Lately I’ve been listening to some stories by Robert Sheckley (1928-2005), who Neil Gaiman calls “Probably the best short story writer during the ’50s to the mid-1960s working in any field.” The stories are very funny and clever, similar in tone to Douglas Adams. Here’s a list of what’s online:
(I’m still in the process of making them all links.)
From X Minus One (full cast adaptations from 1950s radio)
| “A Wind is Rising” | “Early Model” | “Protection” | “Bad Medicine” | “Trap” | “Death Wish” | “Grey Flannel Armor” | “The Native Problem” | “Skulking Permit” | “Something For Nothing” | “The Seventh Victim” | “The Lifeboat Mutiny” |
From Librovox (stories read by volunteers)
| “Hour of Battle” | “Cost of Living” | “Forever” | “Warrior Race” | “Ask a Foolish Question” | “Beside Still Waters” | “Leech” | “Warm” |
| “Petrified Forest” | “On An Experience in a Corn Field” |
I do not read but listen only to books.I have just found Robert Sheckley and love his work. I listen through Beyondpos an android app. I am having trouble finding through this app all his work that is available for free online.
Do you have the des feed addresses I could add to beyond pod
Thank you
