Esta semana en Lecturas de Leyenda vengo con uno de mis cuentos favoritos de toda la vida, un texto breve pero brutal e impactante, de esos que nos recuerdan que el verdadero terror puede estar en lo cotidiano o en lo más tangible, pues en él no se incluye ningún elemento sobrenatural. Fue escrito por el maestro del relato corto Fredric Brown y se titula “Pesadilla en amarillo”. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

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.

Imagine this man in some vast city, New York or London. Imagine him on the third or fourth day of his solitude sitting in a house and hearing a ring at the door-bell!”*** Fredric Brown condensed this text to read "a sweet little horror story that is only two sentences long".

Leitura Bíblica Do Dia: Apocalipse 3:14-22 Plano De Leitura Anual: Deuteronômio 30–31; Marcos 15:1-25 Já fez seu devocional hoje? Aproveite e marque um amigo para fazer junto com você! Confira: No conto de suspense “Batida”, de Fredric Brown, lemos: “O último homem na Terra sentou-se sozinho em uma sala. Houve uma batida na porta”. Puxa! Quem poderia ser, e o que quer? Que ser misterioso veio para ele? O homem não está sozinho. Nem nós. A igreja em Laodiceia ouviu uma batida em sua porta (APOCALIPSE 3:20). Que Ser sobrenatural tinha vindo? Seu nome era Jesus, “o Primeiro e o Último. Sou aquele que vive” (1:17-18). Seus olhos brilhavam como fogo, e Sua face “brilhava como o sol em todo o seu esplendor” (v.16). Quando o seu melhor amigo, João, teve um vislumbre de Sua glória, ele caiu “a seus pés, como morto” (v.17). A fé em Cristo começa com o temor a Deus. Não estamos sozinhos, e isso também é reconfortante. Jesus “irradia a glória de Deus, expressa de forma exata o que Deus é e, com sua palavra poderosa, sustenta todas as coisas” (HEBREUS 1:3). No entanto, Cristo usa o Seu poder não para nos matar, mas para nos amar. Ouça o Seu convite: “Se você ouvir minha voz e abrir a porta, entrarei e, juntos, faremos uma refeição, como amigos” (APOCALIPSE 3:20). Nossa fé começa com o temor: “Quem está à porta?”, e termina num acolhimento afável e seguro. Jesus promete estar sempre conosco, mesmo que sejamos a última pessoa na Terra. Graças a Deus, não estamos sozinhos. Por: Mike Wittmer

In 1970, Avon Books published a landmark anthology, “Science Fiction Hall of Fame,” featuring 26 classic short stories that represent landmark tales of the genre. The stories were voted on by the members of the new (at the time, in the late 1960s) organization Science Fiction Writers of America. In this series, I will be joined by a panel of guests to break down these stories and talk about the authors in the book. In this episode, I am joined by my Star Trek roundtable bridge crew vocal Star Trek fan Sara Lynn Michener, and Musician/ filmmaker Issa Diao. Why the Star Trek crew because we are covering the classic Fredic Brown short story Arena, originally published (same month as D-day) the June 1944 issue of Astounding. Twenty-two years later it was adapted into an episode of Star Trek. You know the one with the Gorn! I also did into my Star Trek papers that includes inner office memos and notes on the screenplay.

We're excited to present two captivating listener stories that are sure to transport you to other realms. And that's not all; we have a thrilling science fiction double header lined up—two incredible tales straight out of the golden age of pulp magazines in the 1950s.

So, sit back, relax, and prepare yourself for a double dose of storytelling magic! Sci-Fi Double Feature - Time Fuse and Keep Out! This week we have a science fiction double feature. Our first story comes from IF Worlds of Science Fiction, March of 1954. It is titled Time Fuze and was written by the great author Randall Garrett. The ultradrive had just one slight drawback: it set up a shock wave that made suns explode. Our second story was written by Fredric Brown. It comes from Amazing Stories March of 1954 and is titled Keep Out.  With no more room left on Earth, and with Mars hanging up there empty of life, somebody hit on the plan of starting a colony on the Red Planet.

