No Evidence by Victoria Lincoln
A man begins to sense that part of himself has slipped away—only to reappear in Ireland, where he was born. What unfolds is a haunting tale of divided identity and the eerie possibility of living two lives at once. No Evidence by Victoria Lincoln. That’s next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.Author Victoria Lincoln dabbled in science fiction only once, writing a single short story in the genre. She was best known as a novelist, biographer, and true crime author, whose career spanned several decades.Born in 1904 in Fall River, Massachusetts, Lincoln grew up in the same city forever associated with another notorious resident, the infamous Lizzie Borden. In 1967, Lincoln turned her attention to Borden’s story in A Private Disgrace, a deeply researched account of the 1892 murders. The book earned her the prestigious Edgar Award from the Mystery Writers of America, solidifying her reputation as a master of true crime and biography rather than science fiction.Her single sci-fi story can be found in The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction in April 1958 on page 70, No Evidence by Victoria Lincoln…Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, New York was a bad town for robots this year.
