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.

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.

Gasoline cost 26 cents a gallon, Bread 14 cents a loaf and a gallon of Milk would set you back 84 cents.

After an unplanned hiatus, we're back with the wonderful Kij Johnson, who will be a guest of honour at this year's World Fantasy Convention in Kansas City this coming October. Small Beer will publish a new collection of Kij's work, The Privilege of the Happy Ending, to coincide with the convention. We discuss the challenges and opportunities of teaching fiction writing in workshops versus university creative writing programs, how the workshop and the reading group have become so important to new writers since the early days of Kate Wilhelm and Damon Knight's Milford, the different problems of writing short stories, novellas, or novels, the balance between estrangement and immersion in stories, and Kij's own current and recent work, which ranges from experimental fiction to stories that revisit older writers like Lovecraft and Kenneth Grahame. As always, Kij is bristling with good ideas, and we could easily have gone on for another hour.

By the way “The World Of A” was the first hardcover science fiction novel published after World War II in 1948.When Van Vogt revised his novel in 1970, he commented on Knight's review saying  "I foresaw a brilliant writing career for the young man who had written so poetical an attack."Damon Knight is generally acknowledged to have been the first outstanding Science Fiction critic. He wrote around 17 novels and more than 100 short stories.His work found its way to TV when the short story “To Serve Man” appeared on The Twilight Zone in 1962.

Nibble noodles with Daryl Gregory as we discuss how he celebrated the two books he published during the pandemic, what caused him to say about his latest novel, "I like to split the difference to keep everyone as unsatisfied as possible," the narrative technique which finally unlocked the writing of that book (and why it made Revelator more difficult to complete), how our mothers responded to our writing, the way marketing affects the reading protocols of our stories, how listening to Damon Knight and Kate Wilhelm argue about one of his stories freed him as a writer, the promise a murder mystery makes to a reader, his "Mom Rule" for Easter eggs, the way he tortured a comic book artist with an outrageous panel description, how to play fair when writing a science fiction mystery where anything can happen, what Samuel R. Delany told him which helped him make his first sale to F&SF, how he doesn't understand why everybody doesn't want to be writers, the way his writing gets better during the times he isn't writing, Gardner Dozois' "ladder of sadness," and much more.

Damon Knight (1922-2002), noted science fiction and fantasy editor and novelist, and master of the short story, in conversation with the hosts of Probabilities, Richard Wolinsky and Richard A. Lupoff, on July 3, 1983 at Westercon San Jose. Damon Knight, who died at the age of 79 back in 2002, made his mark in the world of science fiction as a short story writer, novelist, and as an editor of several magazines and anthologies, including the Orbit series of 21 paperback anthologies, which ran for over a decade. In a career that stretched from 1940 to the mid-1990s, he wrote seventeen novels, and a long list of science fiction and fantasy short stories. His most famous story, “To Serve Man” became a classic Twilight Zone episode. For those in the field, however, he is most noted for being the founder of the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America (SFWA) organization, and the co-founder of the legendary Milford and Clarion Writers Workshops. The interview began with questions about his start as a science fiction writer, and his entry into a group of leftist science fiction writers known as the Futurians, in the early 1940s, and continued into a discussion of the founding of SFWA, his work as an editor, and his work in early television After 1983, he would go on to write seven more novels after the interview in the nearly two decades he would go on to live. As with many revered science fiction authors of the second half of the twentieth century, without any new television or film credits, his renown has faded over time, and few, if any, of his novels or anthologies remain in print, though some are available as ebooks. This interview was digitized, remastered and re-edited in March and April 2021 by Richard Wolinsky. As with most of the Probabilities interviews, this interview hadn't seen the light of day since it was first aired, and has never been aired or published in its entirety until now.   The post The Probabilities Archive: Damon Knight (1922-2002). 1983 appeared first on KPFA.

