Spacemen Die at Home by Edward W. Ludwig - Science Fiction Short Stories

One man's retreat is another's prison... and it takes a heap of flying to make a hulk a home! Spacemen Die At Home by Edward W. Ludwig, that’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, with at least one lost vintage sci-fi short story in every episode.

We appreciate your 5-star reviews on Apple Podcasts. Gtree10 says. “Always a joy when a new story drops. Such a wonderful podcast, being able to listen to these great lost sci-fi stories from a range of authors (some well-know, some unknown). The reader does an incredible job bringing the stories to life. I eagerly look forward to next show dropping."

Thank you Gtree10!!

Kaydon Tye says, “A must listen to for sci-fi fans! I found the lost sci-fi podcast shortly after having a conversation about Philip K Dick with the attendant at the Holter Museum of Art in Helena Montana and looked for more about him. Being a big fan of classic and vintage literature I was pleasantly surprised to find your podcast. I was thrilled to see Philip K Dick as the pilot episode. I’ve been enjoying the narrator bring to life the story like an old time radio drama. From “The Plagiarist of Rigel IV” to “The Mind Digger” I hang on to every word to the end. I give the sci-fi podcast five stars and say it is a must listen for sci-fi fans.”

Thanks Kaydon Tye!!

Born in Tracy, California in July 1920, Edward William Ludwig had 16 short science fiction stories published in the 1950s, 6 in the 60s, 1 in the 70s and 2 short sci-fi stories in the 80s. We know he died in 1990 at the age of 69 and that’s about it. 

The story we’re about to hear was his 5th published story in the 1950s. Turn to page 75 in the October 1951 issue of Galaxy Science Fiction Magazine for Spacemen Die At Home by Edward W. Ludwig…
