A team of engineers travels to a remote Tibetan monastery to install a computer meant to complete a centuries-long sacred task. But as the machine nears the end of its work, the engineers realize the monks believe its final output will trigger something far greater than they ever imagined. The Nine Billion Names Of God by Arthur C. Clarke. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.Have you filled out our listener survey?

Clarke’s most famous and most debated works—The Nine Billion Names of God. First published in 1953, it blends technology, philosophy, and belief in a way that only Clarke could.In this tale, two engineers trek into the remote Himalayas to help a monastery complete a centuries-old sacred project. What begins as a straightforward installation job slowly reveals an idea so vast and unexpected that it has echoed through science fiction ever since.Clarke is at his most graceful and unforgettable here. The story later earned the Retro Hugo Award for Best Short Story in 2004. It first appeared in Ballantine Books’ Star Science Fiction Stories anthology in February 1953, released in both paperback and hardcover.

In a rundown San Francisco apartment building, Ellen begins to suspect something monstrous is hiding behind her neighbors’ polite smiles.

A dead cat, a frightened tenant, and whispers of a green-skinned intruder turn a normal morning into mounting dread.Lewis was one of many talented women who wrote for the pulp magazines but never received the recognition they deserved. It’s the only story of hers we’ve been able to uncover, and once you listen, we think you’ll feel the same way we do: if only we had a time machine to urge her to keep writing.Published in February 1953 in Galaxy Science Fiction magazine on page 100, Know Thy Neighbor by Elisabeth R.

A screaming meteor tears out of the sky and leaves more than a crater in its wake—inside it lies a mystery that bends the laws of physics. When Charlie King steps into the blue haze surrounding the fallen stone, he discovers that rescuing the Meteor Girl may require a leap across space-time itself. The Meteor Girl by Jack Williamson. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.I love hearing from listeners around the world—it’s your feedback that keeps Lost Sci-Fi flying through the galaxy week after week. Here’s a message that made my day from RickBase456 on Spotify“Love The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast! Scott’s narrations and characterizations sound like the voices I imagine when reading. I found the podcast on Spotify when I searched for ‘Sci-Fi,’ checked out the first story, and never looked back. Many thanks for an entertaining podcast that reminds me of the days when I subscribed to the Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction.”Thanks Rick! We’re happy to take you on a trip down science-fiction memory lane. We’ve got a fascinating trip through forgotten futures, strange worlds, and stories that once filled the golden pages of pulp magazines — all brought back to life, one episode at a time.What would you do if a glowing meteor landed on Earth—not with destruction, but with a doorway to something impossible? Jack Williamson wasn’t just asking that question… he was asking it in 1931, when ideas like relativity, other dimensions, and cosmic portals were still wild, frightening theories rather than sci-fi staples. A love story, a scientific gamble, a leap into the unknown—time to find out how far one man will go to save the woman he loves… even if it means stepping outside the universe itself. From Astounding Stories in March 1931 our story begins on page 404, The Meteor Girl by Jack Williamson…Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, In a rundown San Francisco apartment building, Ellen begins to suspect something monstrous is hiding behind her neighbors’ polite smiles.

A routine bank delivery turns into a night of sinister secrets when a young clerk visits a wealthy recluse in the lonely hills of West Virginia. What he discovers in the cellar — and later inside a wine cask — reveals a decade-old revenge no one imagined. The Other One by A. H. Gibson. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.This story by A. H. Gibson delivers the kind of eerie, slow-building tension that early pulp fiction did best. There are no aliens or machines, just good old fashioned pulp fiction.We know very little about A. H. Gibson, whose story appeared in The Black Cat magazine in the late 1800s — a publication renowned for its strange, psychological, and macabre fiction. Though Gibson never achieved fame, The Other One proves why forgotten writers from the early pulp era deserve rediscovery. It stands as a perfect example of what “lost” truly means — a dark gem waiting to be found again.From the second issue of The Black Cat in November 1895, on page 34, The Other One by A. H.