Bruce helps advance the question what the term “literary” means. Is it a commercial label? Is it a publishing market category for how to put similar books together in a bookstore? Class distinction or participation is one way to look, but so is technical accomplishment. In any case, learning to write seems a noble (and spiritual) way to squander your time as well as a social network, and Bruce has been amazing over a long and fruitful career as both a writer and educator. … Continue...Episode 92 – Interview with Bruce Holland Rogers

Frederik Pohl (1918-2013) recorded at the Octocon Science Fiction Convention, October 15-16, 1978. Interviewers: Richard Wolinsky, Richard A. Lupoff and Lawrence Davidson, for KPFA's Probabilities radio program. Digitized, remastered and re-edited February, 2021 by Richard Wolinsky. This interview has not been heard in any form since 1978. Frederik Pohl, who died in 2013 at the age of 93 in September, 2013, did almost everything in the world of science fiction, as a writer, an agent, and a magazine and book editor. He grew up in Brooklyn, began writing at an early age, and in his twenties was a member of a leftist group of science fiction writers known as The Futurians, publishing for pennies a word in the sf pulps of the era. In 1937, in order to make money, he became an agent, and two years later a pulp magazine editor himself, often buying his own stories along with collaborations with various other writers, all under pseudonyms. In the late 1960s, he became editor of Galaxy Magazine, and its sister publication, Worlds of If, and in the 1970s became the science fiction editor at Bantam Books which he left shortly before this interview. In the mid 1970s, Fred Pohl  emerged as one of science fictions pre-eminent novelists with Man Plus in 1976 and Gateway in 1977. In 1978, on the heels of novelist Damon Knight's memoir, The Futurians, he came out with his own memoir, The Way the Future Was. And that was where his career stood when the three of us interviewed him. We were all still new at interviewing, particularly in placement of the microphone. Fred Pohl's success continued for many years after this interview. Jem, published in 1979, won the National Book Award the only year there was an award for science fiction. The sequel to Gateway, Beyond the Blue Event Horizon was a finalist for both the Hugo and Nebula Awards in 1980. In all, there eventually were seven novels in the Gateway  (Heechee) series, and after 1979, all told, he wrote 17 more novels, the last being The Lives He Led, published in 2011, along with several collections, even more collaborations, and some non-fiction as well. At the time of his death at 93 in 2013, he was working on a second memoir, which has to date not been published. NOTES. Judy Lynn Del Rey was the sf editor at Ballantine Books starting in the early 1970s and soon had her own imprint, Del Rey Books (in collaboration with her husband, writer Lester Del Rey). Judith Merrill was a writer and anthologist, noted for her Year's Best SF Stories collections, which she edited from 1956 to 1968. John Michel was a key member of the Futurians who never fulfilled his promise. John W. Campbell was the editor of Astounding Stories, later Analog, from 1937 into the 1970s, and is credited with discovering such writers as Isaac Asimov and Robert Heinlein. His influence on science fiction was all-encompassing, even as his politics were, as Isaac Asimov quipped, somewhere to the right of Hitler. Horace Gold was the first editor of Galaxy, before Fred Pohl. It was the magazine that brought literary style into science fiction. Other names mentioned are Anthony Boucher and F. Francis McComas, the first editors of the Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction, F&SF. Three Futurians in 1938: Donald Wollheim, later publisher of DAW books, Fred Pohl, and John Michel.

Cuando los Kanamitas llegaron a la Tierra, trajeron paz, tecnología y ciencia, ¿ Cuáles son sus intenciones?

To Serve Man is a short story by Damon Knight. It is told from the point of view of a translator working at the United Nations, as he narrates the story of the Kanamit, a race of aliens that seem to radiate goodwill, friendship, and plentiful gifts. Humans are naturally distrustful of unconditional gifts. We have been raised to always question, always be curious and never take anything at face value. Which is something I'd like you to do as you listen to this story. Youtube Link:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0-n9BSJCuSA --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/kendsilva/message

Aqui os dejo este programa / magazine donde he mezclado tres reseñas literarias que espero que podáis disfrutar. Dos ellas las he grabado junto a Ricardo Manzaro y tratan sobre dos maravillosos relatos de ciencia ficción: En el Oligoceno de John T. Sladek, una historia deivertida y perturbadora sobre viajes en el tiempo y Servir al hombre de Damon Knight, ciencia ficción humorística con muy mala leche sobre el primer contacto con otra raza extraterrestre. Entre medias y con motivo del monográfico que estamos realizando en torno a la saga de Damon Drake de Jorge del Rio, os dejo un aperitivo hasta el siguiente capitulo, con una reseña que hemos realizado yo y el Señor Mota sobre otra de sus obras, Muñecas para matar, una extraordinaria historia pulp con muchas artes marciales y acción de por medio.

