Add some behaviorally troubled children imagining bloodthirsty lions into the mix, and you have the setup for Ray Bradbury's The Veldt.

BROOKLYN WRITER WINS GRAND PRIZE AT HOLLYWOOD AWARDS EVENT Featured in New Release HOLLYWOOD - Brooklyn, New York writer Randyn Bartholomew is the Grand Prize Winner in the L. Ron Hubbard Writers of the Future Contest earning him the Golden Pen Award trophy and a $5,000 cash prize. His winning story, "Ascii," is published in the international bestselling anthology, L. Ron Hubbard Presents Writers of the Future Volume 41 which will be officially released on April 22nd. Mr. Bartholomew was honored along with the other winners in the Writers and Illustrators of the Future Contests on April 10th at the Taglyan Complex in Hollywood, California. Born in New York state on pi day, Randyn grew up in the nearby New Jersey towns of Maplewood and Summit. Although majoring in math at Cornell, he's since switched gears to become a Brooklyn-based freelance writer of science journalism, ghost writing, copywriting, and, whenever possible, fiction. His articles have appeared in Scientific American, Salon, The Washington Post Magazine, among others. He enjoys running in Prospect Park, reading old books and new, and finding free lectures to attend. While he reads eclectically, his main love is science fiction. When people frown at this preference (or, much worse, smile politely) he calls in the cavalry and reminds himself of the Ray Bradbury quote, “I have never listened to anyone who criticized my taste in space travel, sideshows or gorillas. When this occurs, I pack up my dinosaurs and leave the room.” He's been using a flip phone for the last four years. The Contest, one of the most prestigious writing and illustrating competitions in the world, is currently in its 42nd year and is judged by some of the premier names in speculative fiction. WASHINGTON ARTIST HONORED AT HOLLYWOOD AWARDS GALA Featured in New Release HOLLYWOOD - Washington, Utah artist Ms. Tremani Sutcliffe is a winner in the L. Ron Hubbard Illustrators of the Future Contest and was honored along with ten other artists and twelve writers at the Taglyan Complex in Hollywood, California on April 10th. Her art is published along with the other writers' and illustrators' stories and art in the international bestselling anthology, L. Ron Hubbard Presents Writers of the Future Volume 41 which will be officially released on April 22nd 2025. Tremani Sutcliffe, born in 1990 in Provo, Utah, spent her early years exploring the rugged landscapes of middle-of-nowhere Arizona, where hiking in desert mountains and catching rattlesnakes ignited her adventurous spirit. Her passion for art stemmed from her love of books, and the fantastical covers that inspired her imagination. In true bookworm fashion, her artistic journey began at the local library, where she immersed herself in art instruction books, laying the foundation for her artistic journey. Through daily practice, relentless pursuit of new skills, and seeking mentorship from established artists, her commitment to learning new methods has continuously expanded her artistic repertoire. Tremani views art as a fusion of technique and creativity that brings beauty and meaning to life. After spending most of her young life drawing and painting with watercolors, she expanded her skillset to include oils. Although she also began working with acrylics, she quickly decided they must have been invented by an angry dude with horns and a pitchfork for the sole purpose of making her life miserable….and decided to develop her digital painting skills instead. The Illustrators of the Future Contest judges include, Bob Eggleton (11 Chesley Awards and 9 Hugo Awards), Larry Elmore (Dungeons & Dragons book covers), Echo Chernik (graphic designs for major corporations including Celestial Seasonings tea packaging), Rob Prior (art for Spawn, Heavy Metal comics and Buffy the Vampire Slayer), Ciruelo (Eragon Coloring Book).

