Summary
A discovery meant for museums turns deadly when something ancient refuses to stay buried and begins hunting the living. Trapped far from Earth, the crew must decide whether escape is still possible—or if they’ve already carried the danger home with them. The Moon Devils by John Wyndham. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast. This is only the second story written by John Wyndham on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast. The first, Never on Mars. Wyndham, whose real name was John Wyndham Parkes Lucas Beynon Harris, is best known for The Day of the Triffids written in 1951, and filmed in 1962, and The Midwich Cuckoos which was written in 1957 and filmed in 1960 as Village of the Damned. Some authors have a style that makes their stories effortless to bring to life through narration. John Wyndham is one of them. His pacing, atmosphere, and sense of tension make his work incredibly engaging and enjoyable to read aloud, and there will definitely be more John Wyndham stories on the podcast in the future. Pick up a copy of Wonder Stories published in April 1934 and you will see our story on the cover. The actual story can be found on page 968, The Moon Devils by John Wyndham… Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, Beneath Castle Kralitz, a family ritual waits in darkness for the next heir to descend the hidden stairway and take his place among the dead. Franz Kralitz enters expecting a secret and discovers a fate that has been waiting for him since birth. The Secret of Kralitz by Henry Kuttner. 👉 💎 Lost Sci-Fi Premium - https://lostscifi.supercast.com/ ☕ Buy Me a Coffee - https://lostscifi.com/coffee =========================== 🎧 Newsletter - https://lostscifi.com/free/ Facebook - https://lostscifi.com/facebook YouTube - https://lostscifi.com/youtube X - http://Lostscifi.com/x Instagram - https:…
