John Thomas's Cube by John Leimert

A strange metal cube turns a quiet neighborhood into a battlefield of scientists, preachers, and officials desperate to explain what no one can move, measure, or understand. But the most unsettling possibility is not where the cube came from — it’s who may have wanted it there in the first place. John Thomas’s Cube by John Leimert. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.

Author John Leimert makes his first and last appearance on the podcast today. Why? Because he only had one story published and although we discovered the story in The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction in August 1951 it was first published in the August 1945 issue of The Atlantic Monthly.

What else do we know about John Leimert? Nothing. Let’s turn to page 85 in The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction, John Thomas’s Cube by John Leimert…

Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, As war crushes a city into exhaustion and fear, one man begins hearing the thoughts of a killer whose violent urges grow stronger with every passing night. Each new death brings a terrible question closer to the surface: what happens when the mind receiving the murders finally becomes part of them? Time to Kill by Henry Kuttner.