Capítulo 266 de este podcast literalmente literario, en el que te vuelvo a traer a un genio de la literatura que ya ha pasado por este programa en varias ocasiones. Te dejo con el gran Ray Bradbury. Narrado por Xavi Villanueva !Nuevo episodio! Ya puedes disfrutar de Caleidoscopio. RAY BRADBURY en ABISMOfm.
This stylized post-apocalyptic thriller is a unique example of a mainstream Hollywood blockbuster with overtly Christian themes, even if it stops just short of a true Christian message. Directed by the Hughes Brothers (MENACE II SOCIETY, DEAD PRESIDENTS, FROM HELL) and starring beloved leading man Denzel Washington, THE BOOK OF ELI depicts the Bible as a source of tremendous power in a fallen world. Eli (Denzel Washington) is a survivor of a nuclear holocaust, wandering westward on a mysterious mission with few possessions except for a large book that he treasures. When Eli crosses paths with local warlord Carnegie (Gary Oldman), Carnegie suspects that Eli's book may be the Bible, which Carnegie himself has been seeking because he believes reading it will give him the power to control large groups of people. Carnegie is perhaps a metaphor for hypocritical conmen religious leaders who use Christianity as a way to acquire power and money, whereas Eli could represent Christ or even just a true honest believer who has made it his mission to spread faith into the world. This metaphor becomes even more clear when Eli's quest is revealed to be delivery of the Bible to an enclave of secret archivists who will reprint and preserve it forever. The authenticity of Eli's faith becomes even more clear when Carnegie does steal the Bible, only to be upset to find it is written in Braille, revealing Eli to have been blind the whole time. Despite being mortally wounded by Carnegie, Eli makes it to the archivists in time to speak the entire Bible to them as an oral tradition, ensuring its preservation. In the final scene of the movie, we see the archivists putting the newly reprinted Bible on a shelf alongside the Torah and the Quran. This ending, which is obviously inspired by the novel FAHRENHEIT 451 by Ray Bradbury, shows that THE BOOK OF ELI is not a truly Christian genre film — few faith-based films would equate the Bible and the Quran. To view THE BOOK OF ELI through the lens of faith-based film criticism is to see it as a religious cop out; hinting that the Bible is the source of spiritual truth but ultimately dismissing it as “just another book on a shelf.” View our full episode list and subscribe to any of our public feeds: http://boysbiblestudy.com Unlock 2+ bonus episodes per month: http://patreon.com/boysbiblestudy Subscribe to our Twitch for livestreams: http://twitch.tv/boysbiblestudy Follow us on Instagram: http://instagram.com/boysbiblestudy Follow us on Twitter: http://twitter.com/boysbiblestudy
Hoy nos adentramos en el vasto y silencioso espacio para recuperar este fantástico "Calidoscopio", un relato de Ray Bradbury publicado en 1949. La historia comienza con la explosión de una nave espacial, dispersando a su tripulación en distintas direcciones por el vacío del cosmos. Mientras flotan hacia destinos desconocidos, los astronautas mantienen contacto por radio, compartiendo reflexiones sobre sus vidas, miedos y arrepentimientos. A través de estas conversaciones, Bradbury nos invita a contemplar la fragilidad de la existencia humana y la importancia de encontrar significado incluso en los momentos más oscuros.

Finding a cause worth dying for is no great trick—the Universe is full of them. Finding one worth living for is the genuine problem! Orphans of the Void by Michael Shaara. That's next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.How many vintage science fiction authors won a Pulitzer Prize? Ray Bradbury never won a Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, but received a Pulitzer Special Citation in 2007 for his impact on literature. The answer is three. Booth Tarkington, MacKinlay Kantor and Michael Shaara. Booth Tarkington is one of only four novelists to win the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction more than once, along with William Faulkner, John Updike, and Colson Whitehead. Tarkington wrote only three short sci-fi stories. MacKinlay Kantor wrote eight short sci-fi stories and one science fiction novel If the South Had Won the Civil War released in 1961.Michael Shaara is the most well known of the three. Shaara was born in Jersey City, New Jersey in 1928. Before he began selling sci-fi for 2 cents a word in the 1950s he was a boxer and a police officer. He won his Pulitzer for his novel about the Battle of Gettysburg, The Killer Angels which won the award in 1975, and was showcased on the big screen in the 1993 movie Gettysburg starring Tom Berenger and Martin Sheen.Shaara also wrote the 1991 novel For Love of the Game which was made into the 1999 film with the same name starring Kevin Costner and Kelly Preston. But it all began back in 1952. He wrote two dozen short sci-fi stories and this was his first. From Galaxy Science Fiction in June 1952, we will discover this tale of artificial intelligence, and the fate of a forgotten world on page 78, Orphans of the Void by Michael Shaara...Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, Renwick, with too much time on his hands, was bored.

