VYS0062 | Rabbit Trap: Sounds Like a Spell - Vayse to Face with Bryn Chainey - Show Notes In 2025 an independent film was released that blew the minds of experiencers, occult communities and connoisseur's of Weird Stuff alike - that film was Rabbit Trap, a darkly melancholic and hauntingly beautiful meditation on love, trauma and the power of the natural world, both discovered and undiscovered, to brutalise and heal in even measure, with equal ferocity and sometimes even at the same time. The man who write and directed Rabbit Trap was Bryn Chainey and in this episode he talks to Vayse. Bryn guides Hine and Buckley on a journey through the film making process, what inspired him to make this gorgeous and deeply weird film, how he made it look so good, how he made it sound so good, how he got such incredible performances from the the three lead actors and what it means to make a film with heart. And then on slightly more familiar ground for Vayse listeners Bryn talks about what it means to him to be "weird", how fantasy can provide an from reality but can also show a way to see the world more clearly, the power of the genus loci, how music is magic... and why one of his greatest fears is to have "Happy Birthday" sung at him...

Send us Fan MailIn this episode, Virgil and Bob discuss Sacheverell, originally published in The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction, March 1964.If you want a refresher, you can listen to the story and our conversation with Ryan Sprinkle.https://youtu.be/NzyRt4Z3Zbo?si=5s39FQGpHyx2h5gv Episode Summary: Virgil and Bob dive into one of Avram Davidson's wonderfully strange and darkly funny tales, where appearances, assumptions, and human nature all get turned upside down. Sacheverell mixes absurdity, social commentary, and Davidson's trademark oddness into a story that starts with a mysterious figure in a room and unfolds into something far stranger than expected. Along the way, expect discussion about fear, prejudice, manipulation, who the real "beast" might be, and how Davidson somehow manages to make readers laugh while making them slightly uncomfortable at the same time. Also likely: detours into Davidson himself and appreciation for stories that become weirder the longer you think about them. Hashtags: #Sacheverell #AvramDavidson #FantasyAndScienceFiction #FandSF #WeirdFiction #ClassicFantasy #SpeculativeFiction #BookPodcast #FantasyPodcast #ScienceFiction #LiteraryPodcast #ShortStories #CultFiction #FantasyReaders #BobAndVirgil #RyanSprinkle #VintageFantasy #BookDiscussion #SurrealFiction #LiteraryFantasy

Co ciekawego można znaleźć w włoskiej fantastyce? Natalia Miscioscia wskazuje folklor regionalny, legendy, dialekty i historie alternatywne. Nasza gościni jest najlepszą osobą, która może o tym opowiedzieć, bowiem mieszka we Włoszech, gdzie przekłada tamtejszą literaturę grozy i fantastykę.Jak mieszkanie za granicą wpływa na pracę tłumaczki? „Zdarza mi się wymyślać słowa po polsku, które nie istnieją” - mówi nasza gościnni, choć przyznaje, że ze swojego miejsca zamieszkania czerpie raczej korzyści. Porozmawialiśmy także o tym, dlaczego warto poszerzać ofertę wydawniczą światowej literatury gatunkowej o nowe –  w tym te słabiej obecne – języki. Natalia jest tłumaczką i popularyzatorką włoskiej fantastyki i aktywną członkinią Stowarzyszenia Tłumaczy Literatury. Realizowane w ramach projektu Archipelagos finansowanego przez Unię Europejską.

Send us Fan MailIn this episode, Virgil and Bob discuss The Hills Behind Hollywood High, originally published in The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction (April 1983), written by Grania Davis and Avram Davidson. If you want a refresher, you can listen to the story and our conversation with Scott Bradfield: thttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KUY9iRDtaIk Episode Summary: What happens when old Hollywood dreams, strange transformations, satire, and pure absurdity collide? Virgil and Bob wander into the bizarre hills behind Hollywood High, where ordinary teenagers, beauty standards, movie culture, and Davidson-style weirdness crash together in ways only Grania Davis and Avram Davidson could imagine. Expect discussion about Hollywood illusions, identity, transformation, the strange price of fitting in, and why some of the funniest stories can also be deeply unsettling. Along the way, they'll probably take a few side roads through old Los Angeles, forgotten movie culture, and the delightfully odd corners where fantasy and satire overlap. #FantasyLiterature #AvramDavidson #GraniaDavis #hollywoodhighlights #FantasyAndScienceFiction #bookpodcast #classicfantasy #sciencefiction #weirdfiction #literarypodcast #OldHollywood #speculativefiction #fantasyreaders #podcastepisode

