RAS #335 – The Adolphus Bride

On Ron’s Amazing Stories this time we have guest Mark Nelson who is an Audiobook Narrator. Also on the show, we have a ghost story from the famous Adolphus Hotel in Dallas, Texas. “Johnny Is It True?”, returns with an all Civil War edition. I think you are going to like this episode.

Our Marquee Story – Anything You Can do?

Our story is read by our guest Mark Nelson and is called “Anything You Can Do..” by Randall Garrett.

“An alien crash lands on Earth, and for ten years terrorizes the planet, hiding, periodically killing, eating people and stealing materials for some unknown purpose. The only hope is Bart Stanton, a medically-engineered superman, designed for the sole purpose of confronting the Nipe.”  – Mark Nelson

What we will play is the first chapter of the book, It really is a collection of stories told from various points of view. Its author Randall Garrett was an American science fiction and fantasy writer. He loved the science fiction magazines of the 1950s and 1960s and it showed his support with at least a hundred short stories, some of which we have played on the podcast.

Note: If after hearing chapter one of “Anything You Can Do”, and want to continue the story you can find the rest of the book on LibriVox.org right here.

RAS #332 – Impossible!

On Ron’s Amazing Stories this week, mysteries is the theme for the show and this week we set out to break records. We have stories that include a ten-year-old mystery of death and murder. Brother James is back with another strange tale from New Mexico – The Land Of Enchantment and Tyler tells us his mysterious trip to the Hot Lake Hotel in Oregon. For the record, this might be one of scariest tales we have had yet. Ethan from Australia chimes with his contribution to the segment, “Johnny is it true?”. Add to it all a tale of blood gone bad from the folks at The Five Minute Mystery.

Our OTR Story – Dead Man’s Vengeance

Our main story for this week comes from the old time radio series The Inner Sanctum. This has horror and mystery all rolled into one. It stars the narrator, Raymond, having his very own bout with strangeness. The quality on this one was a little beat-up, so I did some restoration work on it and it is my hope that you enjoy it. The tale is called, Dead Man’s Vengeance and first aired on October 10, 1944.

Our Marquee Story – The Beast Of Space

For our story, we have The Beast of Space by F. E Hardart. It first appeared in Comet Magazine in the July edition, 1941.
