Pogo Planet
by Donald A. Wollheim
read by Scott Miller
Part of the Lost Sci-Fi series
Pogo Planet by Donald A. Wollheim - Introducing that modest little superman, that shrinking violet of destiny, Ajax Calkins, and a world where you had to hop, in some way, to get where you wanted to go!
As my ship hit the darkness that was the outer atmosphere of Midplanet, I thrilled to the thought that I, Ajax Calkins, had at last achieved my rightful place among the pioneers of space. Even when my ship bounced on the green soil, flew end over end upwards to come down ka-plunk in the wrong side of a gooey thick swamp, I exulted that I was the first in possession of a major planet that had been overlooked by the rest of the interplanetary crowd.
As I picked myself up from the midst of a pile of miscellaneous equipment, hiking ropes, elephant guns, para-rays, spare shoes and cans of Unifood, and rubbed my bruised arms and head, I thought of how many millions would give their all to be in my place.
Midplanet! How the whole system had thrilled when its discovery was finally determined last year! For decades science had known there was a planet between Saturn and Uranus, ever since Pickering had proved the perturbations of those planets' orbits pointed to a body between them. Yet telescopes had always failed to detect it. Few had taken it seriously. Yet, it was there.
It was discovered finally by electromagnetic induction coils at the Mars Prime Observatory. It was rechecked from Flagstaff and searched for by Tycho Eye. The latter could not see it. It was still invisible, a strangely dark world.
It was then that I conceived my great idea. For years I had secretly nourished my grievance against the world into which I found myself born. All the great heroic acts had been done. The major planets pioneered, Gretelspoon had at last opened up Pluto, and there was nothing left for me to do to show that I too was made of godlike stuff. But Midplanet ... there was my chance!

The Plattner Story
by H. G. Wells
read by Scott Miller
Part of the Lost Sci-Fi series
The Plattner Story by H. G. Wells - ...Two of the boys, gesticulating, walked one after the other clean through him! Neither manifested the slightest consciousness of his presence.
We believe that this story, by our well-known author, which was written some years ago, constitutes the forerunner of all later stories in which the Fourth Dimension played a great role. Wells somehow has been captivated by the idea that there is such a thing as a fourth or higher plane. He does not seem to have changed his mind about this, for while the present story of his also brings in, again, a higher plane, supposedly existing alongside of our own. The Plattner Story is an extraordinarily well-written scientifiction tale, and is plausible as well as easily understandable, and will particularly appeal to those whose ideas of the Fourth Dimension are rather hazy.

The Father Thing by Philip K. Dick - Something is wrong with Dad Charlie knows it, but no one believes him. Is it all in his head, or has something terrifying taken his fathers place?
It has been said that Dick believed he was living in two timelines simultaneously, one as himself in 1970s California and another as a persecuted Christian in ancient Rome. These bizarre experiences fueled his paranoia but also deepened the philosophical depth of his later works. The Father Thing is one of his earlier works, published in Fantasy and Science Fiction Magazine in December 1954.

The Colour Out of Space
by H. P. Lovecraft
read by Scott Miller
Part of the Lost Sci-Fi series
The Colour Out of Space by H. P. Lovecraft - In 1927 Amazing Stories had this to say about The Colour Out of Space, "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."
H. P. Lovecrafts The Colour Out of Space is a cosmic horror story about an incomprehensible alien presence. The tale is told by a surveyor investigating the desolate blasted heath near Arkham, Massachusetts, where a meteorite crashed years earlier. The rock released an unnatural, indescribable color, which seeped into the land, contaminating water, plants, animals, and even humans. The Gardner family, living on the affected farm, suffers horrifying transformationsplants grow wildly but inedibly, animals mutate or go mad, and family members succumb to madness and decay. Eventually, the strange color dissipates into the sky, leaving only desolation behind. The story is a chilling depiction of an alien force beyond human understanding and one of Lovecrafts most influential works.
Howard Phillips Lovecraft was known for pioneering cosmic horrora genre emphasizing the insignificance of humanity in an indifferent universe. Born in Providence, Rhode Island, Lovecraft was a sickly and reclusive child, heavily influenced by classical literature, science, and the works of Edgar Allan Poe and Lord Dunsany.
Despite financial struggles and limited literary success during his lifetime, Lovecraft created the Cthulhu Mythos. His most famous works include The Call of Cthulhu, At the Mountains of Madness, and The Shadow over Innsmouth.
Though he died in poverty at age 46, his work gained widespread recognition posthumously, shaping modern horror fiction and pop culture.

Referent
by Ray Bradbury
read by Scott Miller
Part of the Lost Sci-Fi series
Referent by Ray Bradbury - The Life of a child genius was no fun, but Roby couldn't escape it–until a falling star taught him how to rebel!
Roby Morrison fidgeted. Walking in the tropical heat he heard the wet thunder of waves on the shore. There was a green silence on Orthopedic Island.
It was the year 1997, but Roby did not care.
All around him was the garden where he prowled, all ten years of him. This was Meditation Hour. Beyond the garden wall, to the north, were the High I.Q. Cubicles where he and the other boys slept in special beds. With morning they popped up like bottle-corks, dashed into showers, gulped food, and were sucked down vacuum-tubes half across the island to Semantics School. Then to Physiology. After Physiology he was blown back underground and released through a seal in the great garden wall to spend this silly hour of meditative frustration, as prescribed by the island Psychologists.
Roby had his opinion of it. "Damned silly."
Today, he was in furious rebellion. He glared at the sea, wishing he had the sea's freedom to come and go. His eyes were dark, his cheeks flushed, his small hands twitched nervously.
Somewhere in the garden a chime vibrated softly. Fifteen more minutes of meditation. Huh! And then to the Robot Commissary to stuff his dead hunger as taxidermists stuff birds.

