Summary
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. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast. Henry Kuttner was one of the most prolific writers in the early days of science fiction. I stopped counting after around 200 short stories, and what makes it all the more amazing is that he did it in just 21 years. Kuttner was only 42 when he died of a heart attack in 1958. This was only his fourth published story which can be found in Weird Tales magazine in October 1936 on page 361, The Secret of Kralitz by Henry Kuttner… Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, Two exhausted spacemen gamble their lives on an impossible return from Venus while an isolated outpost waits for rescue that may never come. As Earth races closer by the second, one reckless landing idea stands between them and a fireball over the Pacific.
