A fallen satellite of the Planet Venus is the lure which leads three hunted beings to the mysterious island of smiling death! The Moon That Vanished by Leigh Brackett, that's next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, with at least one lost vintage sci-fi short story in every episode. The Moon That Vanished marks the debut of the woman known as "The Queen of Space Opera.” Born in Los Angeles in December 1915 Leigh Douglass Brackett wasn't just an author. Hollywood director Howard Hawks was so impressed by her novel No Good From a Corpse that he had his secretary call in "this guy Brackett" to help William Faulkner write the script for the 1946 movie The Big Sleep starring Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall. She was one of the screenwriters for the 1959 John Wayne movie Rio Bravo which also starred Dean Martin and Ricky Nelson.And she wrote the first version for a little movie, “Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back”. She died soon thereafter and because it was an unfinished script her draft was revised and none of her ideas made it in the final script. Her Science Fiction career began in 1940 when she wrote the short story Martian Quest. She would write short stories, novels and screenplays, with time off every now and then, until her death from cancer at the age of 62.We'll find our story in the October 1948 issue of Thrilling Wonder Stories magazine, turn to page 13 for, The Moon That Vanished by Leigh Brackett…Why did I choose this story? Leigh Brackett has been on my radar for some time now and I wanted our first Brackett story to be a good one. She did write many short sci-fi stories but this one, as you know by now, is a little longer. For me The Moon That Vanished was a roller coaster ride with exotic locations and descriptive phrases far beyond most of the shorter stories we've narrated so far. I loved it and there will be more stories by Leigh Brackett on the podcast.Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, yet another story written by a woman, Like all her other plants from far-off worlds, Aunt Amy hoped the Venusian Rambler would win a prize.

