The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast - Vintage Sci-Fi Short Stories

A prosperous merchant is forced into a secret brotherhood whose members hunt as beasts and obey an ancient master who can reach into their minds. When that obedience threatens the people Wladislaw loves most, escaping the pack may require him to turn its own savage nature against it. The Werewolf of Ponkert by H. Warner Munn. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.

We narrated this story for our new podcast Weird Tales Reborn and we are including it on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast to introduce you to the type of stories that you will find on Weird Tales Reborn.

Let’s go back in time 101 years to the July 1925 issue of Weird Tales magazine and turn to page 11 where we will find, The Werewolf of Ponkert by H. Warner Munn…

Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, A brilliant mind pushes a forbidden idea too far, testing whether intelligence can exist without flesh or conscience. When reason gives way to rivalry, the cost of curiosity becomes terrifyingly personal. Moxon’s Master by Ambrose Bierce.

On a harsh frontier world, fear spreads faster than truth when a brutal crime fractures a fragile human settlement. As suspicion turns inward, the greatest danger may come from what people choose to believe. The Man the Martians Made by Frank Belknap Long. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.

Every time I finish narrating a story by Frank Belknap Long, I find myself asking the same question: Why did I wait so long to narrate another one? His stories have a way of reminding me just how imaginative and entertaining vintage science fiction can be. This time, I’m not going to make that mistake. We’ll be back with another Frank Belknap Long story tomorrow!
