Chester S Geier Science Fiction Short Story From the 1940s The Venus Evil The Early Days of Sci Fi

In the sweet Venusian spring, when iridescent butterflies swarmed and deer-things scampered, it was both necessary and good for Richard Farris to kill George Pearce. The Venus Evil by Chester S. Geier, that’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.

Another day, another author making his debut on our podcast. Chester S. Geier. He was born in 1921 in Stevens Point, Wisconsin. He wrote about 80 short stories, more than half of them in the 1940s. His first paid published story was, A Length of Rope, in 1941 and his last short story, The Astral Exile, was published in 1953. We know very little about him but we know that he was deaf from the age of twelve.

And I know that I love this story. It was published in the summer of 1947 about the time of the Roswell incident in Roswell, New Mexico. To this day some believe that an extraterrestrial spacecraft crash landed near Roswell and that aliens were aboard the spaceship. From Planet Stories Magazine in the Summer of 1947 turn to page 68, The Venus Evil by Chester S. Geier…

Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, Mercury had no atmosphere—everyone knew that. Why was it developing one now? Hot Planet by Hal Clement
