WHEN Mr. Hiram B. Otis, the American Minister, bought Canterville Chase, every one told him he was doing a very foolish thing, as there was no doubt at all that the place was haunted. Indeed, Lord Canterville himself, who was a man of the most punctilious honour, had felt it his duty to mention the fact to Mr. Otis when they came to discuss terms. 'We have not cared to live in the place ourselves,' said Lord Canterville, 'since my grandaunt, the Dowager Duchess of Bolton, was frightened into a fit, from which she never really recovered, by two skeleton hands being placed on her shoulders as she was dressing for dinner, and I feel bound to tell you, Mr. Otis, that the ghost has been seen by several living members of my family, as well as by the rector of the parish, the Rev. Augustus Dampier, who is a Fellow of King's College, Cambridge. After the unfortunate accident to the Duchess, none of our younger servants would stay with us, and Lady Canterville often got very little sleep at night, in consequence of the mysterious noises that came from the corridor and the library.'

The Destroyers: I'm from the government and I'm here to help ...

Any war is made up of a horde of personal tragedies—but the greater picture is the tragedy of the death of a way of life. For a way of life—good, bad, or indifferent—exists because it is dearly loved....or at least that is the theory. Is freedom always a good thing? Is the act of destroying a way of life to spread 'freedom' something that is always wanted or desired, or is it just another brutal way of imposing slavery and a sad life on people who do not have any wish to change.

Kurt Vonnegut, Jr : Two Science Fiction Stories: A trillion people? Oh dear!

These two stories by Kurt Vonnegut were written almost a decade apart but they are definitely connected. The Big Trip Up Yonder, published in Galaxy Science Fiction January 1954 is a comical yet scary description of what over population was going to do to society after aging was conquered and a simple daily dose of 'anti-gerosone' would keep you forever the same age. Would Gramps EVER take 'That Big Trip Up Yonder', or would his hordes of descendants be stuck with him forever in a tiny apartment!? 2 B R 0 2 B, published in Worlds of If, January 1962 takes this basic situation many years into the future and a solution has been found. The population of the US has dropped from 40 billion to 40 million. Not what everyone would call a pretty solution, but nevertheless a solution to the population problem. I believe this is the type of story it is best to listen to, not describe, so enjoy.

Murray Leinster: 2 SciFi Stories

Murray Leinster, known for his wacky imagination and outrageous plots, presents us with an anti-hero Bud Gregory, who wants just to be left alone to fish and sleep. The problem is that he is the only person with the ability to 'fix' anything, to see atoms intuitively and know what works and doesn't work. And thus is the only person who can solve horrible situations with runaway atomic piles and insidious plots to kill everyone in America. You know, just everyday events. The second story, The Alien asks the question: When two intelligent races meet, must they automatically attempt to destroy each other? The answer is that is sure looks like that is the way it usually happens. Humans are expanding through our galaxy and can see signs of another Alien race doing the same thing. War is inevitable. But perhaps the inevitable can be avoided?

Philip K. Dick - Beyond Lies the Wub: It was a 400 pound slobbering, disgusting blob with tiny piggy

It was a 400 pound slobbering, disgusting blob with tiny piggy eyes that peered dimly out at the world, perpetually looking for a place to lie down and sleep- but maybe it was good to eat? The crew of the spaceship had never seen anything like it before but they were desperate for anything to eat on their return trip. Everything else they had rounded up was on the scrawny side but at least they looked like something a civilized person might eat. But THIS, this 'wub' as the natives called it was disgusting. Oh well why not bring it along maybe things would not get so desperate on the long trip back to earth. At least, let's hope so the captain through to himself.

Harry Harrison: Arm of the Law: Harry Harrison tells us what happens when a robot policeman is sent

It was a big, coffin-shaped plywood box that looked like it weighed a ton. This brawny type just dumped it through the door of the police station and started away. I looked up from the blotter and shouted at the trucker's vanishing back. 'What the hell is that?' 'How should I know?' he said as he swung up into the cab. 'I just deliver, I don't X-ray 'em. It came on the morning rocket from earth is all I know.' He gunned the truck more than he had to and threw up a billowing cloud of red dust. In the box the letter accompanying it said ' ... robots, correctly used will tend to prove invaluable in police work ... they want us to co-operate in a field test ... robot enclosed is the latest experimental model; valued at 120,000 credits.' So begins the saga of Ned, experimental robot policeman.

Philip K. Dick - The Hanging Stanger: A hanging body can be more than just a shocking sight

Ed Loyce lives a happy and normal life is a happy and normal small town in mid America. But today something strange happens. In the late evening, on his way to work at his TV sales and repair shop he passes the tiny one block park in the middle of town and sees something hanging from the only lamp post, something big, almost like a body. Of course it must be something else, probably an ad of some sort or a joke. Not able to discern exactly what it is in the dusk, he parks and walks toward it. It is a body, a human body, a very dead human body of someone he has never seen before. But no one else in town seems to notice it at all. The strangeness and horror grow and expand as he slowly understands why this body was put there.

Rockabye, Grady: When on Pru'ut, you must do as the natives do—and that includes dying as they do!

Pru'ut is a small hot planet, covered with fern forests and swamps, and inhabited by one of the innumerable primate-human species of the universe. It was also inhabited, for a while, by one Terran, James Grady. The natives called their world Pru'ut, Grady called it The Mud Hole. He was the sole human on the planet, and his job was to pay the natives to collect the native plants and have them picked up 3 times a year. The company turned them into an array of wonderful drugs for the rest of the inhabited systems. He loved the job and enjoyed the easy going native life style. The only problem was the bewildering array of native taboos and customs that he had to learn and abide by. Which he did very well until one day when he made a tiny little mistake. Really, it was small and inadvertent, but that did not keep it from being deadly.

Only Silverberg and Garrett could whip up so much action in so short a story so give it a listen.