This week, with Jonathan hard at work compiling his year's best anthology, we revisit one of the oldest questions about science fiction—namely, what is it and how do you decide what to include or exclude from an anthology clearly labelled as science fiction? Rather than trying to offer our own definitions, we discuss the problem of definition in general. Gary argues that the many definitions of SF could be classed as the functional (or purely practical, like Damon Knight's famous “what I point to”), the rhetorical (definitions designed to promote the importance of the genre), and the theoretical (lit-crit stuff). We agreed that such definitions tend to change over time. That leads us into a discussion of the current state of space opera, and the question of whether the space setting is a defining feature, even when, as with Aliette de Bodard's The Tea Master and the Detective, the plot is borrowed from mysteries.   Finally, we talk about some of our current reading. Gary mentions Rivers Solomon's The Deep, which he sees as representing a fascinating collaboration between music and fiction since the central idea began with the techno-electronic duo Drexciya, became a Hugo-nominated rap by Clipping and is now Solomon's novel.  Jonathan mentioned Leah Bardugo's bestselling new fantasy, Ninth House, which is out now and which he recommends. As always, we hope you enjoy the podcast. We'll be back soon!

Hello! We are so happy and proud to present this episode, our wide-ranging interview with the man himself! Kim Stanley Robinson, avid listener of our Kim Stanley Robinson podcast, graciously gave us some of his time during a layover at O'Hare in Chicago--hence the no doubt at times bad sound, so please forgive us. Hilary and Matt met Stan at the O'Hare Hilton bar, where we chatted over numerous topics, related and unrelated to the Mars novels. We talked about the origin of the novels, the historical moment of their creation (the so-called "end of history"), and the process of writing them. Is Hiroko dead? The answer is in the last two pages of Blue Mars! We touched on Stan's method of pattern-making beyond the conscious level of the reader, including his use of color and elemental imagery (I think there's a dissertation there for aspiring English PhDs...[don't go to grad school]), and share a chuckle over the dimwittedness of the New York Times. We talk also about the pathetic fallacy and the pre-modernist sensibility and realist tradition that informs the Mars Trilogy, and mention the structuralist influence of Gerard Genette (The Narrative Discourse: An Essay on Method). In addition we talk with Stan about his science fiction influences, inspirations, and resonances. Books mentioned are Olaf Stapledon's Star Maker and Last and First Men, Ursula Le Guin's The Dispossessed, Joanna Russ's The Female Man, Gene Wolfe's The Book of the Long Sun,  Julia Voznesenskaya's The Women’s Decameron, and Damon Knight, among others. We chat about Ann, and regionalism, and (self-indulgently for Matt) Orange County, the Dodgers, and the incomparable Vin Scully. All in service of the Battle of the Nutsedge! We were so thrilled to get the chance to talk with him, and we hope you enjoy this interview. (Sorry for the at times bad sound--Matt put some work into trying to get the levels right and clean it up, particularly taking out the parts where he just says "yeah" over and over. If you have complaints or can't hear it, email us at maroonedonmarspodcast@gmail.com and direct them to Matt. But also don't do that.) We will be starting on The Martians very soon, and are looking forward to moving forward with you, our faithful listeners, on this exciting and fun journey through these amazing books and into the wider world of utopian science-fiction!

Before the Twilight Zone episode To Serve Man, was the short story by Damon Knight. Sit back and hear the original tale, read by Tom Elliot. The post Special: Tom Elliot reads To Serve Man appeared first on The Twilight Zone Podcast.

