Book Description
Is Lemuria a real place or the fever dream of crackpots, mystics, conspiracy theorists, and Bigfoot hunters? Below the waters where the Pacific and Indian Oceans lies a lost continent. One of hopes and dreams that housed a race of beings that arrived from foreign planets and from which sprang humanity, religion, civilization, and our modern world. It was called Lemuria and it was all fake. What began as a theoretical land bridge to explain the mystery of lemurs on Madagascar quickly got hijacked to become the evolutionary home of humankind, the cradle of spirituality, and then the source of cosmological wonders. Abandoned by science as hokum, Lemuria morphed into a land filled with ancient, advanced civilizations, hollowed-out mountains full of gold and crystals, moon-beings descending in baskets, underground evil creatures, and a breast-feeding Bigfoot. The history of Lemuria is populated with a dizzying array of people from early Darwinists to conspiracy spouting Congressmen, globetrotting madams, Rosicrucians, Hollow-Earthers, sci-fi writers, UFO contactees, sleeping prophets, New Age channelers, a “Mother God”, and a tequila swigging conspiracy theorist. Historian Justin McHenry provides a thoughtful exploration of how pseudo-science hijacked the gentle Victorian-era concept of Lemuria and, in following decades, twisted it into an all-encompassing home for alternative ideas about race, spirituality, science, politics, and the paranormal.

Book Description
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."

Book Description
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.

Book Description
Armchair Fiction presents e classic science fiction double novels with original illustrations. The first novel, "Warrior of Two Worlds" is by veteran sci-fi writer, Manly Wade Wellman. The wind swept across his face. He did not know his name or his past, nor did he know what world he was on; but as he lay there in his nakedness, a voice came to him--a voice that proclaimed him to be the savior of all Dondromogon. He was the returning spirit of Yandro, the Conquering Stranger, come to life again to defeat the threat of the "Newcomers." But there was more to his past than the mere prophecy of a mighty warrior returned. In his subdued memory, it seemed that he was a man of two planets, drawn through the blackness of space to save a nation from a war of self-destruction and from nefarious ambitions of traitors--traitors that would have him and his followers dead and buried in the caves of a hot-cold world that tottered on the brink of total destruction... The second novel, "Enchantress of Lemuria" is by one of the early masters of modern sci-fi, Stanton A. Coblentz. Will Claybrook had invented a new scientific apparatus called the "Pellucid Depth Ray," and with it he could see images deep inside Earth--literally miles from the surface. It was an amazing principle far beyond x-ray technology. With this wondrous device Will Claybrook set out to visually explore the Earth's interior. But to his astonishment, and far beyond anything he ever expected to find, was his discovery of a lost world inside Earth; and in this vast inner cavern was a city known as Le-Mur. One of its denizens was a beautiful young woman named Ilwanna, daughter of the ruler of Le-Mur. And from the moment he saw her, Claybrook knew this lovely creature was the person he must have. But when set out to explore Earth's underbelly in search of her, little did he realize the formula for disaster he carried with him into his subterranean paradise.