Welcome to Campfire Classics, a Literary Comedy Podcast!! Have you ever been halfway through an entertaining piece of media, whether a movie, or a story, or say...a podcast episode... and suddenly found yourself thinking, "Gee, is this a little culturally insensitive?" Well, that's how I felt listening to Ken's accent work during this week's story. To be clear, there is nothing racist about the story. It's just, sometimes an accent is so bad it's offensive... Anyway, this week, Ken gets to read "The Monster Maker" by Ray Bradbury. It's a wild adventure story reminiscent of some TTRPGs a certain member of this show's production staff has played recently. "The Monster Maker" was published 1944 in Planet Stories. Extensive research has found no evidence of an active copyright. Email us at 5050artsproduction@gmail.com. Remember to tell five friends to check out Campfire Classics. Like, subscribe, leave a review. Now sit back, light a fire (or even a candle), grab a drink, and enjoy.
Are dragons pure fantasy, or do real-world creatures—from dinosaurs to bombardier beetles—hold the secrets to their legendary traits? Or could actual dragons have actually existed?IN THIS EPISODE: Is it possible dragons are… or at least were… real? Science takes a look at the possibility. (Are Dragons Real?) *** In a thick, dark forest in Colorado is a foreboding house which is considered one of the most haunted places in the U.S. (Haunted House In The Black Forest) *** A woman has the gift of speaking with and interacting with those who have passed on… but what began as a gift, evolved into a curse. (The Man Is Back) *** Weirdo family member Ezra tells us of his personal encounter with a black-eyed child. (An Angel Saved Me From a Black Eyed Kid) *** Pukwudgies were known to Native Americans, who gave them a wide berth. And if you see one, it's best to stay away. (What is a Pukwudgie?) *** What began as a practical joke soon became one of the greatest hoaxes in American history – it's the true story of the Cardiff Giant. (The Petrified Man) *** Jody smiled at the children playing in her backyard. She didn't know them, they were probably the neighbors' kids. At least that's what she thought at first until she began to notice something disturbing about those children. (Phantom Children of Guilford) *** Dealing with the paranormal is already unsettling. What if you were to learn that the supernatural has actually been feeding on you? (Supernatural Feedings) *** Newlywed couples planning a trip to Venice envision romantic walkways and Renaissance art. What they don't expect to find is an island that is illegal to set foot on… and for good reason. (Black Plague Island) *** Weirdo family member Ber Bella shares an experience her grandmother had on an icy road. (Angel On Black Ice) *** Sometimes a prisoner is let free, with experts of the opinion he has been completely rehabilitated. Sometimes they are right. Often they are wrong.

This Sunday on Vintage Classic Radio's "Sunday Night Playhouse" we delve into the chilling world of Ray Bradbury's "Fahrenheit 451", brought to life in a 1971 CBC Radio adaptation. This story, set in a dystopian future where books are banned and 'firemen' burn any found, casts a long shadow over contemporary concerns of rising fascism and the suppression of free thought. The narrative's poignant exploration of censorship and the destruction of knowledge serves as a stark warning about the fragility of democracy. Featuring Neil Daynard as Montag, the fireman torn between duty and enlightenment, and Ellen Scarfe as the fire captain, this production also includes notable performances by Linda Sorensen, Sharon Kirk, Peter Howard, Dorothy Davies, Merv Camponi, Derek Ralston and Annie Scarfe. Adapted by Otto Lowry and produced by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation in Vancouver, this episode is a compelling reminder of the power of literature and the dangers of authoritarianism. Join us to experience this powerful drama and its critical message for our times, here on Vintage Classic Radio.
Matt Crawford speaks with author Don Johnston about his book, By Means of Peace: A Novel. In a world teetering on the brink of chaos, one man's promise of peace becomes humanity's greatest threat. Reuben Rogov, a charismatic third-party President, emerges as a beacon of hope in troubled times. He brokers peace in the Middle East, faces down global superpowers, and conquers both the border crisis and a deadly pandemic. As the world hails him a sociopolitical messiah, Rogov ascends to unparalleled power–but at what cost? Darien and Marisa, a young couple from Houston, find themselves caught in the crosshairs of a rapidly changing political landscape. As Marisa is drawn into the heart of the new world order in Washington, their relationship is tested by distance, loyalty, and mounting suspicions about the true nature of Rogov's regime. Don Johnston's gripping narrative serves as a stark warning about the potential consequences of unchecked power and the seductive allure of false peace, all the while keeping pages turning like a classic by Philip K. Dick or Ray Bradbury. Kirkus Reviews hails it as “A chilling, futuristic tale of freedom lost.” Don't miss this thought-provoking thriller that will leave you pondering long after you've turned the last page.

