The most powerful man on Earth has a secret so dangerous that even his closest protector is forbidden to discover it. But when the truth finally emerges, the world may already be beyond saving. The Little Giant by Jackson Barrow. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.There are two reasons we decided to narrate today’s story. First, it’s very different from most of the stories we’ve shared. Second, its author, Jackson Barrow, is credited with only two published stories, and we know almost nothing about him. One source claims his real name was Louis Weinstein, but we haven’t been able to confirm that. And that’s all we could find.Open the November 1956 issue of Science Fiction Quarterly to page 70, The Little Giant by Jackson Barrow…Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, A man discovers that the woman he loves is keeping a secret that could change everything he believes about his world.

The Strange High House in the Mist by H. P. Lovecraft
Thomas Olney has spent years longing for something beyond the safe, predictable world he knows. When he finally reaches a place where impossible visitors cross the threshold, he may discover that a man can return home without bringing all of himself back. The Strange High House in the Mist by H. P. Lovecraft. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast. Another 5 star review on Apple Podcasts US, this from sinisteracyd, “Sir you have a great voice and I absolutely devoured these stories.” Thanks Sinister, we appreciate the review and the 5 stars. H. P. Lovecraft achieved little financial success during his lifetime, earning modest payments for stories that would eventually establish him as one of the most influential horror writers in history. His influence extended to numerous other authors who continued to expand the strange fictional universe he created long after his death.
