They tried Gordon Kent for murder-but who was really responsible? The Sky Was Full of Ships by Theodore Sturgeon, that’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, with at least one lost vintage sci-fi short story in every episode.
We get a lot of comments on our RUclips Channel. This comes to us from HEAVYMETALmovie1981 “MORE scary werewolf stories please!!”
We hear you and we have added Black Hound Of Death by Robert E. Howard to our list of stories to narrate. By the way if you know a scary werewolf vintage science fiction story, please send an email to scott@lostscifi.com. Thanks, HEAVYMETALmovie1981!!
And this from rodneydangerman9616, “I've been a consistent listener for a while now...my thought (because it was requested in the video description) is that it should be one (confounding and quasi-obscure) question per week. I assume it would be easier on y'all (production team, that is) and, perhaps, it would give an ample amount of time for the audience to respond. Just my two cents. Love your work, Scott! You and Ian (from HorrorBabble) are, in my humble opinion, truly two of the best narrators on YT!!!”
Thanks, rodneydangerman9616!! Ian from HorrorBabble is an amazing narrator so to be mentioned with him is a huge compliment.
If you have something to say, we would love to hear it! Comment on our RUclips channel or send us an email, scott@lostscifi.com.
Theodore Sturgeon was born Edward Hamilton Waldo in Staten Island, New York, in 1918. His name was legally changed to Theodore Sturgeon at age eleven after his mother's divorce and subsequent marriage.
Sturgeon's 1953 science fiction novel More Than Human won the 1954 International Fantasy Award as the year's best novel, and the Science Fiction Writers of America ranked "Baby Is Three" number five among the "Greatest Science Fiction Novellas of All Time" up to 1964. Ranked by votes for all of their pre-1965 novellas, Sturgeon was second among authors, behind only Robert Heinlein.
He was good and he was prolific! He wrote almost 200 short stories and the screenplays for two Star Trek episodes, and two of his stories were adapted for The New Twilight Zone.
Today’s story by Sturgeon was in Thrilling Wonder Stories Magazine in June 1947 and can be found on page 55, The Sky Was Full of Ships by Theodore Sturgeon…

Next Week on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, Larry Thomas bought a cuckoo clock for his wife-without knowing the price he would have to pay. Beyond The Door by Philip K. Dick. That’s next week on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.

Thank you Scott.
@thunderace4588 You're very welcome! Thanks for listening!!
When Sturgeon use to tell the story about the radio broadcast of this way back, he said the the line was "the sky is full of shiPPPPPPSSS".
I did not know that, thanks for sharing and thanks for listening!!
Knowledge # thanks
Sunday. I slept in a bit. Didn't get out of bed until 9am. But I've got coffee and Vintage Sci-Fi Audiobooks to start my day. Thanks, Scott.
Thanks Brad!!
Go man go. Love the background history.
@MrScroogedmcduck glad you like it! Thanks for your comment and thanks for listening!!
I regularly listen to this channel and horrorbabble because of the narrator
Ian Gordon Is a treasure for his writing and narration.
@user-hy4ny8uk2m thanks for listening!!
@michaelgreaves2375 agreed! Thanks for listening!!
If this had been written before the wire-recorder was in use, I wonder if the aliens would have been using wax cylinders like those that Erle Stanley Gardner used to dictate his stories :-)
Scott Miller = Legend
You are incredibly kind! Thanks.
You've got the perfect voice for narration
@guysmiley515 thanks for that very nice compliment and thanks for listening!!
Speaking of Theodore Sturgeon, have you done "Microcosmic God"?
@jimpatterson5524 I have not. I don't know if it's in the public domain. Thanks for listening!!
I can agree with the comparison between you & Ian @Horrorbabble.
Wouldn't it be awesome to get permission to record some of the lesser known Harlan Ellison short stories? The estate is releasing Audible collections (frequently & extraordinarily read by Stephen Rudnicki) and it couldn't hurt to ask. I get the feeling they'd at least consider it, given how powerfully you express a story. They're so notoriously aggressive towards copyright infringement, it would be notable just for you to have the rights & approval to record it. I have a feeling that their approval has more to do with quality than (current) audience size, and you have such a high quality narration style. And being someone allowed to record some of his stories would be notable enough to make some stir in classic sci-fi world, which would almost certainly up your traffic all the more.
Thanks for the best bedtime stories.
@evientually thanks for your comment and I appreciate the kind words. The Harlan Ellison estate is indeed very aggressively pursuing those who violate copyright as they should be. The stories that I've seen by Harlan Ellison are produced by one of the biggest companies in the audiobook world. In all cases that I am aware of they purchase exclusive rights to those titles. And I am certain the cost to purchase those rights would be substantial and far above my means. His work is awesome and I'd love to narrate more of his stories but I don't think that's possible at this time. On a positive note there is another Ellison story that is in the public domain and you will be able to hear it in the not too distant future. Thanks for listening!!
@@VintageSciFiAudiobooks Sweet! I'm guessing it's probably "I Have No Mouth, Etc", which is of course _always_ good. It's how I got my no-reading what's-scifi? partner into the early genre artists (he was stuck on Lovecraft, and that's fine but there's _so much more_ !!), then "Along the Scenic Route" & my Mom's favorite (and _my_ intro) "Repent, Harlequin! Etc". I was just thinking it might be cool if they threw a bone to a plucky up & coming voice with the balls to just ask. But things as they are, that's practically an antiquated trope altogether isn't it?
Especially when you're sitting on the short story versions of an '89 Chateau Lafite. All the same, Harlan really was sort of a "Bitch better have my money" writer (and they do some charity work), and "Fuck you, pay me" is a great lesson for any writer to learn, so it makes sense. I really wonder what exactly he would think of the current writers' fights just to be paid _enough_ nevermind paid their worth, and AI writing...I wonder what he would _make_ with the idea.
I always thought old sci-fi never got the respect it deserved. Thanks for the great work you are doing and the great narration. My goal is to listen to every vintage sci-fi story and I am going to buy some merch to support your channel. I would love to hear, "Night of the Storm," by Dean Kontz. I am 52 and I remember reading a comic book version when I was around 12. Thanks for your great stories and please keep them coming! Rickvelvet
@user-gv6mr5mu8f I agree with you about the lack of respect for vintage sci-fi and I appreciate the compliment. After you get your merch we would love to know what you bought and get a picture of you with it. We will keep 'em coming. I don't believe the story you requested is old enough to be in the public domain and that means we can't record it. Sorry about that. Thanks for listening!!
