Did Richard S. Shaver's underworlds really exist? We don't think so, but it's obvious that many people did back in the 1940s. When "I Remember Lemuria" was first published in Amazing Stories magazine back in 1945 it caused quite a stir. Shaver swore his writings, though written in story form, were based on factual events and places. Many people believed in Shaver's underworlds. Societies of Shaver believers sprung up all over the country. There was just one problem, Shaver's writings, coupled with Amazing editor Ray Palmer's over-indulgent editing and footnoting, resulted in the biggest hodge-podge of science fiction gobbledy-goop ever produced. You have simply never read anything quite like the long-winded ramblings of Richard S. Shaver. Sometimes deciphering single paragraphs pose a challenge for even the most stalwart of science fiction readers—not because of any high level of literary quality, but because of the sheer lunacy that Shaver injected into them. Accept the challenge if you dare. Shaver's underworlds await you...
