The Artificial Honeymoon by H. Bedford–Jones

A Certain Young Man Finds Dying a Profitable Business. The secret of one of the strangest professions in the world. An Adventure of a Professional Corpse - The Artificial Honeymoon by H. Bedford–Jones. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast. I have to admit, I’d never heard of H. Bedford-Jones until I came across this story—and what a discovery! As I started digging into his background, I was amazed to learn that he wrote nearly 200 novels, 400 novelettes, and 800 short stories across a wide range of genres, often under various pseudonyms. No wonder he earned the nickname “King of the Pulps!” Born in 1887 in Napanee, Ontario, Canada, Bedford-Jones became a naturalized U.S. citizen in 1908. Just six years later, his first novel was published, marking the start of a remarkably prolific career. And as if that wasn’t enough, he also worked as a journalist for the Boston Globe and even wrote poetry. A true literary powerhouse! Turn to page 4 of the July 1940 issue of Weird Tales to dive into the featured cover story, The Artificial Honeymoon by H. Bedford–Jones… Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, For ages Mankind labelled Mercury a dead world—a red-hot, seething outpost of hell.