#248 El refugiado de Jane Rice

Relatos de Misterio y Suspense

Play Episode Listen Later Jul 25, 2023 43:11


El refugiado es un relato de hombres lobo de la escritora norteamericana Jane Rice, publicado originalmente en la edición de octubre de 1943 en la revista Unknown Worlds, y luego reeditado en la antología de 2003: El ídolo de las moscas y otras historias. El refugiado, relata la historia de Milli Cushman, una mujer estadounidense atrapada en Francia durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial, soportando las incomodidades del racionamiento y el tedio del aislamiento, quien es sacudida de su rutina cuando un joven extraordinariamente apuesto, desnudo, de aspecto lobuno, aparece durmiendo en su jardín. SPOILERS. El refugiado de Jane Rice apareció en el último número de Unknown Worlds, cuyo editor, John W. Campbell, fue un pionero introduciendo a varias escritoras que no se encontraban con mucha frecuencia en las revistas pulp. Campbell, además, era extremadamente exigente, tal es así que en 1942 rechazó el primer relato de Ursula Kroeber. La chica tenía apenas doce años en ese momento y, al parecer, su historia necesitaba mucho trabajo. No obstante, la alentó a seguir escribiendo, afirmando además que se convertiría en una gran escritora en el futuro. Ursula Kroeber siguió su consejo. El lector quizás la conozca mejor por su seudónimo, Ursula K. Le Guin. Milli Cushman está atrapada en Francia durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial, probablemente en París, pero esto no está claro. Definitivamente es una zona ocupada por los nazis. Milli es rica, a pesar de ser hija de un carnicero d Pittsburgh. Jane Rice la describe como una mujer mimada, frívola, y fatalmente ingenua. Anhela las fiestas, los cócteles, los días de ir al Café Royale. Pero la realidad es dura. La comida escasea. Milli piensa en la ciudad como un «demacrado gato gris», lo cual le recuerda, tal vez, una frase de su padre: «cocinado, un gato tiene un parecido sorprendente con el conejo». Para agregarle mayor dramatismo a la situación, no se encuentran peluqueros decentes. Y luego está la cuestión de los hombres. No hay, no hombres interesantes, al menos (ver: El cuerpo de la mujer en el Horror) El hambre ha agudizado los recuerdos de la carnicería de su padre. Es difícil no pensar en ellos en una época de racionamiento. Sin embargo, Milli intenta mantener las apariencias. Y lo consigue, hasta que un día ve al hombre en su jardín, un hombre desnudo de «excelente anatomía». Milli, hambrienta no solo de carne vacuna, es sobrecogida por la excitación. El hombre es «perfectamente hermoso», tal es así que la primera reacción de Milli es levantar un poco la cabeza para ocultar una incipiente papada. El hombre, sin embargo, huye del jardín cuando María, la sirvienta, entra en el salón para comentarle a Milli que un vecino de la zona, Phillipe, ha sido encontrado muerto, a falta de una palabra mejor, porque lo cierto es que de su cadáver solo se han encontrado los huesos. El refugiado de Jane Rice es un relato engañoso, que parece dirigirse inevitablemente hacia un final que el lector anticipa en las primeras páginas, para darle una verdadera bofetada en el rostro. En primer lugar, tenemos a un hombre lobo que no es un alma perdida [como hemos visto hace poco en El hombre lobo de Ponkert (The Werewolf of Ponkert)], y menos aun alguien que lamenta su condición de licántropo. En cambio, tenemos un joven galán que claramente se deleita con los aspectos más siniestros de la licantropía (ver: Razas y clanes de hombres lobo) Es inevitable mencionar algunas similitudes intencionales entre El refugiado y el cuento de Caperucita Roja, solo que el interés amoroso de Milli resulta tener mucho más en común con el Lobo del cuento que con Caperucita. Milli no quiere ayuda, no necesita ser rescatada, y ciertamente está en condiciones de ser ella quien imponga las condiciones al Lobo (ver: ¡No salgas del camino! El Modelo «Caperucita Roja» en el Horror) Entonces, cuando El refugiado de Jane Rice parece dirigirse inexorablemente hacia un final previsible, el menguante suministro de alimentos debido al racionamiento de la guerra, que se describió anteriormente, de repente se convierte en el eje de la trama. Milli no es rescatada a último momento por el Cazador, ni mata al hombre lobo en defensa propia. Eso habría sido indigno de una autora sofisticada como Jane Rice. En cambio, Milli se convierte ella misma en la Cazadora; de hecho, lo ha sido durante todo el relato, y el lector probablemente no lo ha notado. Milli envía a María a visitar a sus familiares y sale al encuentro de su misterioso visitante. Lo encuentra en el jardín y lo invita a dormir en la casa. Lo que sigue son dos páginas, al menos, donde se hace un inventario de sus encantos físicos y se establece que el muchacho es un hombre lobo. De hecho, su nombre es Lupus. En este punto, Jane Rice nos hace creer que Milli no solo es una mujer frívola y egocéntrica, sino ingenua. Las cosas, parece, no terminarán bien para ella. Decidida a seducirlo, Milli se dispone a preparar la cena mientras el muchacho duerme. Al despertar, Lupus sugiere que vean juntos la puesta de sol. Ella arregla su cabello, pero trata de que su amante no se desborde. Entonces, le ofrece uno de sus chocolates rellenos. Lupus no parece demasiado entusiasmado, por lo que Milli le acaricia la cabeza como si estuviera acariciando a un perro y, cuando el muchacho bosteza, deja caer el chocolate en su boca. Sorprendido, el muchacho empieza a transformarse, pero Milli lo apuñala y, en el proceso, lo obiga a tragar el choclate... relleno con un amuleto de plata. Milli es egocéntrica, desde luego; y puede, como lo insinúa su nombre [Cushman], estar acostumbrada a una vida suave. Pero ella no es suave y definitivamente no es estúpida. Siempre supo que el muchacho era un licántropo, y siempre supo que terminaría comiéndoselo. En este sentido, el guiño a El hombre lobo de París (The Werewolf of Paris) de Guy Endore, una de las lecturas de Milli, es un toque realmente agradable. A propósito, Milli cita dos poemas significativos en el relato: *El toque de las campanas anuncian el final del día es la apertura de Elegía escrita en un cementerio de aldea (Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard) de Thomas Gray; y **La luna era un galeón fantasmal pertenece al poema de Alfred Noyes: Los salteadores de caminos (The Highwayman). Por otra parte, El refugiado parece ligeramente influenciado por el relato de hombres lobo: Gabriel Ernesto (Gabriel-Ernest), una historia clásica, oscura y levemente humoristica de Saki, aunque en el cuento de Jane Rice es una mujer quien descubre a este muchacho desnudo al amanecer, y donde el erotismo es más heterosexual y abierto. Jane Rice fue una de las grandes heroínas anónimas de las revistas pulp, como Catherine L. Moore, Margaret St. Clair y Everil Worrell. Su obra aún no ha recibido la atención que merece, de manera tal que es un placer para El Espejo Gótico tratar de enmendar modestamente esa injusticia.

Dirk has lost his wife, Joan, and he is devastated by grief. Joan was a pilot who crashed during a routine flight, and he knows there isn't any hope of her survival because he was talking to her on the radio when she crashed. He knows she went down in the ocean with no land in sight, and he knows the search was futile. But, despite all evidence to the contrary, he still feels like there's a chance she's alive. He feels like there is a compass in his mind telling him precisely where to find her. He hires a plane and two pilots and begins a search of his own. What he finds, however, is beyond anything he could have imagined. There may have been an island near Joan's crash site, and it has a very mysterious reputation among travelers.    Margaret St. Clair's story “The Island of the Hands” was originally published in Weird Tales Magazine in 1952.   Recommended in this episode: Renfield and Star Trek: Picard   UP NEXT: Nadia Bulkin's “Wish  You Were Here”  Buy Toil and Trouble here!

