Thomas Olney has spent years longing for something beyond the safe, predictable world he knows. When he finally reaches a place where impossible visitors cross the threshold, he may discover that a man can return home without bringing all of himself back. The Strange High House in the Mist by H. P. Lovecraft. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.

Another 5 star review on Apple Podcasts US, this from sinisteracyd, “Sir you have a great voice and I absolutely devoured these stories.”

Thanks Sinister, we appreciate the review and the 5 stars.

H. P. Lovecraft achieved little financial success during his lifetime, earning modest payments for stories that would eventually establish him as one of the most influential horror writers in history. His influence extended to numerous other authors who continued to expand the strange fictional universe he created long after his death.

From the October 1931 issue of Weird Tales on page 394, The Strange High House in the Mist by H. P. Lovecraft…

A brilliant engineer discovers that the visitors who hired him have already murdered one man, and he may be next. His only chance is to outsmart criminals from thousands of years in the future, but the woman he has fallen in love with may be the one person he cannot save. The Gun Runners by Ralph Williams. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.

Ralph Williams didn’t write a lot of science fiction, but I’ve loved narrating the stories he published between 1940 and 1959. He’s one of those authors who leaves you wishing there were more.

We first introduced Ralph Williams to The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast about seven months ago with Cat and Mouse, and I’m delighted to bring you another of his stories today.

Turn to page 70 of the December 1954 issue of If Worlds of Science Fiction for The Gun Runners by Ralph Williams…

A Revolutionary War hero discovers that the America he helped create has become a place he barely recognizes. When his descendants proudly reveal what they stand for, one disgusted soldier may have the power to change everything. The Ordeal of Colonel Johns by George H. Smith. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.

George H. Smith made his debut on the podcast a month and a half ago with The Watchers. He is back today with a bit of history.

This wonderfully fun story imagines a scientific invention that can bring historical figures back to life. But when a patriotic organization decides to honor one of its most distinguished ancestors, the celebration doesn’t go quite as planned.

Let’s go back to the year 1954, The New York Giants swept the Cleveland Indians that year to win the World Series. Willie Mays made The “Catch” in game 1 of the series, at the Polo Grounds in New York City. Four years later the New York Giants relocated to San Francisco.

And the June 1954 issue of If World of Science Fiction featured a time travel story on page 84, The Ordeal of Colonel Johns by George H. Smith…