Autor de títulos clásicos como “Marciano, vete a casa” o “Universo de locos”. También cultivó el género policíaco, con títulos como “La noche a través del espejo”, “La trampa fabulosa” o “La bestia dormida”, por poner sólo unos ejemplos. Pero yo prefiero los relatos, siempre imaginativos, sorprendentes, con un tono burlón muy apropiado para el fin que persigue en ellos: retorcer el punto de vista del lector. La última selección de relatos que realizó él mismo, se tituló “Paradoja perdida”. Un libro que editó en España “Martínez Roca”. En él hay un prólogo escrito por Elizabeth Brown, su segunda mujer. Es muy breve, apenas un par de páginas, pero lo he leído una y otra vez porque me parece magistral el modo en que describe la rutina y las manías del escritor. Comienza con una frase que ya daría para llenar muchas páginas: Fredric odiaba escribir. Pero adoraba haber escrito. Habla de cómo postergaba el momento de sentarse a trabajar haciendo cualquier otra cosa. O de sus viajes en autobús de línea, por la noche, buscando la concentración necesaria para solucionar un argumento. Elizabeth nos confiesa incluso que ella misma no es una apasionada del género de la ciencia ficción, porque la mayoría de las obras de este género le parecen excesivamente técnicas. Pero no ocurre así con las obras de Fredric Brown, que suelen ser muy amenas.😍 Escucha el episodio completo en la app de iVoox, o descubre todo el catálogo de iVoox Originals

TOM MEAD chats to Paul Burke about THE MURDER WHEEL, DEATH AND THE CONJUROR Joseph Spector, the Golden Age era, true crime, theatre, magic and illusion. THE MURDER WHEEL: 1938, London. Ambitious lawyer Edmund Ibbs has got his teeth into the case of a lifetime - defending the young woman accused of shooting her husband in the infamous 'Ferris Wheel Murder' case. Despite a plethora of evidence against his client, Ibbs is certain he can secure her acquittal.But after a night of magic and illusion at London's Pomegranate Theatre, Ibbs finds himself behind bars, accused of a double murder. The renowned prestidigitator Professor Paolini and the operator of said notorious Ferris wheel are dead, and as far as Scotland Yard's Inspector Flint is concerned, all signs point to the lawyer's guilt.Luckily for Ibbs, illusionist turned sleuth Joseph Spector also attended the theatre that night. Can Spector's eye for detail pierce the veil of deceit in a world of illusion and misdirection, where seeing is not always believing?Tom Mead is an aficionado of Golden Age crime fiction. His short stories have appeared in Alfred Hitchcock's Mystery Magazine and Lighthouse, as well as Best Crime Stories of the Year (ed. Lee Child). Death and the Conjuror, his debut novel, featuring illusionist turned sleuth Joseph Spector, was highly acclaimed by the UK and US press and was one of Publishers Weekly's Mysteries of the Year. He lives in Derbyshire, England.Recommendations (selected)Edgar Allan Poe, Arthur Conan Doyle, Dorothy L Sayers, Fredric Brown, Ellery Queen, Soji Shimada, Seichi Yokomizo.The Murder of Roger Ackroyd, Mrs McGinty's Dead - Agatha ChristieThe Red Widow Murders - John Dickson CarrGreen for Danger, Death of Jezebel - Christianna BrandMrs Bradley mysteries - Gladys MitchellPaul Burke writes for Crime Time, Crime Fiction Lover and the European Literature Network.

"Experiment" opens with a scientist eagerly demonstrating his newly invented time machine to his colleagues. The machine, although small, serves as proof that time travel is possible. The men are enthralled by the prospect of traveling through time but fail to consider the ethical and moral implications of their actions."Sentry" introduces readers to a soldier stationed on a distant planet light-years away from his home. Initially, we assume the soldier is human, just like us. However, the story takes a startling twist when we discover that the soldier is, in fact, an alien visiting Earth.♥️Patreon Page - Help keep the show ad-free

