RAS #627 – Martian VFW

On Ron’s Amazing Stories, we have an exciting lineup of tales that will captivate your imagination. First up, we have a review of one of my favorite audiobooks, Moon – The Dragon Prince. This epic adventure combines a compelling storyline with superb narration.

Next, we delve into the archives of These Are Your Stories for a special tale that will leave speechless. A seemingly ordinary encounter on a beach turns into an extraordinary experience that will challenge your beliefs and have your jaws dropping.

For our featured stories, we turn to the pages of the classic pulp magazines. I’m a big fan of alien invasion adventures, and this one is not like anything you’ve heard before. And to close the show, we have a short but powerful piece of pulp fiction titled Resurrection. This captivating story explores the idea of reincarnation before the scientific understanding of DNA.

So press that play button and Enjoy the show.

Featured Story – Martian V.F.W.

Our featured story comes from the 1950s pulp mag scene. It was written G.L. Vandenburg. He was one of those writers who would flourish during the golden age of science fiction. In this story we look at one possible way the world could be invaded, but it is not what you think. It is titled Martian V.F.W. and was first published in Amazing Science Fiction Stories in May of 1959. There’s nothing like a parade, I always say. Of course, I’m a Martian.

It is titled The Lost Race and it first aired in May of 1950.

A Scary Figure At Night!

Our story for the blog this time is chilling. It comes to us from Yash Devi who currently lives in New York. The story first appeared on Reddit and was sent to us via email. Yash asked me to edit it and has titled his story Scary Figure At Night!

During college I used to live alone in a bachelor unit in Mumbai, India. During exams I would study late and would often go down to the street between 2-4 am for a coffee. There was a guy on a bike who sold coffee and Dakluh. One night, nothing out of the ordinary, I went down to this coffee seller. The whole neighborhood was peaceful as usual.

I came out of my building compound and to the right was a huge garbage dumpster. It was early in the day and I was a bit sleepy but I didn’t see anyone in the area. I was walking along the road and to the right there were two mid size cargo trucks. As I passed the first truck I saw a shadow of a woman draped in white cloth standing in between them. From where she was there was no way I would have missed her while I was coming out of the building. It was as if this thing had appeared from thin air. The lane was dimly lit but there was enough light to see facial features (i.e nose, eyes etc) but her face was completely blank. I stared at her for a few seconds. She was unmoving but then her head slowly turned right towards me. I felt a chill go through my body. I don’t know how I knew, but I knew I was in trouble. As any normal person would do I ran away from there as fast as I could. If Usain Bolt would be next to me, I am sure I would have beaten him. I didn’t stop until I was completely out of the area. When I got to where the coffee seller was, he was missing that night. I returned back home and I never ever went for the late night refreshments ever again.

I have always been a skeptic and never believed in the paranormal, but that is all different now. One more thing. I am absolutely certain no woman would risk standing in a city in India, at night, in any neighborhood considering the high crime rate against women. A few weeks passed and I was telling a friend about what had happened. He got a shocked look on his face and told me that he had a similar incident and saw that same figure standing motionless on the street in the very same area. I’m not sure what to call it, but I darn sure that was no woman I saw that night! – Yash Devi

This Week’s Podcast: While searching for the story this week I ran into an obscure little website where the owner had a collection of science fiction stories that was quite unique. As I was going through the list I saw an episode of Dimension X that I have never heard of. I was shocked and pleasantly surprised by the quality and how good the story was. So, that is our featured tale this week. It is titled The Lost Race. It tells of a master race of aliens afraid to become human.
