s Halloween week on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast — and that means we’re digging into the eerie, the uncanny, and the things that brush past you in the dark when you think you’re alone.Today’s tale takes us far from Earth — all the way to Mars — but don’t relax just because it’s “out there.” These things don’t stay politely confined to the red planet. In this story, the monsters of Mars don’t just haunt red dust and dead craters… they follow a man across the gulfs of space like a nightmare that refuses to stay in the dream.Settle in, dim the lights if you dare — and listen close — because once you hear them, you might never un-hear them.First published on page 34 of Super Science Fiction in October 1959, this one originally carried the byline Charles D. Hammer — and you might be thinking, who? never heard of him.You actually have heard of him… only not under that name. Charles D. Hammer was a pen name of a writer who would go on to be named a Science Fiction Grand Master.Listen to this story written by a very familiar name, The Monsters Came by Night by Robert Silverberg…Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, A mutinous Spaniard slithers into the shadow-soaked hold of an English ship with powder, vengeance, and heresy on his tongue. But in the stinking dark beneath the deck, blades whisper, loyalties bend, and something far worse than steel seems to be waiting.

The Mirrors of Tuzun Thune by Robert E. Howard

A weary King Kull gazes into the forbidden mirrors of Tuzun Thune, seeking wisdom beyond mortal grasp. But in those shifting reflections lies a peril far greater than any enemy he’s ever faced. The Mirrors of Tuzun Thune by Robert E. Howard. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.Quick heads-up: our brand-new Lost Sci-Fi Weekly newsletter launches this Monday, October 27. Tap the link in the description or visit LostSciFi.com to get it first.Newsletter - https://lostscifi.com/freeBefore there was Conan, there was King Kull—a brooding, introspective warrior-king from the ancient, drowned kingdom of Valusia. Created by Robert E. Howard, Kull first appeared in The Shadow Kingdom in 1929, one of the earliest true “sword and sorcery” tales.Howard wrote only a handful of complete Kull stories, but they stand among his most thoughtful and dreamlike works. The best known are The Shadow Kingdom, Kings of the Night, and today’s story, The Mirrors of Tuzun Thune—a haunting story about the peril of looking too deeply into one’s own reflection.You might remember the 1997 movie Kull the Conqueror — starring Kevin Sorbo (of Hercules fame) — which is the only movie explicitly featuring Kull. It was supposed to be a Conan the Barbarian sequel but was reworked into a Kull story when rights issues arose.We will find our story on page 367 in Weird Tales magazine in September 1929, The Mirrors of Tuzun Thune by Robert E.

The Transition Of Juan Romero by H. P. Lovecraft

Beneath the desolate desert lies a chasm that breathes ancient dread. When two men hear the earth itself stir, their world teeters on the brink of a horror beyond human comprehension. The Transition of Juan Romero by H. P. Lovecraft. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.It’s funny how The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast has evolved. Early on, we planned to skip H. P. Lovecraft—so many other narrators had already done many of his stories. But you kept asking for Lovecraft, and we listen. We dipped a toe in… and those episodes quickly became some of our most-listened to. Lesson learned: our podcast is better when we listen to you.Got thoughts, requests, or gentle gripes? I’m all ears. Drop me a note at scott@lostscifi.com. And if you’re enjoying the ride, your ratings and reviews help more classic sci-fi fans find us. Thanks for being here and shaping what we make next.The story behind The Transition of Juan Romero is nearly as strange as the tale itself. Lovecraft wrote it in a single burst of inspiration—reportedly finishing it in less than a day on September 16, 1919—but, for reasons known only to him, he never chose to publish it during his lifetime. It wouldn’t see print until 1944, seven years after his death. Curiously, it’s often left off lists of his works, almost as if it slipped through the cracks of time—an obscure shadow lurking between his better-known masterpieces. Maybe that’s part of what makes it so fascinating: even forgotten, it still carries that unmistakable Lovecraftian chill.From the Arkham House publication Marginalia on page 276, The Transition of Juan Romero by H. P. Lovecraft…Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, Horse-Sense Hank could answer all the problems of science. He could even apply logic to love. But turnips…! The Scientific Pioneer by Nelson S.

No Evidence by Victoria Lincoln

A man begins to sense that part of himself has slipped away—only to reappear in Ireland, where he was born. What unfolds is a haunting tale of divided identity and the eerie possibility of living two lives at once. No Evidence by Victoria Lincoln. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.Author Victoria Lincoln dabbled in science fiction only once, writing a single short story in the genre. She was best known as a novelist, biographer, and true crime author, whose career spanned several decades.Born in 1904 in Fall River, Massachusetts, Lincoln grew up in the same city forever associated with another notorious resident, the infamous Lizzie Borden. In 1967, Lincoln turned her attention to Borden’s story in A Private Disgrace, a deeply researched account of the 1892 murders. The book earned her the prestigious Edgar Award from the Mystery Writers of America, solidifying her reputation as a master of true crime and biography rather than science fiction.Her single sci-fi story can be found in The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction in April 1958 on page 70, No Evidence by Victoria Lincoln…Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, New York was a bad town for robots this year.