This is exactly the kind of philosophical sci-fi we love - something new, something fresh, and something that will make you think. We wish the second half had been as good as the premise, but there's still no doubt this is one we'll be thinking about for years to come (and weirdly it already feels like we've been thinking about it for years).  If you've ever fallen down an SCP Foundation wiki rabbit hole, you know the vibe, but qntm takes it to a whole new level of existential dread. This isn't your typical alien invasion story; it's a masterclass in cosmic horror where the monster isn't just invisible—it's un-rememberable. We break down the terrifying logic of antimemes and how qntm manages to build a high-stakes thriller around a conflict that nobody even knows is happening.  For fans of weird fiction and high-concept science fiction, this book is essential reading. It sits in that sweet spot between the psychological puzzles of Blindsight, the bureaucratic nightmare of Control, and the drug-fueled confusion of A Scanner Darkly. Whether you're a long-time follower of SCP Foundation lore or a newcomer looking for the next mind-bending book recommendation, we explore why There Is No Antimemetics Division is a landmark in modern internet-born literature and why its themes of memory loss and the power of ideas resonate so deeply today.  If you want to learn more about the real world organization trying to stop memes from destroying the world, check out Cause Amp, Brent's new project to combat disinformation online:  https://causeamp.org/ to learn more and get the browser extension Send Brent an email to learn more or volunteer: info@causeamp.org As always, no spoilers until the end when we give a heads up before getting into the full plot discussion.

Send us a textPerformed by David Pickering.  @davidpickering8483 Set in Avram Davidson's sly, Mitteleuropean corner of the map, this stand-alone performance brings Doctor Eszterhazy to life as he follows a trail from a humble sewing box to lurlies on the Vlox-Minor and a mystery tangled up with folklore, industry, and an undine's old grief. David Pickering's rich narration highlights Davidson's humor, history-deep worldbuilding, and the story's gentle twist on the “occult detective” tradition—no gore, just genius. Settle in for steam runabouts, button-makers, buckwheat anxieties, and Paracelsian whispers. Hashtags: #AvramDavidson #DoctorEszterhazy #OccultDetective #weirdfiction #historicalfantasy #speculativefiction #audiofiction #classicsfeature #fantasymystery #shortstory @LocusMagazine ​

This episode, we welcome to the podcast, James Machin, to talk about the new edition of The Stark Munro Letters (1895) he has edited for Edinburgh University Press. About James Machin James is a writer, researcher, and editor, whose recent books include the Edinburgh Edition of the Works of Arthur Conan Doyle's version of The Stark Munro Letters (2024) and The Strange Stories of John Buchan for British Library Publishing (2025). He edited Faunus, the journal of The Friends of Arthur Machen, for over ten years, and has taught at Birkbeck (University of London), the Royal College of Art, and the University of Bedfordshire. He has recently commenced work on the Edinburgh Edition of Round the Fire Stories. The Stark Munro Letters (Edinburgh University Press, 2025) The first new edition of The Stark Munro Letters since the early 1980s Contains detailed introduction and scholarly apparatus Extensive notes explore the historical and biographical references Appendixes that collect original transcriptions of previously inaccessible archival material Ideal for students and scholars interested in Arthur Conan Doyle, medical fiction, popular fiction, autobiographical fiction, and epistolary fiction This is the first scholarly edition of Arthur Conan Doyle's epistolary novel, originally serialised in the Idler, 1894–95, and long out of print. With its first-hand testimony of the life of a doctor at the outset of his career in the late nineteenth century, The Stark Munro Letters will appeal to anyone with an interest in medical history. It is based on his experiences during the eight years he spent as a General Practitioner, before becoming a professional author in 1890. By some way the most autobiographical of Conan Doyle's novels—written at the height of Holmes's popularity—it is also the most personal in terms of presenting his worldview during his formative years, including ruminations on moral philosophy, religion, science, and evolutionary theory. Moreover, it is entertaining and incredibly vivid—a contemporary critic described the mercurial Cullingworth as ‘one of the finest characters Dr. Doyle has yet drawn'.

In 1927 Amazing Stories had this to say about our next episode, We could wax rhapsodical in our praise, as the story is one of the finest pieces of literature it has been our good fortune to read. The theme is original, and yet fantastic enough to make it rise head and shoulders above many contemporary scientifiction stories. You will not regret having read this marvelous tale. The Colour Out of Space by H. P. Lovecraft. That's next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.We appreciate your 5-star ratings and reviews on Apple Podcasts! If you haven't left one yet, we'd really appreciate it. Plus, you can leave a review on Apple Podcasts in your country, even if you usually listen elsewhere. This 5-star review was posted by Doctorwoo on Apple Podcasts Canada, “Bingeable Classic Sci-Fi. Wow. Just wow! I have put all my other extensive podcast listening on hold, and I'm listening only to past episodes of The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast. Thanks to Scott for accompanying me on my winter runs, weight lifting sessions, and chores around the house. Scott's selection of stories is right on the money, and his voice and characterizations are the work of a master. Thank You!” Thank you Doctorwoo!! When we launched The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, our goal was to spotlight truly forgotten science fiction short stories—many of which had never been narrated before. But we've been listening to you, and your requests have taken us in unexpected directions. H. P. Lovecraft's stories have been recorded many times, so we hadn't planned to include them. However, your enthusiasm made us rethink that decision, and now we realize this is a story we should have shared long ago. So here it is—thanks to you!From the September 1927 issue of Amazing Stories, our eerie tale can be found on page 556, The Colour Out of Space by H. P. Lovecraft…Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, What if you had the power to change reality with a single thought?
