Episode #88 1930s Sci-fi Shambleau by Catherine L Moore w/ guests SF historian Cora Buhlert and author Greg Cox)

In November 1933 Weird Tales featured the first published science
fiction of Catherine L. Moore, who wrote under the name CL Moore.
This story Shambleau features a very cosmic horror style vampire
and space rogue decades before Han Solo became a thing. This
story has the elegant purple prose that Lovecraft was known for
while at the same time featuring themes that would be considered
lurid today.


In this episode we look into CL Moore’s life, growing up in my
home state of Indiana, going to college walking distance from my
childhood home, her first adventures in publishing, and then of
course we talk about the story.


Featuring Cora Buhlert who won a Hugo award for best fan writer
since we recorded this episode, and bestselling author and editor
Greg Cox.