Dimension X was an NBC radio program broadcast mostly on an unsponsored, sustaining basis from April 8, 1950, to September 29, 1951. The first 13 episodes were broadcast live, and the remainder were pre recorded. Fred Wiehe and Edward King were the directors, and Norman Rose was heard as both announcer and narrator, opening the show with: "Adventures in time and space... told [or transcribed] in future tense..." For two months, beginning on July 7, 1950, the series was sponsored by Wheaties. Overview: Preceded by Mutual's 2000 Plus (1950–52), Dimension X was not the first adult science fiction series on radio, but the acquisition of previously published stories immediately gave it a strong standing with the science fiction community, as did the choice of established writers within the genre: Isaac Asimov, Robert Bloch, Ray Bradbury, Fredric Brown, Robert A. Heinlein, Murray Leinster, H. Beam Piper, Frank M. Robinson, Clifford D. Simak, William Tenn, Jack Vance, Kurt Vonnegut, Jack Williamson and Donald A. Wollheim. Ernest Kinoy and George Lefferts adapted most of the stories and also provided original scripts. In Science Fiction Television (2004), M. Keith Booker wrote: It was not until the 1950s that science fiction radio really hit its stride, even as science fiction was beginning to appear on television as well. Radio programs such as Mutual's 2000 Plus and NBC's Dimension X were anthology series that offered a variety of exciting tales of future technology, with a special focus on space exploration (including alien invasion), though both series also often reflected contemporary anxieties about the dangers of technology. The series opened with "The Outer Limit," Ernest Kinoy's adaptation of Graham Doar's short story from The Saturday Evening Post (December 24, 1949) about alien contact. A week later (April 15, 1950), the program presented Jack Williamson's most famous story, "With Folded Hands," first published in the July 1947 issue of Astounding Science Fiction. With a five-month hiatus from January 1951 to June 1951, the series spanned 17 months. All 50 episodes of the series survived and can be heard today. Later, NBC's X Minus One (1955–58) utilized many of the same actors and scripts.

We open a new year of a reading with a little tale from Fredric Brown, one of what he called his "short short stories" - tiny tales but with memorable twist endings! DIRECT DOWNLOAD --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/hypnogoria/message

Fantastic stories are one thing, but I can't count the number of times I have been disappointed by the quality of the voice acting. I am very happy to say, that the standard of both contained within these episodes is top notch. As is often the case, there are often elements within classic scifi that don't age particularly well for numerous reasons, but they are few and far between. I think I will be blasting through the entire catalogue in no time and left waiting in anticipation for the next weekly addition. Great work!” Thanks blablahyaddayadda for your glowing review.

Find Weird Darkness wherever you listen to podcasts: https://linktr.ee/weirddarkness IN THIS EPISODE: “Knock” by Fredrik Brown starts with a short-short story based on the following text of Thomas Bailey Aldrich: ***“Imagine all human beings swept off the face of the earth, excepting one man. Imagine this man in some vast city, New York or London. Imagine him on the third or fourth day of his solitude sitting in a house and hearing a ring at the door-bell!”*** Fredric Brown condensed this text to read "a sweet little horror story that is only two sentences long". Brown's short story then goes on to elaborate on those two sentences and builds a more complete plot around them. “Knock” was originally published in the December 1948 issue of Thrilling Wonder Stories. There have been three different radio adaptations (Dimension X, X Minus One and the Sci Fi Channel's Seeing Ear Theatre). And now it gets another adaptation – in this episode. The story was also reprinted in The Best Science Fiction Stories: 1949.SOURCES AND ESSENTIAL WEB LINKS…“Knock” by Fredrik Brown: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/4cc9433d Background info about “Knock” from Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knock_(short_story) = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =Weird Darkness theme by Alibi Music Library.

Hank was spinning quite a space lie—something about earrings wearing their owners. The crew got a boot out of the yarn—until they got to thinking. And The Gods Laughed by Fredric Brown, that's next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, with at least one lost vintage sci-fi short story in every episode.Today's episode of the podcast marks the debut of Fredric Brown. Brown was born in Cincinnati, Ohio in 1906. At 18 he became an office worker and did that until he was 30, when he left to become a writer. His first science fiction short story appeared 5 years later in 1941. He won the “Edgar” award for Best First Mystery for “The Fabulous Clipjoint” in 1947 from the Mystery Writers of America.Fredric Brown wrote more than 300 short stories including some of the shortest science fiction short stories you'll ever find. Many of them can be found in vintage science fiction magazines, in their entirety, on only one page. And The Gods Laughed isn't a long story, but its longer than those one-page vignettes. Let's go back in time 78 years and peruse the Spring 1944 edition of Planet Stories magazine. Turn to page 105 and enjoy And The Gods Laughed by Fredric Brown.
