They tried Gordon Kent for murder–but who was really responsible? The Sky Was Full of Ships by Theodore Sturgeon, that’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, with at least one lost vintage sci-fi short story in every episode.

We get a lot of comments on our YouTube Channel. This comes to us from HEAVYMETALmovie1981 “MORE scary werewolf stories please!!”

We hear you and we have added Black Hound Of Death by Robert E. Howard to our list of stories to narrate. By the way if you know a scary werewolf vintage science fiction story, please send an email to [email protected]. Thanks, HEAVYMETALmovie1981!!

And this from rodneydangerman9616, “I've been a consistent listener for a while now...my thought (because it was requested in the video description) is that it should be one (confounding and quasi-obscure) question per week. I assume it would be easier on y'all (production team, that is) and, perhaps, it would give an ample amount of time for the audience to respond. Just my two cents. Love your work, Scott! You and Ian (from HorrorBabble) are, in my humble opinion, truly two of the best narrators on YT!!!”

Thanks, rodneydangerman9616!! Ian from HorrorBabble is an amazing narrator so to be mentioned with him is a huge compliment.

If you have something to say, we would love to hear it! Comment on our YouTube channel or send us an email, [email protected].

Theodore Sturgeon was born Edward Hamilton Waldo in Staten Island, New York, in 1918. His name was legally changed to Theodore Sturgeon at age eleven after his mother's divorce and subsequent marriage.

Sturgeon's 1953 science fiction novel More Than Human won the 1954 International Fantasy Award as the year's best novel, and the Science Fiction Writers of America ranked "Baby Is Three" number five among the "Greatest Science Fiction Novellas of All Time" up to 1964. Ranked by votes for all of their pre-1965 novellas, Sturgeon was second among authors, behind only Robert Heinlein.

He was good and he was prolific! He wrote almost 200 short stories and the screenplays for two Star Trek episodes, and two of his stories were adapted for The New Twilight Zone.

Today’s story by Sturgeon was in Thrilling Wonder Stories Magazine in June 1947 and can be found on page 55, The Sky Was Full of Ships by Theodore Sturgeon…
