Life magazine described the Shaver Mystery as "the most celebrated rumpus that rocked the science fiction world." Its creators said it was a "new wave in science fiction." Critics called it "dangerous nonsense" and labeled its fans the lunatic fringe. Whatever else the Shaver Mystery was, it became a worldwide sensation between 1945 and 1948, one of the greatest controversies to hit the science fiction genre. Today these stories of the remnants of a sinister ancient civilization living in caverns under the Earth are an all but forgotten sidebar to the historical record. The Shaver Mystery began as a series of science fiction yarns in Amazing Stories nearly 70 years ago. The men behind it, Ray Palmer and Richard Shaver, were derided and seldom understood by a fandom that did its best to sweep them under the carpet of history. Though Ray Palmer was one of the earliest and biggest names in SF fandom, credited with many firsts in his field, his fannish brethren have roundly ignored him, thanks to the Shaver Mystery. What is the truth behind these men and their "mystery"? This is the question writers and editors that promoted the Shaver Mystery try to answer as they reveal the behind-the-scenes story of the phenomenon known as "Shaverism."

Armchair fiction presents extra large paperback editions of the best in classic science fiction novels. “The Shaver Mystery, Book Three” by Richard S. Shaver is another installation of some of the most bizarre science fiction ever written. This latest volume contains two of Shaver’s most outrageous novels, “Thought Records of Lemuria” and “The Masked World.” Shaver’s “true” stories caused quite a controversy when they first appeared by in the 1940s. But the question remains…was Shaver telling the truth, or was he just a literary madman. Reading his fiction is like nothing you’ve ever experienced. He and Ed Wood surely would have been the best of friends. A must for all aficionados of the truly weird. These Shaver Mystery tales are presented in paperback for the first time.

In 1960, science fiction writer Richard Sharpe Shaver discovered "rock books" on his Wisconsin farm. He concluded they were not just rocks, but intelligently designed documents, the recorded history of an ancient, pre-deluge civilization. For 15 years he decoded the rock book texts and images he found embedded in stone, and soon began painting and photographing what he found. It was an alien world that few other than Shaver could see. Shaver also wrote essays to compliment his paintings. He wrote of the people and customs of Earth's pre-history-the half human, half fish Mermen and women-documenting their daily lives in intimate detail. He left behind a body of work that has languished in obscurity for decades. Richard Toronto has gathered together the largest collection of Shaver's art ever to see print. Presented in two volumes, with more than 300 illustrations, Rokfogo: The Mysterious Pre-Deluge Art of Richard S. Shaver presents the paintings, photographs, and essays that made up Richard Shaver's ante-diluvian cosmology. Now considered an Outsider artist, Shaver was a pulp fiction writer during Amazing Stories' golden era. Shunned by mainstream science fiction fans for his radical ideas, Shaver died in obscurity in 1975, leaving behind his legacy of the "sensual art of the ancients."

Armchair fiction presents extra large editions of the best in classic science fiction novels and short stories, complete with original illustrations. Truth be told, it took us over two years to garner enough courage to come out with another "Shaver Mystery" volume. We have a total of ten on the drawing board (oh joy!) and previous volumes have all been very successful. However, it takes a special frame of mind and a certain kind of fortitude to proof-read this stuff; so we kept putting off new Shaver volumes in favor of, shall we say, more "normal" kinds of science fiction (like Professor Jameson!). You see, it can be a real brain strain when you immerse yourself into the wild ramblings of Dick Shaver. But here it is...finally...our seventh edition of "The Shaver Mystery." In this volume you get three more top tales (by Shaver standards that is), including the further "true" exploits of everyone's favorite underworld bigwig, Mutan Mion, in one of Shaver's better tales, "Invasion of the Micro-Men." You'll also be treated to his under-the-ocean flights of fancy in "Mer-Witch of Ether 18." Then we top it all off with one of Shaver's most bizarre epics, "The Tale of the Red Dwarf Who Writes with His Tail," which I'm told by my assistant editor is actually a pretty cool story--in spite of its lurid title. As if all that isn't enough, we've also thrown in Shaver's own dictionary of the Mantong language, as well as an obscure Shaver short, "A Witch in the Night."--Greg LuceEditor-in-ChiefArmchair Fiction

