The Invisible Girl by Mary Shelley

A quest for identity meets the shadows of societal perception. As Rosina struggles to be seen, will she reclaim her voice or remain lost in the darkness? The Invisible Girl by Mary Shelley. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.

You may be wondering why this episode of The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast took longer to appear than a ghost at a séance. At the end of The Shunned House by H.P. Lovecraft, we promised you this story. And you probably thought, “Hey, Mary Shelley—the woman who gave us Frankenstein and The Mortal Immortal—must’ve written another bone-chilling, brain-bending slice of early sci-fi, right?”

Then you saw the title: The Invisible Girl. Sounds science fiction-y, doesn’t it? Invisibility! Mystery! Possibly lasers!

Yeah… about that.

Halfway through recording, we realized The Invisible Girl is, well… not quite science fiction. It’s more “Victorian drama with a faint whiff of mystery” than “steampunk invisibility ray.” So we had a choice:

   1.   Stop, confess our literary oopsie, and give you something more sci-fi.

   2.   Finish the story, release it anyway, and throw ourselves at your mercy.

We chose Option 2. Because, frankly, we’ve gotten good at begging. Would you please rate our podcast wherever you can? Five stars if you think we deserve it. See what I mean!

So please forgive us—and enjoy The Invisible Girl by Mary Shelley…

Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, and we promise this one is science fiction! Before David’s startled gaze the newcomer placed his right hand to his left shoulder and removed the left arm. He then proceeded to dismember himself until only a torso, head and one arm remained. The Artificial Man by Clare Winger Harris.