The peculiar quality of deep space is hard to put into words. On earth, however isolated we are, whatever happens to us, we are yet on our home planet. The man afloat on the life raft in the Pacific, delirious with exposure and loneliness, floats nonetheless on an element whose very saltiness relates it to the red sea water in his veins. The flyer forced down in the desert curses the rising sun; but the same sun that sucks water out of his drying tissues is the glorious temporal lord on whose radiation all terrestrial life processes depend. On earth our extremest terrors, our ultimate catastrophes, are yet like the blows of a familiar hand. It is very different in deep space.PERFORMANCES BYDAKOTA SKYE (@DakotasSpookyDecor)DREW BEDOW (@

Welcome to episode three of Hysteria. "Flowering Evil" was writtten by Margaret St. Clair. This episode is performed by Ebonie Butler. Music from SoundStripe.com Hysteria is a new horror fiction podcast by, about, and for women. This episode is rated PG. The role of women in the horror genre has been vastly limited. As we look back on the biggest voices within the history of horror, male names and perspectives dominate the landscape. Women are typically relegated to background characters, set dressing, or pathetic victims. In this new podcast, we only read stories where women are brought to the forefront as main characters or authors. Because nothing is scarier than sexism. Each episode contains a chilling performance of a dark tale. Each story is written by a woman, and some provides a commentary about living as a woman in the early 20th century. Thank you to episode sponsors Tech Liminal, Design and Lockedown SEO, and David Wolfpaw. Please visit HysteriaPod.com for a text transcript of this episode.

Buonasera miei cari e bentornati. Io sono Madame Valover e per la notte di Beltame, 1 maggio 2021, concludiamo il racconto iniziato nella scorsa notte di luna piena con la seconda e ultima parte. Beltane è una festa pagana che fa parte del calendario celtico e della ruota dell'anno. Si celebra tra l'Equinozio di Primavera e il Solstizio d'Estate, intorno ai primi di maggio. Durante questo giorno si dice che i Druidi accendessero dei fuochi e vi passassero attraverso, in segno di purificazione attraverso le fiamme. Beletene significa proprio "fuoco luminoso". Beltane festeggia l'amore, il rincorrersi e il corteggiarsi tra innamorati. La Dea e il Dio si incontrano in questo giorno di giubilanza nella tradizione pagana. E' il simbolo del risveglio primaverile dopo l'immobilità dell'inverno. Tutto rinasce...anche tu...

Margaret St. Clair's story “The Man Who Sold Rope to the Gnoles” is a tale inspired by  the Lord Dunsany story “How Nuth Would Have Practised His Art Upon the Gnoles.” St. Clair's tale is a wonderful update. The gnoles are still horrible creatures of fantasy, but the main character is completely mundane. The hero of the story is Mortensen, a hapless salesman, who only wants to meet his sales quota and maybe get “a special mention at the annual sales-force dinner.” Does it matter that these are dangerous monsters? Not really, because as any good salesman knows, adaptability is key.

Margaret St. Clair's Sign of the Labrys takes place in a future United States of America, though the government seems to have fallen, after a yeast pandemic killed a majority of the population. What is left of the country has gone into a kind of subterranean quarantine, and society is fractured, as people are afraid to be too close to one another, for fear of spreading the germ. The quarantine has gone on for so long, that people have grown accustomed to being alone and now prefer it to any kind of human contact. This is the storyworld that readers are introduced to, as they meet the protagonist, Sam Sewell, a man living and working in underground levels, meant to keep people safe but apart. Imagine his horror and surprise when he finds that someone has invaded his space, leaving messages and clues in his home “pod” and attracting the attention of an FBY agent. His journey to discover who is trying to contact him leads him deeper into the ground, level by level, into a world of danger--and of magic.  Recommended reading: Justina Ireland's Dread Nation, Vivien Chien's Noodleshop series, and Julia Fine's What Should Be Wild

It's the third week in our Winter of Wayback season, and we're diving headfirst into 1953. Our reading this week is a story by Margaret St. Claire, a sci fi and fantasy writer who was quite active in the 1950s, and managed to carve out a space for herself in what was a very male-dominated world of genre fiction.  Also this week, we talk about the critical reception for Arthur Miller's The Crucible, which debuted in 1953. Plus: the many incarnations of the band The Drifters, TV dinners, Scientology's South Jersey roots, and the high-profile divorce of Winthrop Rockefeller.