Wherein a swaddled lump of flesh is addicted to social media.Ruiz Tremello & Marguerite are in Paraguay, France, discussing the 1909 novella, "The Machine Stops", by E.M. Forster. This story concerns a far, far future evolution of humanity that neither of our hosts are interested in living in. If they could travel to the future, and they were stuck in this particular future, they would be far less happy than they are right now.CORRECTIONS: In the audio, "The Machine Stops" is stated to have been written in 1928, but this is incorrect, as the actual year was 1909. That incorrect date was taken from the "Cities of Wonder" short story collection, edited by Damon Knight.CORRECTION #2- Unfortunately, Ruiz did some research on Wikipedia, which inaccurately stated that E.M. Forster was nominated for the Nobel Prize for Literature 16 times. That is however, incorrect, as he was actually nominated 20 times.

Ruiz Tremello & Marguerite are in New Constantinople, Bolivia, and discussing "Babel II", by Damon Knight, from 1953. As usual, Marguerite had other things going on and she didn't read the story, so Ruiz provides a helpful summary. Along the way, an alien from another dimension comes to Earth for a shopping spree!Visit us at www.everettbookclub.com,or check out our Facebook Group, Instagram, or Twitter, where we can be found as "Everett Book Club".

Gobble fried green tomatoes with Bram Stoker Award-winning writer/editor Thomas F. Monteleone as we discuss the tricks he teaches to transform writers at his famed Borderlands Bootcamp, the 200+ rejections he received before he finally made his first fiction sale, how Theodore Sturgeon helped him realize it was possible for him to become a writer, why he ended up as a horror icon after his big start in science fiction, which horror writers you'd want on your team when you're choosing sides for softball, the reason his live readings have become legendary, the way Peter Straub reacted when Tom put him on a list of most overrated writers, how a challenge from Damon Knight changed his life, and much more.

Join award-winning science fiction writer John Kessel for a seafood feast as we discuss why he suddenly has two novels coming out within a year two decades after his last one, how attending the 1969 St. Louis Worldcon changed his life, the ways in which his objections to "The Cold Equations" and Ender's Game are at their heart the same, his early days attempting to emulate Thomas M. Disch, the time-travel short story he couldn't whip into shape for Damon Knight, which author broke his 26-year Nebula Awards record for the longest gap between wins, the secret behind the success of his many collaborations with James Patrick Kelly, and more.

Eavesdrop on my lunch in Las Vegas with Gene O'Neill as we reminisce about our shared Clarion experience way back in 1979, our reaction upon seeing a stack of Jack London's rejection slips,  the personality trait he shares with Harlan Ellison, what he learned from Carol Emshwiller, what he and Kim Stanley Robinson taught each other during their eight-hour drives to Eugene, Oregon for workshops with Damon Knight and Kate Wilhelm, and much more.

The Twilight Zone is a television anthology series created (and often written) by its narrator and host Rod Serling. Each episode (156 in the original series) is a self-contained fantasy, science fiction, or horror/terror story, often concluding with an eerie or unexpected twist. Although advertised as science fiction, the show rarely offered scientific explanations for its fantastic happenings and often, if not always, had a moral lesson that pertained to everyday life. The program followed in the tradition of earlier well written radio programs such as The Weird Circle and X Minus One. A popular and critical success, it introduced many Americans to serious science fiction ideas through television and also through a wide variety of Twilight Zone literature. The success of this original series led to the creation of two revival series (a cult hit series that ran for several seasons on CBS and in syndication in the '80s, and a short-lived UPN series that ran early in the new millennium), a feature film, a radio series, a comic book, a magazine and various other spinoffs that would span five decades. Writers for The Twilight Zone included leading genre authorities such as Charles Beaumont, Richard Matheson, Jerry Sohl, George Clayton Johnson, Earl Hamner Jr., Reginald Rose and Ray Bradbury. Many episodes also featured adaptations of classic stories by such writers as Ambrose Bierce, Lewis Padgett, Jerome Bixby and Damon Knight.
