About this episode
Four stories from the golden age of science fiction — and none of them end where you think they will. A morgue ship drifting through the wreckage of a space war pulls in something extraordinary. A telethink researcher in the Florida Keys gets a warning from the stars — too late. A beer truck driver spends a sleepless weekend with something he accidentally created in his kitchen sink. And on a planet designed to be paradise, a man locked in a back room finishes building something with his hands. Four writers. Four worlds. Four moments when science fiction and horror become the same thing.*No AI Voices Are Used In The Narration Of This Podcast*IN THIS EPISODE: A crashed alien lifeboat brings a deadly predator to a remote Florida key, where a stubborn hermit and a stranded scientist face a creature that even the galaxy's most advanced civilizations fear. It’s “Rough Beast” by Roger Dee. *** Winston Marks brings us the story “The Water Eater”. When a weekend cleaning experiment goes strangely right, a curious beer truck driver discovers he’s made something that might not want to stay in the soap bucket. *** Colonists achieve their dream of a perfect world without work or worry, - but is it truly the paradise they had hoped for? James McKimmey brings us the tale “Planet of Dreams.” *** A classic from Ray Bradbury entitled “Lazarus Come Forth” where a morgue ship operator searching for his son's body among the war dead discovers a perfectly preserved scientist from three centuries ago — and the terrible secret he carries. *** It’s an anthology of science fiction tonight – all stories I narrated for the Auditory Anthology podcast where you can hear them fully produced with music and sound effects if you want the full experience.
