Castaway by Arthur C. Clarke

Caught in a storm he is thrown far from home and his very existence is in doubt. Castaway by Arthur C. Clarke, that’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, with at least one lost vintage sci-fi short story in every episode.

In the UK in 1938 a new magazine appeared, Fantasy would publish an issue that year and two the next and then disappear. It reappeared in 1946 with 3 issues over the next two years and, poof, it was gone again, this time for good.

Our story appeared in the April 1947 issue but it was credited to Charles Willis. Almost 20 years later it reappeared in a collection of science fiction stories called Strange Signposts. You’ll find it on page 303, Castaway by Arthur C. Clarke…

Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, What really happened to the traveling salesman and the farmer’s daughter–and why? Here’s the ultimate, horrifying answer… Jokester by Isaac Asimov.
