  • 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.

    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…

    Fortunately I was able to find a story I narrated a while back that has never been on the podcast.

  • 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…

  • “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…


    Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, The Venusian horgels were just too lovable! Quarantined Species by J. F. Bone.
