About this episode

Werewolves are supposed to haunt lonely, back-country roads. That seems a little silly, when you consider that most beasts of prey go where the game is thickest. Now at night, in the larger cities… The Night Shift by Frank M. Robinson, that’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, with at least one lost vintage sci-fi short story in every episode.

Today’s story can be found in the very first issue of Fantasy Fiction Magazine in February 1953. There were only 4 issues of the magazine before it went out of business, all of them in 1953. Turn to page 117 for The Night Shift by Frank M. Robinson…

 

Tomorrow on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, we wrap up a story a day in October with the oldest story we’ve ever narrated, by far, from 1833, 190 years ago. Would you choose to live forever if you could? What would it be like to outlive all your friends and family, including your spouse? The Mortal Immortal written by Mary Shelley. That’s tomorrow on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.