Mr. Meek-Musketeer
by Clifford D. Simak

Part of the Lost Sci-Fi series
Mr. MeekMusketeer by Clifford D. Simak - Adventure flamed in Mr. Meek's timorous heart, the surge of battle and singing blades. And so, with a rocket-ship for his steed and a ray-gun for his sword, he sallied forth ... carrying cavalier justice to the resentful shining stars.
Now that he'd done it, Oliver Meek found the thing he'd done hard to explain.
Under the calm, inquiring eyes of Mr. Richard Belmont, president of Lunar Exports, Inc., he stammered a little before he could get started.
"For years," he finally said, "I've been planning a trip...."
"But, Oliver," said Belmont, "we would give you a leave of absence. You'll be back. There's no reason to resign."
Oliver Meek shuffled his feet and looked uncomfortable, a little guilty.
"Maybe I won't be back," he declared. "You see, it isn't just an ordinary trip. It may take a long, long time. Something might happen. I'm going out to see the Solar System."
Belmont laughed lightly, reared back in his chair, matching fingertips. "Oh, yes. One of the tours. Nothing dangerous about them. Nothing at all. You needn't worry about that. I went on one a couple of years ago. Mighty interesting...."
"Not one of the tours," interrupted Meek. "Not for me. I have a ship of my own."
Belmont thumped forward in his chair, looking almost startled.
"A ship of your own!"
"Yes, sir," Oliver admitted, squirming uncomfortably. "Over thirty years I've saved for it ... for it and the other things I'll need. It sort of got to be ... well, an obsession, you might say."
"I see," said Belmont. "You planned it."
"Yes, sir, I planned it."
Which was a masterpiece of understatement.

Other men before him had gone out into the far, dark places. Three previous expeditions had gone out and vanished completely. Then theVenture IVwent out and out and out countless miles and light-years and whatever else it isand out there in the lonely darkness something happened. Nobody knew exactly what happened, but there was a lot of guessing. Only one man came back. Braun. And there was talk....
Tending bar anywhere is better, they say, than an academic degree in psychology. Tending bar on one of the way stations to the stars you see peoplemost of them humanas they really are, and in all stages of emotion. You see them coming and going, and a few already gone. By little signs, you can tell a lot about them, and make a guess at what is wrong with the wrong ones.
There was Braun.
Nobody said anything, at first.
Braun watched them, a humorous half-defiant glint in his eye. But there was pain in him, in his voice as he spoke.
"What's the matter? Am I poison, or something?"
Somebody said it, then. In a stage whisper. "I had friends on theVenture IV."
"So did I," Braun answered quickly. "A lot of friends. So before somebody works up nerve to ask, I don't know."
"Don't know?" a man named Cutter pursued the point coldly. "You were there!..."
"I was there," admitted Braun. "I still say it. I don't know what happened to anybody. I've told the authorities that over and over. I've told anybody who'd listen. You don't have to believe me. I don't give a"

Fritz Leiber (19101992) was an American writer and a master of science fiction, fantasy, and horror.

Parking Unlimited
by Noel Loomis
read by Scott Miller
Part of the Lost Sci-Fi series
Parking Unlimited by Noel Loomis - It was a wonderful plan, a boon to humanity. And solving the parking problem would make a fortune for Slim and me. But when the secret got out ...
Noel Loomis was born in Wakita, Oklahoma Territory in 1905, two years before Oklahoma became a state. And if Wakita Oklahoma rings a bell it might be because it was one of the filming locations for the motion picture blockbuster Twister. This tiny town near the Oklahoma border with Kansas had less than 400 people when Loomis was born and only around 300 today.
Although he wrote science fiction Loomis is best known for his Westerns. He won the Spur award for Best Western Novel in 1958 for Short Cut to Red River. He won the award again the next year for a short story, Grandfather Out of the Past.
Noel Loomis penned two science fiction novels and about 30 science fiction short stories.

Captain Midas
by Alfred Coppel
read by Scott Miller
Part of the Lost Sci-Fi series
Captain Midas by Alfred Coppel - The captain of the Martian Maid stared avidly at the torn derelict floating against the velvet void. Here was treasure beyond his wildest dreams! How could he know his dreams should have been nightmares?
Gold! A magic word, even today, isn't it? Lust and gold ... they go hand in hand. Like the horsemen of the Apocalypse. And, of course, there's another word needed to make up the trilogy. You don't get any thing for nothing. So add this: Cost. Or you might call it pain, sorrow, agony. Call it what you like. It's what you pay for great treasure....
These things were true when fabled Jason sailed the Argo beyond Colchis seeking the Fleece. They were true when men sailed the southern oceans in wooden ships. And the conquest of space hasn't changed us a bit. We're still a greedy lot....
I'm a queer one to be saying these things, but then, who has more right? Look at me. My hair is gray and my face ... my face is a mask. The flesh hangs on my bones like a yellow cloth on a rickety frame. I am old, old. And I wait here on my hospital cotwait for the weight of years I never lived to drag me under and let me forget the awful things my eyes have seen.
I'm poor, too, or else I wouldn't be here in this place of dying for old spacemen. I haven't a dime except for the pittance the Holcomb Foundation calls a spaceman's pension. Yet I had millions in my hands. Treasure beyond your wildest dreams! Cursed treasure....
