The Colour Out of Space by H.P. Lovecraft - Cosmic Horror Weird Fiction from Amazing Stories in 1927

The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast - Vintage Sci-Fi Short Stories

In 1927 Amazing Stories had this to say about our next episode, We could wax rhapsodical in our praise, as the story is one of the finest pieces of literature it has been our good fortune to read. The theme is original, and yet fantastic enough to make it rise head and shoulders above many contemporary scientifiction stories. You will not regret having read this marvelous tale. The Colour Out of Space by H. P. Lovecraft. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.

Wow. Just wow! I have put all my other extensive podcast listening on hold, and I’m listening only to past episodes of The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast. Thanks to Scott for accompanying me on my winter runs, weight lifting sessions, and chores around the house. Scott’s selection of stories is right on the money, and his voice and characterizations are the work of a master. Thank You!” Thank you Doctorwoo!!

When we launched The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, our goal was to spotlight truly forgotten science fiction short stories—many of which had never been narrated before. But we’ve been listening to you, and your requests have taken us in unexpected directions. H. P. Lovecraft’s stories have been recorded many times, so we hadn’t planned to include them. However, your enthusiasm made us rethink that decision, and now we realize this is a story we should have shared long ago. So here it is—thanks to you!

From the September 1927 issue of Amazing Stories, our eerie tale can be found on page 556, The Colour Out of Space by H. P. Lovecraft…

Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, What if you had the power to change reality with a single thought? An ordinary man discovers his limitless abilities—only to learn that absolute power comes with devastating consequences. The Man Who Could Work Miracles by H. G. Wells.
