Almost 120 days after I began this project, I’m wrapping it up with a big finale, the classic science fiction novel, The Invisible Man. Originally serialized in Pearson’s Weekly in 1897, it was published as a novel the same year. The Invisible Man the title refers to is Griffin, a scientist who has devoted himself to research into optics and invents a […]

Today, I bring you a short story from Philip K. Dick that is about as different from our last episode as you can get, while staying with the same author. The image I used comes from emilylongbreak dot com: emilylongbrake.com/day-325-the-eyes-have-it/And here’s the original text I used: www.gutenberg.org/files/31516/31516-h/31516-h.htm
The great Philip K. Dick wrote about the human condition as well as any speculative fiction writer of the 20th century, and I am incredibly lucky that this story of his is out of copyright. This was originally published in 1953. It’s about racism and colonialism, about how the participants in a war see themselves […]
Since I started Radio Free Burrito Presents several weeks ago, lots of you have asked me if I would narrate something by HP Lovecraft. I love the Cthulhu mythos, but I’m not crazy about Lovecraft’s storytelling. I feel like he spends a lot of time in the high concept and the world building, without ever […]
I did a SUPER short little audiobook thingy for y’all today. The whole thing is only about 11 minutes long, perfect for a quick walk around the block. Published in 1970, today’s short story comes from a battered old paperback I own called SUPERNATURAL STRANGERS, by Robert Tralins. Because it’s Earth Day, I recorded in […]
Today’s RFB Presents comes from my friend, Cory Doctorow. Cory says, “This is the story of the ogres who run the concession stands on Pleasure Island, where Pinnocchio’s friend Lampwick turned into a donkey. Like much of my stuff, this has a tie-in with Walt Disney World; the idea came to me on the Pinnocchio […]
A wickedly funny, beautifully written, tale from one of the great American authors.

From the Spring, 1940 issue of Fantasia Something, edited by Ray Bradbury, today’s short story is a goddamn delight. www.gutenberg.org/files/41651/4165…N_THE_WORLDSTATE

While we are Social Distancing, and Staying Home to Stay Safe (how about those capital letters?!), I’m recording and releasing free audiobooks a couple times a week. I’ve been putting them at SoundCloud, but I’m going to start putting them here, too, because I am proud of these little things, and I want them to […]
