The night the moon turns an eerie green, every living creature on Earth falls into a silent paralysis—except one scientist who stumbles onto the secret too late to warn the world. Now, with alien invaders already preparing to claim the planet, he must launch a desperate strike before the last free mind on Earth fades into the same living death. When the Moon Turned Green by Hal K. Wells. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.

Harold Kerton Wells was born in September 1899 in Little Hocking, Ohio. Writing under the name Hal K. Wells, he produced science fiction, fantasy, and adventure stories featuring alien worlds, strange creatures, and dangerous scientific discoveries. When the Moon Turned Green marks the first story by Wells featured on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.

His stories often place human characters in direct conflict with strange creatures, alien settings, and dangerous scientific discoveries. About two dozen of his stories were published in magazines between 1929 and 1954.

Let’s turn to page 241 in the May 1931 issue of Astounding Stories, When the Moon Turned Green by Hal K. Wells…

Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, Human explorers believe they’ve conquered a fading Martian village and are reshaping its future. But inside one quiet back room, a different group studies the invaders and prepares to decide whether the colonists will ever leave Mars alive. The Crowded Colony by Jerome Bixby.
