Notable examples of these pulp fiction magazines include Argosy, Blue Book Magazine, Adventure, Detective Story Magazine, Weird Tales, and Astounding Stories.

This short story appeared in the March 1936 issue of Weird Tales. ----- Henry Kuttner (April 7, 1915, Los Angeles, California – February 3, 1958, Los Angeles, California) was an American author of science fiction, fantasy and horror. He contributed several stories to Lovecraft’s Cthulu Mythos, adding a few lesser-known deities to the Mythos pantheon. Kuttner wrote under a plethora of pseudonyms which many believe prevented him from garnering the fame that he should have had. ----- If there's a story you'd like me to narrate, please let me know at goldenagefiction@proton.me . ----- Music : \"Mesmerizing Galaxy\" Kevin MacLeod ( incompetech.com ).
