About this listen
First published in Planet Stories in 1944, The Monster Maker is a tense and imaginative science fiction tale that showcases Ray Bradbury’s early mastery of psychological storytelling.
When space travelers Click Hathaway and Irish Marnagan are stranded on a barren asteroid after a catastrophic crash, they find themselves surrounded by horrifying alien creatures seemingly conjured by a ruthless pirate named Gunther. As oxygen dwindles and terror mounts, the men begin to realize a chilling truth: the monsters may not be physical beings at all, but manifestations of their own fears made real through belief and suggestion.
Blending classic pulp sci-fi atmosphere with Bradbury’s signature insight into the human mind, The Monster Maker explores illusion, perception, and the devastating power of fear—proving that the most dangerous monsters are often the ones we create ourselves. Perfect for those who enjoy vintage science fiction with philosophical depth and psychological tension.