Two men cross into a mysterious fourth-dimensional world in search of a rare element that could save their own civilization — or destroy another. But the moment they arrive, they discover they are not the only ones with a hidden agenda… and not everyone plans to return alive. Shadow World by Ray Cummings. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.You may be wondering why I haven’t mentioned Rise the wellness drink for some time. A listener gave us a scathing review and said I was shilling for a product of questionable origin. I thought, what if he’s right? So I didn’t take Rise for to see what would happen. Two weeks later in the middle of the night I woke up to horrific diabetic neuropathy pain and couldn’t go back to sleep. Two nights later, same thing. So I started taking Rise again and I will never stop. No more pain! You can give us a 1 star review and you can think whatever you want to think even though you have never taken it. I take Rise, and I know, I don't think or hope it works, I know it works for me. No more pain, more energy, I feel better when I take Rise and I’m telling you about it because I know it works. I don’t just recommend Rise, I depend on it to be pain free. Try it for yourself, there’s a link in the description and on lostscifi.com. 🍹Rise - https://bit.ly/45So7YrToday’s story comes from one of the most influential early architects of the genre, Ray Cummings — a former assistant to Thomas Edison, and one of the first writers to explore parallel dimensions and scientific speculation in popular fiction. Published in Thrilling Wonder Stories in December 1939, Shadow World imagines a hidden reality that exists beside our own, vibrating at a different rate, unseen but real — and it asks what might happen if we found a way to step into it. We will discover the fourth dimension on page 80, Shadow World by Ray Cummings…Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, A routine bank delivery turns into a night of sinister secrets when a young clerk visits a wealthy recluse in the lonely hills of West Virginia.

This one comes from Zippoflask, who writes:“A bright light amid the dark miasma of today’s narrated fiction. After searching for a good wholesome and imaginative starring narration, it is wonderful to come upon the beacon that is Scott Miller’s voice and story contributions. I hope he will continue to do this for a long, long time. And I wish both he and his family the best of health!”Thank you, Zippoflask—your review made our day.And now a question for all of you: what would happen if the tens of thousands of listeners who enjoy the show every week took a moment to leave a review on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen? We’re pretty sure it would launch Lost Sci-Fi straight to the moon… maybe even past the stars.During his lifetime, Fritz Leiber produced an astonishing range of unforgettable science fiction—brilliant, bold, and always a step ahead of his peers. You don’t earn six Hugo Awards, three Nebulas, two World Fantasy Awards, two British Fantasy Awards, a shelf of additional honors, and the prestigious SFWA Grand Master title unless you consistently deliver greatness.But Leiber also had a playful side, and some of his most enjoyable work comes from those lighter, offbeat tales. Imagine cracking open the December 1957 issue of Galaxy Science Fiction, flipping to page 69, and suddenly finding yourself in the middle of a very unusual family dilemma.

Time travel, teleportation, cybernetics, artificial intelligence… Mitchell wrote it all before most people even had electricity in their homes.His stories appeared in newspapers, not magazines, which is one reason his name slipped through the cracks of history. But make no mistake—long before Verne, Wells, or Asimov were household names, Edward Page Mitchell was already imagining the impossible and treating it as everyday fact.First published in The New York Sun on March 25, 1877, this is one of his most remarkable tales—equal parts eerie, inventive, and shockingly modern for its era, The Man Without A Body by Edward Page Mitchell…Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, An unsuspecting family hosts Earth’s first Martian visitor… only to discover he’s been locked in their upstairs bathroom for hours.

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.

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.

Bond’s storytelling. It’s not about rockets or cosmic mishaps, but about a simple country man whose plainspoken wisdom leaves even the brightest scientific minds baffled.Bond was one of the greats of early science fiction, a man who could make you laugh, think, and feel all in the span of a few pages.

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.

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.
