Con-Fen by James R. Adams - When Two Aliens Crash a Fan Convention, Earth Will Never Be the Same.
Manage episode 482830498 series 3334842
The Shisti and the Assistant Shisti of Mars chose Chicago, U.S.A., for their vacation spot. No worries; they were invisible. Plenty of rich food; the joint was loaded. A whole year of frolicking in store. Only one thing they overlooked—there was a curious convention going on. Con-Fen by James R. Adams. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.
This episode marks the first time James R. Adams has appeared on our podcast. We’d love to share more about him—but truth be told, there isn’t much known. He published five stories in the 1940s and the one you’re about to hear in the 1950s. That’s all we have… but sometimes, the stories speak for themselves.
The last story in Planet Stories magazine in May 1953 can be found on page 104, Con-Fen by James R. Adams…
Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, If werewolves exist, they don't necessarily conform to all the superstitions people have. They may even know fear…. Infiltration by Algis Budrys.
