Recently posted over at The Fix: Short Fiction Review is my latest Rocket Science column, covering Hugo-winning short fiction from 1966 and 1967.
From 1966: “”Repent, Harlequin!” Said the Ticktockman” by Harlan Ellison. Ellison reads this himself in the Voice from the Edge: I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream audio collection. |SFFaudio Review|
From 1967: Novelette: “The Last Castle” by Jack Vance. I don’t know of an audio version of this one. The only Jack Vance audiobook I know of is from Wonder Audio – “The Devil on Salvation Bluff”. I’d certainly welcome a Vance audio collection – he’s great.
Also from 1967: Short Story: “Neutron Star” by Larry Niven. The only audio version of this one that I’m aware of is from an old Books on Tape version of Niven’s Beowulf Schaeffer collection called Crashlander. Long out of print, and I can’t think of any other versions.

I remember hearing an audio-theatre adaptation of Vance’s story “The Moon Moth”.
Also, I’ve heard that audibook versions of Vance’s “Lyonesse” and “Ports of Call” were recorded at some point, but I haven’t been able to track them. I suppose they are out of print.
Thanks, Tim! All worth tracking down, I bet. I’ll see what I can find.
Th Moon Moth was done for the late lamented SEEING EAR THEATRE. No hard-copy exists of it. :(
