Step aboard our cosmic vessel and embark on a thrilling journey through the annals of science fiction history. Delve into the realms of imagination with us as we traverse the vast expanses of the solar system, encountering aliens, robots, and spacefaring brigands amidst the twinkling stars.
Join us several times a week as we unearth timeless tales penned by the luminaries of vintage sci-fi literature. From the visionary minds of Philip K. Dick to the poetic prose of Ray Bradbury, from the boundless imagination of Isaac Asimov to the pioneering works of H. G. Wells, Arthur C. Clarke, Harlan Ellison, and countless others, we bring you short stories that have shaped the genre for generations.
Prepare to journey back in time a hundred years, or more, to an era when these awe-inspiring narratives first graced the pages of pulp magazines and sci-fi anthologies. Yet, paradoxically, our destination often lies in the distant future, where the echoes of these literary marvels continue to resonate.
Guiding us through this celestial voyage is our narrator, Scott Miller, who serves as your companion and guide as we traverse the cosmos, exploring the wonders of yesteryear and the possibilities of tomorrow. Join us as we navigate the depths of space and time, embarking on an adventure that transcends the boundaries of imagination.

A proud young exile meets a storm-working dwarf on a desolate Genoese shore — and in a single Faust-like bargain barters more than he understands. A metamorphosis so literal and so damning it cannot be untold. Or forgotten! Transformation by Mary Shelley. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.
The Lost Sci-Fi Weekly newsletter launches a few hours. If You're listening to this episode not long after its release it’s not to late to get the very first issue. Click on the link in the description or visit LostSciFi.com.

The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast is now the #1 Science Fiction Podcast in South Africa! That makes 30 countries where we’ve held the top spot. Thirty! Our little vintage sci-fi time machine is chart-topping across the planet.
We never take this for granted. We would never hit milestones like this without YOU. Thank you for every play, every download, every share, every rating, every late-night session spent wandering alien moons and haunted laboratories with us.
And here’s our promise, the same one we’ve kept since day one: You will always get the absolute best vintage science fiction short stories — carefully chosen and passionately narrated.
From South Africa to Singapore, from Romania to Brazil, from tiny islands to huge cities… We’re honored to bring these forgotten gems back to life for you!
We said we’d bring you Halloween fuel as we crept toward October 31st — and here we are, delivering on the threat. Today’s tale is a seriously spooky relic from somewhere around 1830, give or take. That’s roughly a dozen years after Mary Shelley dropped Frankenstein on the world… or about 195 years ago if you enjoy doing math in the dark.
We can’t swear to the publication date, the edition, or who first slid this across a printing press — but we can promise it has the right amount of ghost-season creepiness, Transformation by Mary Shelley…
Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, They came to torment. They Came in Revenge. The Monsters Came by Night by Robert Silverberg.
