    Damnation Alley | Sci-Fi Story | Podcast
    Jan 17 2026
    Damnation Alley by Roger Zelazny is a novella published in 1967. The story is set in a post-apocalyptic Southern California, thirty years after a nuclear war has devastated the United States. The world is buffeted with hurricane-force winds above 500 ft. preventing air travel, and unpredictable "garbage storms" combined with giant, mutated animals and insects making surface travel extremely dangerous. "Hell" Tanner, is an imprisoned member of the Hells Angels, a convicted killer and thief, who is offered a full pardon for his crimes in exchange for undertaking a suicide mission: driving a convoy of three heavily armed vehicles through "Damnation Alley," a radiation-free passage across the ruined continent to Boston. The mission is to deliver a desperately needed plague vaccine to survivors.

    A film adaptation by the same name was released in 1977. The story inspired the 2011 Lonesome Road downloadable content for Fallout: New Vegas, and the original Fallout game drew from its premise. The story also inspired the The Cursed Earth arc in 2000 AD magazine, the album Quark, Strangeness and Charm by Hawkwind, and the novel Hardwired by Walter Jon Williams.

  • The Racer | Dystopian Future | Podcast

    The Racer | Dystopian Future | Podcast
    Jan 4 2026
    The Racer is a 1956 short story written by Ib Melchior. The story was first published in the magazine Escapade in October 1956. It presents a dystopian vision in which five race drivers compete in a transcontinental race where the winner is determined by a combination of finishing position and the number of pedestrians they kill, earning points for each casualty. The narrative follows Willie "The Bull" Connors, a racer whose confidence wavers as he becomes increasingly haunted by the lives he takes, ultimately leading to a moral reckoning when confronted by a young woman who challenges his identity as a "racer".

    The story served as the basis for two major film adaptations: Death Race 2000 (1975), starring David Carradine and Sylvester Stallone; and Death Race (2008), starring Jason Statham. The 2008 version was a remake based on the screenplay of the 1975 film. Melchior also claimed to have originated the ideas for both Lost in Space and Star Trek, though these were later developed by Irwin Allen and Gene Roddenberry, respectively.

  • Herbert West — Reanimator | H.P. Lovecraft | Podcast

    Herbert West — Reanimator | H.P. Lovecraft | Podcast
    Dec 24 2025
    Herbert West - Reanimator is a horror story by H. P. Lovecraft first serialized in the magazine Home Brew in 1922. The story introduces Herbert West, a brilliant but amoral and narcissistic medical student at the fictional Miskatonic University in Arkham, who becomes obsessed with the idea of reanimating the dead through a chemical reagent. West's theories, which view life as a purely mechanical process, lead him to conduct secret experiments on fresh human corpses, eventually resulting in the creation of violent, animalistic reanimated beings.

    The narrative is told from the perspective of West's former friend and assistant, who recounts their time at medical school, their clandestine work in an abandoned farmhouse, and the increasingly horrific consequences of West's experiments.
    ​
    The story served as the basis for the 1985 horror film Re-Animator, directed by Stuart Gordon and starring Jeffrey Combs as Herbert West. Combs reprised the role in two sequels, Bride of Re-Animator (1990) and Beyond Re-Animator (2003), cementing the character as one of cinema's greatest mad scientists.

  • The Empire of the Ants and Another Story of Hidden Enemies | Podcast

    The Empire of the Ants and Another Story of Hidden Enemies | Podcast
    Nov 22 2025
    The Empire of the Ants is a 1905 short story by H. G. Wells. It follows Captain Gerilleau, a Creole naval officer, who is dispatched to the Amazon basin in South America to investigate reports of a plague of unusually intelligent and aggressive ants destroying a colony. Accompanying him is Holroyd, a Lancashire engineer, who initially views the mission as absurd, questioning what one can do against ants. As the crew travels up the river, they encounter increasing evidence of the ants' intelligence and organized behavior, including reports of a man being killed by a swarm after returning to his home, which the ants had seemingly vacated. It inspired the 1977 science fiction horror film of the same name.

    Eight O'Clock in the Morning is a science fiction short story written by American author Ray Faraday Nelson, first published in The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction. The story follows George Nada, a man who, after attending a hypnotist's show, "awakes all the way" while others remain in a trance. He becomes the sole human to perceive the true nature of reality, seeing reptilian aliens referred to as the "Fascinators" or "Reptilians" which are —hidden beneath human skin. These aliens secretly control society by broadcasting subliminal messages through signs and television, which only George can now see and resist. George realizes that he is the only one aware of the deception. The story served as the basis for John Carpenter's 1988 science fiction action film They Live, which starred Roddy Piper in the lead role.
