Today’s story is the only interplanetary science fiction story written by H. P. Lovecraft and he did not write this story by himself. Kenneth J. Sterling was only 14 when he met Lovecraft and he shared his draft of a story with him when he was a 16 year old medical student in Providence Rhode Island.

The story was rewritten and published two and a half years after Lovecraft’s death in the October 1939 issue of Weird Tales magazine. Let’s turn to page 50 of this 85 year old publication that would have set you back all of 15 cents, In the Walls of Eryx by H. P. Lovecraft and Kenneth Sterling…

Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, An unusual story, about the darkness that settled like a black cloud, and the horror that came with it. Spawn of Inferno by Hugh B. Cave.