The title speaks volumes this week. It's a mission statement. Kirsty Logan is the master of certain kind of edgy, on-the-margins fiction, Queer in every meaning of the word. She can be witchy and folkloric, or contemporary and cutting edge – and all of that range is showcased in her new collection, No & Other Love Stories. We talk about female desire and monstrous fantasy, formal experimentation and the personal logic of stories…and some reassuringly unsettling focus on the erotics of human flesh and menstruation. Don't say we shy away here at Talking Scared. Enjoy! Other books mentioned: Things We Say in the Dark (2019), by Kirsty Logan The Unfamiliar: A Queer Motherhood Memoir (2023), by Kirsty Logan “Skeleton,” by Ray Bradbury (1945), by Ray Bradbury Carrion Crow (2025), by Heather Parry “Tiptoe,” in Not a Speck of Light (2024), by Laird Barron Support Talking Scared on Patreon Check out the Talking Scared Merch line – at VoidMerch Come talk books on Twitter @talkscaredpod, on Instagram, or email direct to talkingscaredpod@gmail.com Learn more about your ad choices.

Kelly Perkins was summoned to Mars to help save the dying colony. He set about winning the hearts and minds of the people tasked with maintaining and improving me, MARTI (Mars Artificial Recurrent Technology interface), by giving away 100 tickets to Earth and back during a 100-day work crunch. He encouraged everyone to participate by engaging with me in new and unique ways in an effort to get me to think differently. Many chose to share their music and stories with me, which awakened dormant subroutines that once belonged to my sister AI, LUCI. LUCI created several problems for the colony, including opening doors to the hostile Mars environment and suggesting we build a reactor in the middle of the park. Kelly was able to convince LUCI to reintegrate herself back into my programming. I hope it was the right decision. “What's the use of looking at Mars through a telescope, sitting on panels, writing books, if it isn't to guarantee, not just the survival of mankind, but mankind surviving forever!” ― Ray Bradbury, Mars and the Mind of Man The TTRPG Mars Colony was written by Tim C. Koppang and is designed for two players. One takes on the role of the colony's appointed “savior”—named Kelly Perkins—while the other plays the Governor, responsible for all the various problems that are plaguing the citizens of Mars. As the game progresses, the savior faces a constant struggle between competence and failure, honesty and deception. The show Mars Colony is a fully produced actual play podcast following tech billionaire Kelly Perkins as he is summoned to Mars in an effort to save the failing colony. The series explores how the unyielding demands of capitalism combined with the narcissism of silicon valley put humanity on a path to the red planet long before we were ready. GET THE GAME!

Publicado originalmente en abril de 1951, "Hijo de Sangre" (también conocido como "Blood Son" o "Drink My Blood") nos presenta la perturbadora historia de Jules, un niño peculiar que desde su nacimiento muestra una fascinación insaciable por la sangre y la muerte. A medida que crece, su obsesión por los vampiros se intensifica, llevándolo a desear convertirse en uno de ellos. Richard Matheson (1926-2013) es considerado uno de los autores más influyentes del siglo XX, elogiado por figuras como Ray Bradbury y Stephen King. Su prolífica carrera abarcó la ciencia ficción, el terror, la fantasía y el western, destacando también como guionista en series emblemáticas como "The Twilight Zone", "Star Trek" y "The Alfred Hitchcock Hour". Entre sus obras más reconocidas se encuentra "Soy leyenda", que ha sido adaptada al cine en varias ocasiones.

The name Ray Bradbury immediately brings to mind such fictional tales – classics, many of them… some of which I've narrated here in the podcast such as “The Jar”, “Skeleton”, and a disturbing one I recently posted here called “The Small Assassin.” But as good as Bradbury was at writing about the paranormal, he could also write comedy – and in tonight's story he combines the two. “Exorcism” is a fun short tale about a nosy housewife who suspects an older woman in town is studying to become a witch… and decides to confront the old lady to voice her disapproval.
