 We’ve lost a Sofanaut – RIP Larry Santoro | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 15:33

This week we'll be putting the fiction on hold to pay tribute to a stalwart of the District of Wonders - Larry Santoro. Larry's contributions to the District have been many and varied, but he's most well known as the host of our sister podcast Tales to Terrify. Our thoughts are with his partner Tycelia at this time - we'll be back next week with more thoughts and stories. (This week's audio comes to us from our producer and host of Starship Sofa, Tony C. Smith.)

Main Fiction: "Rose Face" by Harold A. Lamb, first published in Adventure Magazine, March 3, 1920. Narrator: Lewis Morgan. Where is the man who knows what is hidden in the heart of a woman?

 Protecting Project Pulp 55: Clark Ashton Smith | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 28:05

Main Fiction: "Mother of Toads" by Clark Ashton Smith, first published in Weird Tales, July, 1938. Narrator: Josie Babin. "Why must you always hurry away, my little one?" The voice of Mère Antoinette, the witch, was an amorous croaking. She ogled Pierre, the apothecary's young apprentice, with eyes full-orbed and unblinking as those of a toad.

 Protecting Project Pulp 54: W. Ryerson Johnson | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 36:10

Main Fiction: "River Round-Up" by W. Ryerson Johnson, first published in Western Story Magazine, May 14, 1932. Narrator: Fred Himebaugh. With gloved finger tensed on rifle trigger, Poleon was waiting for “Wolfjaw” Tamson. He knew Wolfjaw would pass here, because ahead and to both sides the outlaw’s escape was cut off by Growling Bear River. Many things Wolfjaw Tamson had been called—bush sneak, cache thief, killer of lonely trappers, knifer of his own brother; all these things, and rightly. But one thing he had not been called. That thing was, damn fool.

 Protecting project Pulp 53: Sax Rohmer | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 45:57

Main Fiction: "The Hand of the Mandarin Quong" by Sax Rohmer, first published in Tales of Chinatown. Narrator: Doc Coleman. Rebellion leapt again to the wonderful eyes, and she started back with a perfectly splendid gesture of defiance. At that my brutal and drunken host leapt in her direction. I was on my feet now, but before I could act the girl said a thing which checked him, sobered him, which pulled him up short, as though he had encountered a stone wall. "Ah, God!" she said. "His hand! His hand! Look! His hand!" This "Yellow Peril" story includes the use of a racial term that may offend some listeners.

 Protecting Project Pulp 52: Eric H. Wilkinson | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 37:12

Main Fiction: "Mitafri" by Eric H. Wilkinson, first published in Sea Stories, August 1929. Narrator: Josh Roseman. Sailors, whose observation is necessarily keener than that of other men, and who have to name the wonders they encounter for future reference, have always called him the swordfish—when they did not call him something worse—and they have known him for a long time—a very long time.

 Protecting Project Pulp 51: Edgar Rice Burroughs | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 44:51

Main Fiction: "The Witch-Doctor Seeks Vengeance" by Edgar Rice Burroughs, first published in 1919 in Jungle Tales of Tarzan. Narrator: Nathan Lowell. As he quenched his thirst, another denizen of the gloomy forest approached the stream along the path behind him. It was Numa, the lion, tawny of body and black of mane, scowling and sinister, rumbling out low, coughing roars. Tarzan of the Apes heard him long before he came within sight, but the ape-man went on with his drinking until he had had his fill; then he arose, slowly, with the easy grace of a creature of the wilds and all the quiet dignity that was his birthright.

 Protecting Project Pulp 50: H P Lovecraft | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 32:21

Main Fiction: "The Nameless City" by H. P. Lovecraft, first published in the November 1921 issue of The Wolverine. This is the first ever story in the Cthulhu Mythos. Narrator: Wilson Fowlie. When I drew nigh the nameless city I knew it was accursed. I was traveling in a parched and terrible valley under the moon, and afar I saw it protruding uncannily above the sands as parts of a corpse may protrude from an ill-made grave. Fear spoke from the age-worn stones of this hoary survivor of the deluge, this great-grandfather of the eldest pyramid; and a viewless aura repelled me and bade me retreat from antique and sinister secrets that no man should see, and no man else had dared to see..

 Protecting Project Pulp 49: E. Hoffmann Price | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 40:35

Main Fiction: "The Girl From Samarcand" by E. Hoffmann Price, first published in Weird Tales, March 1938. Narrator: James Silverstein. "Look at it! Just a rug, the first time. But live with it day after day. See the witchery sparkling in it at sunset. Catch yourself losing yourself in the thrill of its three hundred years, wondering that all the ecstasy ever lost in the entire world could be imprisoned in a rug."

 Protecting Project Pulp 48: Jacques Futrelle | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 1:20:34

Main Fiction: "The Problem of Cell 13" by Jacques Futrelle, first published in 1905. Narrator: Simon Hildebrandt. "Let's suppose a case," he said, after a moment. "Take a cell where prisoners under sentence of death are confined—men who are desperate and, maddened by fear, would take any chance to escape—suppose you were locked in such a cell. Could you escape?" "Certainly," declared The Thinking Machine.

 Protecting Project Pulp 47: H. P. Lovecraft | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 1:01:05

Main Fiction: "The Rats in the Walls" by H. P. Lovecraft, first published in Weird Tales, March, 1924. Narrator: James Silverstein. The place had not been inhabited since the reign of James the First, when a tragedy of intensely hideous, though largely unexplained, nature had struck down the master, five of his children, and several servants; and driven forth under a cloud of suspicion and terror the third son, my lineal progenitor and the only survivor of the abhorred line. (This story contains casual uses of racial terms which will offend some people. Listener discretion is advised. -ed.)

 Protecting Project Pulp 46: Dashiell Hammett | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 42:31

Main Fiction: "Arson Plus" by Dashiell Hammett, first published in Black Mask, October 1, 1923. Narrator: Nick Camm. "The company that insured Thornburgh's house thinks somebody touched it off. They tell me the lower part of the house was soaked with gasoline, but the Lord knows how they could tell — there wasn't a stick left standing."

 Protecting Project Pulp 45: E. Hoffmann Price | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 1:00:10

Main Fiction: "The Devil's Crypt" by E. Hoffmann Price, first published in Strange Detective Stories, January, 1934. Narrator: Tristan Gregory. As the creatures of a condemned man’s dream, the Brotherhood of Black Evil arose from the dust of 800,000 years to weave its spell of criminal sorcery over those who knew the answer to the Gray Sphinx riddle.

 Protecting Project Pulp 44: Carlotta M. Hardy | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 38:01

Main Fiction: "Wanted: A Wife" by Carlotta M. Hardy, first published in All Story Weekly, August 19, 1916. Narrator: Goldeen Ogawa. “I’ve got to have a wife inside of an hour.” “A wife!” she repeated in a bewildered voice, “inside of an hour!” “Precisely.” She stared at him, a shade in her candid eyes, a hint of something in her face that made him stare back. “Of course I haven’t known you long,” he stumbled on somewhat blindly, “but I wonder if—you’ll help me out.”

 Protecting Project Pulp 43: S. B. H. Hurst | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 49:07

Main Fiction: "The Spirit of France" by S. B. H. Hurst, first published in Ace High Magazine, February, 1931. Narrator: Josie Babin. In a small, low-lit courtyard danced the Spirit of France. Avid eyes glowed at her beauty, wondering how long Mohamet Ali would continue to bestow upon her his quite unusual protection. Editor's Note: Today's story contains racial and religious characterizations that may offend some listeners.
