She was just a sweet, kind-hearted old landlady who couldn't keep her nose out of other people’s business. This was very unfortunate for Mr. Thobal. The Man Who Was Pale by Jack Sharkey. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.

Let’s step back in time to December 1959, when Fantastic Science Fiction Stories delivered eerie, unforgettable tales. On page 78, Jack Sharkey delivers an atmosphere of dread that creeps in quietly and refuses to let go, reminding readers why the pulp era was a golden age of unsettling imagination, The Man Who Was Pale by Jack Sharkey…

That man beside you may be a Martian. They own our world, but only a few wise and far-seeing men like Lyman know it! Don’t Look Now by Henry Kuttner. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.

It’s not uncommon for a good vintage science fiction story to appear in anthologies years after its initial publication. But very few can be found in more than 40 publications. Henry Kuttner himself chose today’s story for the anthology My Best Science Fiction Story.

Originally published in Startling Stories in March 1948 on page 69, Don’t Look Now by Henry Kuttner…

Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, Women will always go on trying to attract men … even when the future seems to have no future! Coming Attraction by Fritz Leiber.

Behind closed doors and under the cover of night, a spacecraft rises. Conceived in confidence and launched in silence, this is the unforgettable tale of Friendship Eleven. The Secret Flight of Friendship Eleven by Alfred Connable. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.

Special thanks to Paul Morris, one of our loyal podcast listeners. Paul designed a graphic for the show, and when another listener mentioned she’d love to have it on a T-shirt, he generously offered it to us for that very purpose. Now you can check it out for yourself—and if you’d like, you can grab a T-shirt, hoodie, or coffee mug featuring the design. You’ll find the link in the description.

Today’s author, Alfred Connable, had only one published story. Connable was a poli sci graduate of the University of Michigan and had a degree from Yale in playwriting. From the pages of Fantasy & Science Fiction in November 1962 on page 5, The Secret Flight of Friendship Eleven by Alfred Connable…

An ancient intelligence stirs, locked in a struggle for survival against forces both familiar and alien. But when outsiders arrive with their own secret agenda, the battle takes an unexpected and perilous turn. Process by A. E. Van Vogt. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.

There are two stories today on the podcast, a short story and a really short story. First up from Fantasy & Science Fiction magazine in December 1950, we leaf through the crackling old pages, chasing the promise of another unusual story which we will find on page 46, Process by A. E. Van Vogt…

Our recent stories have been a little on the unusual side, and this one keeps that streak alive. From the first time I read it, I knew it had to be part of the podcast—I was just waiting for the right moment to share it.

Published in Amazing Stories in August 1962 on page 74, Dear Nan Glanders by Beta McGavin...

It doesn't take a heap of leaving to make any house a nightmare. One vanishing door will do nastily. Thirty Degrees Cattywonkus by James Bell. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.

Author James Bell joins a long list of vintage sci-fi authors we know nothing about. He wrote two stories that were published in the 1960s and that’s that.

By the way, in case you were wondering, the word Cattywonkus does not appear in the Merriam Webster dictionary. However Cattywampus is in the dictionary.

From the May 1960 issue of If Worlds of Science Fiction on page 37, Thirty Degrees Cattywonkus by James Bell…