Armchair fiction presents extra large paperback editions of the best in classic science fiction novels. Well, here we are with book six of our "Shaver Mystery" series. There's no question that the stories and articles included in this edition are as wild as anything Dick Shaver ever wrote--so you won't be disappointed! First off is an editorial from the July, 1958 issue of Fantastic. That entire issue was dedicated to the Shaver Mystery, featuring a new Shaver novel, "The Dream Makers" (included here) two articles about the alleged "truth" of Dick Shaver's wild claims (included here), as well as an article about how to decipher Shaver's "Mantong" alphabet (also included here). From the Ray Palmer era we've also thrown in an additional vintage Shaver Mystery tale, "The Land of Kui," which dates back to the December, 1946 issue of Amazing Stories. We never thought we'd be doing more than a handful of Shaver Mystery volumes, but the response to our first five editions has been so good (some might say so disturbing) that we have plans for at least (heaven help us) ten total volumes, perhaps more. So kick back and loosen up the chains of your imagination--you'll need to--as you enjoy the wild and woolly worlds of Richard S. Shaver.

This book is Childress' thorough examination of the early hollow earth stories of Richard Shaver, and the fascination that fringe fantasy subjects such as lost continents, UFOs, and the hollow earth have had on people. Shaver's rare 1948 book, I Remember Lemuria is reprinted in its entirety, and the book is packed with illustrations from Ray Palmer's Amazing Stories issues of the 1940s. Childress discusses famous hollow earth books and delves deep into whatever reality may be behind the stories of tunnels underground.

This trip was ordered by the great Elders of Nor themselves. I was to capture and bring to trial that unwise but accomplished fiend, Sathanas, Ruler of the planet Satana. Sathanas, though a younger member of the God Race, had started his own private revolt against all authority - and the dicta of the Elders are not so lightly flaunted by any upstarts a few score centuries old.

I was sitting in a small upstairs room attempting to write this narrative of my education in disability awareness. For over 30 years I have been involved in working with individuals with disabilities as a coach and administrator on the intercollegiate, national and international levels. When I started this journey, at a small, Midwestern University, I had no idea of what I was getting myself into. Now that I have traveled this educational path I have come to realize that it may have been one of the most important learning experiences of my life, an experience I feel needs to be shared. In putting this narrative together, one very real issue I struggled with was how to deal with the present climate of political correctness. My decision was to tell the stories as I remember them, in the language as I remember. To do differently would change and compromise the actual experience. Thus, this is a sharing of feelings and experiences that a coach and his athletes spent in timeless hours in a gym practicing and competing, of thousands of miles traveled throughout the United States and beyond, and days and nights spent together in laughter and frustration.

THIS TRAGIC EARTH: The Art and World of Richard Sharpe Shaver, is finally back in print in a new, expanded and improved edition! HIS TRAGIC EARTH gives a unique, long-overdue look into the art and mind of Richard S. Shaver. Featuring a transcription of an actual hand-made book proposal by Shaver, sent to Ray Palmer, this volume also contains 190 images including over 100 lost images taken from one-of-a-kind "rogfogo" or "rock books" by Shaver. These images, taken from photo exposures of slices of solid rock, contain eerie and inexplicable images of people, monsters, creatures, structures, and devices-images which defy all rational explanation. Shaver claimed that these "books" were records left in crystal holography by an ancient race of beings who preceded man on this planet, or were contemporary with our ancestors. Also featured are long-lost articles on how to find and create such images, written and illustrated by Shaver himself, along with unique correspondence, interviews, and other material that give a unique look into the mind and theories of Richard S. Shaver, his one-of-a-kind "outsider artwork," and his infamous "Shaver Mystery." Much of the additional material has not been seen for decades, and when it was available, it was not widely circulated and was only seen by a few people, particularly the explanations and theories which were written by Richard Shaver for science-fiction fanzines of the 1940s. In addition, new transcripts of the complete text of material which only appeared in scanned-text form before are now included here, for ease of reading. Shaver's own peculiarities of writing style and syntax are faithfully transcribed. The contents of this book should interest anomalies researchers, Forteans, paranormal enthusiasts and investigators, science-fiction historians and fans, and all those interested in "outsider art." Nothing as utterly dedicated to Shaver's own thoughts and artwork has ever been produced before. Thanks very much for your interest in this book, and happy reading!
