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

A brilliant physician risks his own life to force open the border between body and soul, determined to correct what he believes nature has failed to complete. When the experiment ends and only one flame returns, his assistant must decide whether to protect a dangerous legacy—or let it rise again in a new form. The Ultimate Problem by Victor Rousseau. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.Victor Rousseau joins us on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast for the first time today.Born in Belgium in 1879, Rousseau was educated in Europe before emigrating to the United States as a young man. He eventually settled in New York, where he moved from journalism and translation work into fiction. Like many early pulp writers, he didn’t begin in science fiction alone. He wrote adventure stories, historical fiction, and romances, building a reputation for fast-paced storytelling long before the science fiction boom fully took shape.Rousseau became a regular presence in magazines, Adventure, Argosy, and later Weird Tales. Over the course of his career, Rousseau wrote dozens of novels and a large body of short fiction across multiple genres. In science fiction alone, he produced almost 100 short stories and several novels, most of them in the 1920s and 30s.The Ultimate Problem appeared in U.S. newspapers in 1911. We found it in the Stevens Point Journal of Stevens Point, Wisconsin, on Friday, March 3, 1911, published under Victor Rousseau’s H. M. Egbert byline.Sixteen years later it was published in the July 1927 issue of Weird Tales Magazine on page 77, The Ultimate Problem by Victor Rousseau…Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, He wanted to look beyond time and prove that history was still alive, waiting in hidden dimensions. What answered him from those angles was patient, hungry, and already on his scent.

A woman is offered one wish, but every choice comes with a price that can’t be escaped or softened. As the clock runs down, she must decide whether wanting everything means accepting something far worse. The Ultimate Wish by E. M. Hull. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.The heart of The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast has always been simple: we go looking for the voices that history misplaced.Not just the household names you see in every anthology. Not the writers who built towering reputations while others stood quietly in their shadow. We search for the authors who did remarkable work and somehow slipped through the cracks. The ones who published briefly. The ones whose stories are worthy of discovering.And when we find them, we bring them to you.That’s exactly how we discovered today’s author, E. M. Hull, born Edna Mayne Hull in Manitoba, Canada, in 1905.Before we go further, she is not the same person as Edith Maud Hull, the British romance novelist also credited as E. M. Hull. That Edith Maud Hull became famous for bestselling romantic fiction.Hull’s career in science fiction was brief. She wrote only five short stories. Five. That’s it. She also co-wrote one novel with her husband, A. E. van Vogt, one of the most influential science fiction writers of the era.Nearly all of her published work was produced during the three years she lived in Toronto. Three years. A creative burst. Then silence.A writer who contributed to one of the most exciting periods in speculative fiction. A writer who published alongside giants. A writer whose voice still resonates. And yet her entire body of science fiction work can be counted on one hand.That is exactly why The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast exists. Because writers like Edna Mayne Hull deserve to be heard again. We love uncovering these authors, dusting off their work, placing their stories directly into your ears so you can enjoy them.From Unknown Worlds in February 1943 on page 71, The Ultimate Wish by E. M. Hull…Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, A retired physicist triggers an experiment he knows he cannot reverse, forcing him to choose between unchecked growth and deliberate disappearance.

A factory worker wakes up far from Earth after a routine job triggers something no one warned him about. What he learns there forces a choice between keeping quiet—and deciding who gets to live longer back home. Welcome to Paradise by Allyn Donnelson. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.If you consider yourself the biggest science-fiction fan on the planet and you’ve never heard of Allyn Donnelson, you’re forgiven. He appears to have published only a single story, and beyond that, nothing. We don’t know when or where he was born or anything about him.

Earth’s most powerful leader discovers that the counsel he trusted most may soon be gone—just as the stakes become irreversible. When guidance disappears, the final responsibility cannot be delegated, delayed, or avoided. Final Exam by Sam Merwin Jr. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.When you’re diving into the early days of sci-fi, one name you keep bumping into — even if you don’t always recognize it — is Sam Merwin Jr., who makes his debut on the podcast today. Born Samuel Kimball Merwin Jr. on April 28, 1910, in Plainfield, New Jersey, he came into the world with storytelling in his blood: his father, Samuel Merwin Sr., was an established novelist and playwright. After finishing his BA at Princeton University in 1931, he also studied at the Boston Museum School of Fine Arts, and then spent the early 1930s in journalism — reporting for the Boston Evening American and later serving as New York bureau chief for The Philadelphia Inquirer. His first published science fiction story arrived in 1939, a tale called “The Scourge Below” in Thrilling Wonder Stories. In 1940 wrote a mystery novel, Murder in Miniatures, and over the years he continued to write both mysteries and science fiction, often under his own name and occasionally under pseudonyms like Matt Lee, Jacques Jean Ferrat, Carter Sprague, and others. Like many of his peers he even wrote a few comic book stories for DC's Strange Adventures and Mystery in Space.What really makes Merwin’s impact in the genre interesting isn’t just the fiction he wrote, but the work he did behind the scenes. In the 1940s and early 1950s, he became a key editor at some of the era’s most influential science fiction magazines — Startling Stories, Thrilling Wonder Stories, Fantastic Story Quarterly, and Wonder Stories Annual.Our story comes near the end of his career as a science fiction author, published in Fantastic Universe in November 1955 on page 61, Final Exam by Sam Merwin Jr…Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, A factory worker wakes up far from Earth after a routine job triggers something no one warned him about.
