The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast - Vintage Sci-Fi Short Stories

Today on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast we go back 119 years and introduce you to a story by an author we have never featured on the podcast before. The Man Who Did Things Twice and a second story by Don Mark Lemon, The Spider and the Fly. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.Don Mark Lemon was born in Arizona in September 1877, he wrote 15 short stories and 1 novel, The Scarlet Planet, which was published in 1930.His first published short story, Doctor Goldman, can be found in the December 1900 issue of The Black Cat which launched in 1895. The Black Cat sold for five cents and encouraged amateur writers to submit stories. As the story goes the Jack London novel The Call of the Wild might never have been written if not for The Black Cat. London wasn’t having success as a writer and was about to give up but then he sold a story, A Thousand Deaths, to The Black Cat in 1899 and The Call of the Wild was published four years later! Never give up, Never Surrender!!The first Don Mark Lemon story on the podcast won a $100 prize, which would be worth about $3,500 today, and appeared in the June 1905 issue of The Black Cat on page 39, The Man Who Did Things Twice by Don Mark Lemon…Our second story by Don Mark Lemon was published in The Thrill Book, a short lived publication which began and ceased publication in 1919.
