When he discovered something mysterious in his ancient castle he asked a scientist for help. It worked! In fact, it worked too well. Ghosts of the Heaviside Layer by Lord Dunsany, that’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.


Edward John Moreton Drax Plunkett, 18th Baron of Dunsany, we know him as Lord Dunsany the incredibly prolific author who published more than 90 books, and hundreds of short stories, plays and essays.


He was born in London in 1878, was raised partly in Kent. Dunsany lived much of his life in what may be Ireland's longest-inhabited house, Dunsany Castle. He was the chess and pistol-shooting champion of Ireland and during the 1910s was considered one of the greatest living writers of the English-speaking word.


Writers who were influenced by Dunsany include, Arthur C. Clarke, H. P. Lovecraft, Robert E. Howard, Clark Ashton Smith, Jorge Luis Borges, C. M. Kornbluth, Margaret St. Clair and many more.


Published in 1955 today’s story is one of his last, appearing in the April 1955 issue of Fantasy and Science Fiction Magazine when he was 77. Turn to page 48, Ghosts of the Heaviside Layer by Lord Dunsany


Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, A summons from yesterday, a promise from tomorrow–they had commanded Alan Dane to tear apart the pages of history–to save his unborn son! Miracle by Ray Cummings.
