The evil magic of the Goddess Diana turned men to stone. Would the power of the strange Eos be strong enough to turn them back to living men?

Like a flash of light the gleaming sword swept down. A fraction of a second later a portion of it no longer gleamed: it was crimson And Queen Dionaea's head bounced down the stairway into her garden of live oaks. A few seconds of thought remained to it before it would be very dead; but her thought was confused by shock -- her eyes rolled uncontrollably while she tried to remember some cantrap or rune from her long association with the Goddess Diana. Desperately she tried to recite the proper abracadabra to stay the swift death that was sweeping through her mind; but it is hard for a head to chant a charm with no body to draw a breath. . . .

Deep within her caverns the great mer-woman longed for death to end her loneliness. But then came a voyager from space -- a man -- also lonely. . . .

Classical Science Fiction awaits the reader with three stories to excite and inspire your imagination. Travel to Venus and Mars and places beyond with these stories: 1.....Gods of Venus...Scientists took down the thought records of the dieing giantress as she whispered to me, I give you the secret of life. 2.....twisted Giant of Mars...It all started as a inter-planetary boxing match between the champions of Earth and Mars. But that was only the beginning! 3.....Swamp-Girl of Venus...On the misty, desolate planet of Venus; to die from the poison needles of the saro tree was the most horrible torture on the planet, but maybe the fifels were worse!

Here is a mystery that stretches from the madhouse to the White House. . .From superstition to scientific knowledge. . .From the forgotten past to the present -- There are those who support Richard Shaver in his honey comb of caverns the world over populated by a demented race known as the Dero, the greatest evil the earth has ever know. This is his story in his own words and others who have undergone the same hellish nightmare. . . -- In this edition of this epic series, Shaver contributes two shocking stories: FORMULA FROM THE UNDERGROUND: THE WOMB OF TITAN and, THE RED LEGION: STRUGGLE OF NATIVE AMERICANS IN THE CAVERNS. . .Plus you will be enthralled by the feature on The Ten Lost Tribes of Israel, is it possible they have gone "underground.?"

IT'S NOT IN YOUR HEAD SHAVER SAID THE MIND ROVERS CONTROL US FROM SECRET UNDERGROUND CAVERNS Since 1943, thousands have thrilled to the accounts of the late Richard Shaver who claimed to have visited a cavern world inhabited by the Dero, a demented group of mutant survivors of an ancient catastrophe who went underground and have caused utter chaos and madness with their death and mental rays aimed at our surface population. Some thought Shaver wickedly mad, while others idolized his courage in presenting the truth about the reality of a subterranean world. This is volume six in the series of 16 volumes total. First published in the 1960s collectors have paid hundreds of dollars for these hard to get volumes. This volume includes two torrid tales by Shaver himself. 1. Entering The Vaults Of The Elders. 2. The Lorelei - Beautiful Female Seducers Who Lure Men To An Untimely End. The maiden known as Lorelei has her origin in German folklore, where she is often portrayed as a Nixe, a fish-tailed creature similar to the Greek idea of the siren. Legend has it that the Lorelei was once a human maiden who sat on the rock waiting for her lover to return. When he never showed up, she threw herself into the river in despair. Ever since, the Lorelei has sat on the rock combing her hair and singing plaintively, causing sailors to wreck their vessels upon the rocks in revenge for her lovers betrayal. This novel size piece by Shaver himself has many twists and turns that will freeze you in time. Also include THE HOLLOW WORLD AND THE TEN LOST TRIBES. . .Are they still on this planet -- underground perhaps? Have they gone off to somewhere "else"? What is the truth about the inner world? Do people live there even today? And rounding out this issue is a Special Introduction by Dennis Crenshaw editor of the Inner Earth Insider.

Armchair Fiction presents "The Shaver Mystery, Book Five." It's another collection of the far-out tales of Richard S. Shaver. It was said that as each year went by, Richard S. Shaver's writings became much more readable, more "relaxed." But "The Fall of Lemuria," a Shaver ditty from 1949, is anything but that. It is truly one of the most phantasmagorical tales you'll ever read. Yet it is strangely compelling in its own Shaverish way. You won't be able to put it down. Here's a sample: It had polluted her mind with its night snooping; it had vandalized the lovely gardens of her mind, so long and carefully cultivated, with ill-intended manipulations which destroyed the basic impulses to-ward beauty, the ever-growing dreams which were the reverse side of reality where the roots of future occurrence were already alive as little seeds of thought. (page 183) As you can probably tell, it's obvious that Richard Shaver isn't for everybody, but he can be likened to that unusual brand of wine (some people might say vinegar) that everybody needs to taste from time to time. Also included in this collection are Shaver's "Quest of Brail" and "Slaves of the Worm." Two more "classics." So get ready for lost underground races, gigantic caverns, rays, outer space beings, disintegrance-all originally published back in the 1940s at the height of the Shaver Mystery phenomenon. Read on, fellow teros, read on....
