We have narrated only one Francis Stevens story before today. The Elf Trap was on the podcast about 8 months ago. 

Francis Stevens—born Gertrude Barrows Bennett, is one of the most influential and overlooked early masters of speculative storytelling. Publishing under a pen name, she shaped the foundations of dark fantasy and early science-fiction thrillers long before the genre had a name.

Today’s story is one of scientific ambition, unexpected power, and the thin line between discovery and danger. Let’s travel back in time 121 years to March 1904 and open The Argosy Magazine to page 663, The Curious Experience of Thomas Dunbar by Francis Stevens…

Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, In a future where humanity has grown soft, only their self-evolving machine descendants stand between Earth and an unstoppable alien force. As the last humans watch the end of their own era, a new kind of intelligence rises to decide the fate of everything that lives—or once lived. The Last Evolution by John W. Campbell.
