Lorelei by Charles V. DeVet

Nine men are stranded on Jupiter’s moon Europa with enough power to survive but nowhere near enough food, and as hope runs thin, a mysterious shapeshifting creature moves among them — taking the exact form each man needs most. For Bill Lutscher, that form is Lois, the wife he left behind on Earth, and resisting her becomes almost impossible when he still needs her help to survive.Charles V. DeVet (1911–1997) was an American science fiction writer who published more than fifty stories across his career, beginning with “The Unexpected Weapon” in 1950. His collaboration with Katherine MacLean, “Second Game,” was a 1958 Hugo Award finalist. “Lorelei” first appeared in Worlds of If Science Fiction in September 1961.If you have a story you’d like to contribute to the series, you can visit https://submissions.soundconceptmedia.com/You can support the show by becoming a paid subscriber on Substack: https://auditoryanthology.substack.comBy becoming a paid subscriber you can listen to every episode completely ad-free!Curator: Keith Conrad linktr.ee/keithrconradNarrator: Darren Marlar https://darrenmarlar.com/Other shows hosted by Darren:Weird Darkness: https://weirddarkness.com/Paranormality Magazine: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/paranormalitymagMicro Terrors: Scary Stories for Kids: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/microterrorsRetro Radio – Old Time Radio In The Dark: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/retroradioChurch of the Undead: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/churchoftheundead Hosted on Acast.
