  • Morgue Ship & Lazarus Come Forth, by Ray Bradbury
    2025/04/01

    Morgue Ship

    This was going to be Sam Burnett's last trip collecting bodies from the debris of space battles in this war. Once all one hundred shelves were filled, they would return to Earth, and he would be back among the living again. The ninety-eighth body, however, was different, unexpected, one of the enemy, important. But more than that, they weren't dead...

    "Morgue Ship" appeared in "Planet Stories," Summer 1944, pages 51 to 57.

    Lazarus Come Forth

    The crew of the Morgue Ship had found something in space that would end the three hundred year war between Earth and Mars. The only problem was getting it back to Earth.

    "Lazarus Come Forth" appeared in "Planet Stories," Winter 1944, pages 107 to 111.

    Ray Douglas Bradbury (August 22, 1920 – June 5, 2012) was an American author and screenwriter. One of the most celebrated 20th-century American writers, he worked in a variety of genres, including fantasy, science fiction, horror, mystery, and realistic fiction.

    Bradbury is widely known by the general public for his novel Fahrenheit 451 (1953) and his short-story collections The Martian Chronicles (1950) and The Illustrated Man (1951). Most of his best known work is speculative fiction, but he also wrote and consulted on screenplays and television scripts, including Moby Dick and It Came from Outer Space. Many of his works were adapted into television and film productions as well as comic books.

    The New York Times called Bradbury "the writer most responsible for bringing modern science fiction into the literary mainstream."

    Raoul Whitfield (November 22, 1896 – January 24, 1945) was an American writer of adventure, aviation, and hardboiled crime fiction.
