It’s October, which means a couple of things: The weather is a little colder, everything is suddenly Pumpkin Spice-flavored and most importantly, it’s “Spooky Season. So in addition to our normal science fiction stories, this month we’re sharing some classic horror tales by Edgar Allen Poe to keep you up all night. This week’s story is "The Cask of Amontillado" by Edgar Allen Poe.
This week’s story is The Troubled Atlas, an original story by Sander Wess. In it we meet a scientist in the midst of an accident in space who must make an impossible decision: risk everything to save another crewmember or ensure the survival of the few who remain.
This week’s story is Age of Anxiety by Robert Silverberg. If you could take a pill and never have to worry about anything ever again, would you? What if there was a time limit for you to make your decision?
This week’s story is “Amateur in Chancery” by George O. Smith. If someone’s life depended on it, could you explain the concept of right and left to someone who had tentacles and had never heard of either?
This week, we have an original story that was submitted to Auditory Anthology called ”It’s About Time” by DH Parish, which is a little like the movie Invasion of the Body Snatchers, except the pod people do odds and ends for the community.
This week’s story is “Security Risk” by Ed M Clinton Jr. Over the years I’ve heard a few people say that if there’s a task you don’t want to do, do it once really badly and no one will ever ask you again. Here we learn that if there’s a fight you really don’t want to get involved in, all you have to do is make both sides think they can’t trust you.
This week’s story is ”The Furious Rose” by Dean Evans, which looks at a future where society punishes criminals by taking something unexpected from them.
This week, we have “Pen Pal” by Stephen Marlowe. We meet Matilda, a young woman looking for love by submitting letters to a literary magazine. That’s something much more common when the story was published in 1951 and probably pretty close to using a dating app these days. When she thinks she’s found the love of her life, things get really strange
This week’s story is “Special Parts” by Matthew DeBlock, an original story that takes a look at a fascinating world all around us that we never see.
This week we have "The Irritated People" by Ray Bradbury. Charles Crossley, the President of American Jet-Propelled Ships, finds himself in a world teetering on the edge of chaos. The World Organization keeps has banned all wars, so countries have to get creative to settle their differences.
