List of Unrecorded Horror, Ghost Stories and Weird Tales: Short Story Collections

[flavo5000]

Cool beans. I'm honestly surprised there are still H.G. Wells books still unrecorded.

This prompted me to do some digging.

H.G. Wells books not yet published:
The Wife of Sir Isaac Harman (1914)
The Research Magnificent (1915)
Boon, the Mind of the Race (As: Reginald Bliss) (1915)
Mr. Britling Sees It Through (1916)
The Soul of a Bishop (1917)
Joan and Peter: A Story of an Education (1918)
The Undying Fire (1919)

And of course there'll be a new one every year as copyrights expire.

I think Joan and Peter is actually in the process of being recorded right now.

The rest of them I didn't include because they really contain very little to no fantastical elements (Soul of a Bishop and The Undying Fire do a little but are really more moral/philosophical treatises than anything else). You might want to consider creating a separate HG Wells thread though since I'm sure he's popular enough people would be interested to know what's still unrecorded.

I added the individual short stories from H.P. Lovecraft that currently haven't been recorded (two of them just entered PD this year and the others in the last couple years).

Added a couple more PD Lovecraft stories found digging through Weird Tales as well as all of the Henry S. Whitehead PD stories I could find.

Have you read through this post? viewtopic.php?f=28&t=13513

It should give you everything you need to get started on a Solo recording. You'll basically need to setup the project on the New Projects Launchpad and acquire a meta-coordinator and a proof listener. If you've never recorded anything for Librivox before, I'd strongly encourage you to do a 1 minute test first (https://wiki.librivox.org/index.php?title=1-Minute_Test). Good luck!

I'd like to adopt
H.G. Wells:
The Plattner Story and Others (1897) [77,711 word count]
https://www.gutenberg.org/files/42989/42989-h/42989-h.htm

Probably as a group project. I see 4 or 5 have been recorded in collections, but the rest look new and it would be nice to offer all of them under one cover.

Ok groovy.

I made another non-trivial update. This would included several E.F. Benson words as well as a bunch by Sax Rohmer and a couple others.

[flavo5000]

I added several more to the list including nearly a dozen various author anthologies that would make for good group projects!

[flavo5000]

Updated with a few more authors.

I just found this thread. WOW! Jaw-dropping work, Ben and kadath before you.

I've been gathering all stories I can find by Henry S. Whitehead for a collection (LV has only a few of his stories so far), and discovered this Weird Tales chart which links to every issue by year, and lists every story in each issue by title and author, and which issues have had the copyright renewed:
https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Weird_Tales#:~:text=Weird%20Tales%2C%20first%20issue%2C%20March%201923%20This%20work,Agreement%29%20before%201964%2C%20and%20copyright%20was%20not%20renewed.

It's a great resource for anyone looking for PD fantasy/fiction stories.

I guess you can put me down as BC for
"Henry S. Whitehead Short Stories from Weird Tales 1924-30"

Oops, this thread is not a project, just an idea sharing thread. To record and upload files, you have to find a project in the Readers Wanted forums. Hopefully, some BC's will bring forth those projects based on this research. Love your enthusiasm, though! It's inspiring.

I'm wondering if other individual stories in some of those 1927-1930 issues also had copyright renewed but no one on the page has researched it. If this is true though, it definitely opens up possibilities for the Themed Collections I've been putting together is this thread: viewtopic.php?f=1&t=91246 but I know there's been some concern about using wikisource as a reference before.

[annise]

We just do not use Wikisource for anything that is not automatically PD - we need anything that is relying on failure to renew to be checked by someone we trust. So please do not list Wikisource texts as suggestions.
