Task of Kayin originally appeared in 1953 but was also published in the Australian magazine Science Fiction Monthly in February 1957. It’s believed to be the last issue of the magazine from the land down under which lasted a short three years. Morrison wrote over 80 short sci-fi stories many of which were translated into French, Portuguese, Italian, German and Russian and then republished.

If you enjoy his work, as I do, you will happy to know that you will hear many more William Morrison stories in future episodes of The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.
