Shadow World by Ray Cummings
Episode 450
Friday, 7 November, 2025
Two men cross into a mysterious fourth-dimensional world in search of a rare element that could save their own civilization — or destroy another. But the moment they arrive, they discover they are not the only ones with a hidden agenda… and not everyone plans to return alive. Shadow World by Ray Cummings. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.You may be wondering why I haven’t mentioned Rise the wellness drink for some time. A listener gave us a scathing review and said I was shilling for a product of questionable origin. I thought, what if he’s right? So I didn’t take Rise for to see what would happen. Two weeks later in the middle of the night I woke up to horrific diabetic neuropathy pain and couldn’t go back to sleep. Two nights later, same thing. So I started taking Rise again and I will never stop. No more pain! You can give us a 1 star review and you can think whatever you want to think even though you have never taken it. I take Rise, and I know, I don't think or hope it works, I know it works for me. No more pain, more energy, I feel better when I take Rise and I’m telling you about it because I know it works. I don’t just recommend Rise, I depend on it to be pain free. Try it for yourself, there’s a link in the description and on lostscifi.com. 🍹Rise - https://bit.ly/45So7YrToday’s story comes from one of the most influential early architects of the genre, Ray Cummings — a former assistant to Thomas Edison, and one of the first writers to explore parallel dimensions and scientific speculation in popular fiction. Published in Thrilling Wonder Stories in December 1939, Shadow World imagines a hidden reality that exists beside our own, vibrating at a different rate, unseen but real — and it asks what might happen if we found a way to step into it. We will discover the fourth dimension on page 80, Shadow World by Ray Cummings…Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, A routine bank delivery turns into a night of sinister secrets when a young clerk visits a wealthy recluse in the lonely hills of West Virginia.
