  • The Hanging Stranger - Philip K. Dick
    May 24 2025

    Hello, and welcome to 'Lost Tales From the Past', where we dig up and resurrect long forgotten stories for your listening pleasure. Today we find ourselves in December of the year 1953, where we find a copy of 'Science Fiction Adventures' magazine. Thumbing through it, we come upon a story from Philip K. Dick called 'The Hanging Stranger'. It's about a man who makes a grisly discovery; there's a human body hanging from a lamp post in the center of town...and he's the only one that seems to notice or care. So, sit back, relax, maybe think twice about making your suspicions known, and get ready for 'The Hanging Stranger', by Philip K. Dick.#LostTalesFromthePast #Fantasy #Scifi #Horror #Audiobook #FreeAudiobook #ScienceFiction #ClassicStory #ShortStory #FantasyFan #WeirdTales #ForgottenStories #ClassicHorror #ClassicSciFi #ClassicFantasy #ImaginationMagazine #Imagination #PhilipKDick #PKD #TheHangingStranger #ScienceFictionAdventuresMagazine #ScienceFictionAdventures #HumanVoice #HumanVoiceAudiobook

  • Smith - An Episode in a Lodging House - Algernon Blackwood
    May 23 2025

    Hello, and welcome to Lost Tales From the Past, where we seek out forgotten, exciting stories and give them new life. Today, I've dug up an dusted off a book from 1906 by the very famous Algernon Blackwood . The book is a collection called 'The Empty House – and other Ghost Stories', which was, if I'm not mistaken, his first published work. In it, we find a story called 'Smith: An Episode in a Lodging House', which tells of a medical student who has a fascinating, eldritch and horrifying experience with a fellow lodger know only as 'Smith'. So, sit back, relax, turn off all the lights if you're brave, and get ready for 'Smith: An Episode in a Lodging House' by Algernon Blackwood.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algernon_Blackwood#LostTalesFromthePast #Fantasy #Scifi #Horror #Audiobook #FreeAudiobook #ScienceFiction #ClassicStory #ShortStory #FantasyFan #WeirdTales #ForgottenStories #ClassicHorror #ClassicSciFi #ClassicFantasy #ImaginationMagazine #Imagination #PhilipKDick #PKD #TheHangingStranger #ScienceFictionAdventuresMagazine #ScienceFictionAdventures #SmithAnEpisodeInALodgingHouse #AlgernonBlackwood #Blackwood #TheEmptyHouse #GhostStories
