Today on the podcast our first story from the 1940s. More than eight decades ago Richard O. Lewis wrote Zurk. As is often the case we know very little about Lewis other than the fact that he wrote the story you’ll hear today and 20 others from 1939 to 1967.
If you bought the 132 page Winter 1941 edition of Planet Stories Magazine, released about a month before the bombing of Pearl Harbor, when it first came out you would have paid only 20 cents. You can buy it now on eBay for $150.
Gentle Marene was next when the black space cruiser called for its youth-levy. If only Zurk would spark to life-Zurk, this huge, part-human war-machine of tubular steel muscles and blank, mechanical mind.
From Planet Stories Magazine in November, 1941, Zurk by Richard O. Lewis.
We have plans to narrate several other Richard O. Lewis stories in the coming months.
Your honest 5-star ratings and positive reviews on Apple Podcasts are always appreciated.
