The Veldt by Ray Bradbury - Ray Bradbury...

SCOTT MILLER
About this episode

George and Lydia Hadley were the perfect parents, or so it seemed. They gave their children everything and in return their children gave them a little something. The Veldt by Ray Bradbury, that’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.

There are some stories we wish we had narrated sooner and this is one of those stories. Originally appearing as The World the Children Made in the September 23, 1950, issue of The Saturday Evening Post, it was republished as The Veldt in the 1951 anthology The Illustrated Man. Follow along on page 26. Do you wonder what goes on in your children’s minds? The Hadleys did–and they dared enter the forbidden doorway to The World The Children Made.

The Veldt by Ray Bradbury


Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, Hell in reverse temperature–that’s what Jimmy and Roy were going through in their little space-ship! Ring Around the Sun by Isaac Asimov.
