Karson was creating a superman to fight the weird super-monsters who had invaded Earth. But he was forgetting one tiny thing—like calls to like. The Avenger by Damon Knight. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.

The very first Grand Master Award from the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers Association was presented to Robert Heinlein in 1975. Today’s featured author, Damon Knight, received the honor twenty years later, in 1995. Following his death in 2002, the award was renamed the Damon Knight Memorial Grand Master Award, in recognition of Knight’s legacy as the founder of the Association.

The Spring 1944 issue of Planet Stories has already delivered two tales featured on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast—The Monster Maker by Ray Bradbury and Fredric Brown’s And the Gods Laughed. Today, we bring you another gem from that same issue, this time by an author named Stuart Fleming—though that wasn’t his real name. Turn to page 31 for, The Avenger by Damon Knight…

Two men debate the limits of human understanding while sitting atop an ancient, haunted burial ground—only to be confronted by a terror that defies all form and logic. What lurks beyond language and reason may not just exist… it may be waiting. The Unnamable by H. P. Lovecraft. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.

If you’re enjoying the show, we’d be thrilled if you’d tell your friends. The easiest way to share the sci-fi love is by clicking the social media links in the description and posting our videos on Facebook, X, Instagram—wherever you hang out online. Thanks for listening, and thanks for helping others discover the stories we love to share!

H. P. Lovecraft was an unusual man. He wrote more than 60 short stories, plus some novels and novellas, but he also penned somewhere between 80,000 and 100,000 letters to friends and fans. Some of those letters were reportedly up to 50 pages long and he sometimes skipped meals to pay for postage to mail them.

During his lifetime, Howard Phillips Lovecraft lived in relative obscurity. Though he wrote all those letters to other writers and his small but dedicated fans his stories were mostly published in pulp magazines, earning little money and he got almost no recognition. Sad story, but if you think that’s sad, when H. P. Lovecraft died only two people attended his funeral.

Step back in time nearly a century as we crack open the July 1925 issue of Weird Tales to page 78, The Unnamable by H. P. Lovecraft…

Titans respect men who create, and add to the betterment of others. Surely it is brave to be a Titan and muchly in love. A World to Die For by Sam Carson. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.

Author Sam Carson is making his debut on the podcast. He is another of those authors that we know almost nothing about. Don’t know when or where he was born. But when this story was published the magazine had this to say, “Another new name for these pages. Here's Sam Carson, veteran writer, TV and Radio editor, former roving newspaperman.”

Sam Carson wrote 9 science fiction short stories that were published from 1939 til 1956. Open the July 1954 issue of Fantastic Universe and we will find our story on page 74, A World to Die For by Sam Carson…

Long before superheroes, there was… The Crystal Man. A tale of a vanishing body and visible consequences. He was H.G. Wells before Wells. The Crystal Man by Edward Page Mitchell. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.

Today we introduce you to an author that some refer to as “the lost giant of American science fiction.” Perfect for The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast don’t ya think? He wrote about an invisible man, the story you are about to hear, before H.G. Wells The Invisible Man, wrote about a time-travel machine The Clock that Went Backward before Wells's The Time Machine and more.

Why was he referred to as lost? Well, Edward Page Mitchell who was born in Maine in 1852 was an editorial and short story writer for The Sun, a daily newspaper in New York City. His stories appeared in the newspaper without a byline. So his work went mostly forgotten until a lot of investigative work by science fiction historian and fellow author Sam Moskowitz in the 1970s unearthed these groundbreaking stories.

Originally published in The Sun on Sunday January 30th, 1881, The Crystal Man by Edward Page Mitchell…

Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, They worshiped him as a god, this man condemned to death on that lonely world, Master Of The Asteroid By Clark Ashton Smith.

Tom's extraordinary machine glowed—and the years were banished from Old Crompton's body. But there still remained, deep-seated in his century-old mind, the memory of his crime. Old Crompton's Secret By Harl Vincent. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.

Harl Vincent was born Harold Vincent Schoepflin in Buffalo, New York, in October 1893. He wrote more than 70 short stories, all but a few of them published from 1928 to 1942.

If you had two dimes in February 1930 you could have purchased the 144 page issue of Astounding Stories of Super-Science, where you will find, Old Crompton's Secret By Harl Vincent…
