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, Ra...

In "The Shaver Mystery and Inner Earth," author Timothy Green Beckley has collected many stories from a vast wealth of sources on the subject of what is often called "The Inner Earth Theory," which holds that the earth does not consist of molten metal at its core, as modern science tells us, but is instead quite hollow inside, and supports several different races of sentient beings as well as their impressive underground cities. Those cities are said to be linked to one another by underground tunnels with above-ground openings that the occasional surface-dwelling mortal stumbles on to. Much of the information Beckley presents comes from a man named Richard Shaver, a spot welder on the Detroi...
I was working in the studio of Artan Gro when I heard a great laugh behind me. If ever there was derision in a laugh, there was derision in this one. I flung down my gaudy brushes and my palette and turned about in a rageĀto find the master himself, his red cave of a mouth wide open in his black beard. I cooled my temper with an effort; for great indeed is Artan Gro, master artist of Sub Atlan. "I am sorry, Mutan Mion," he gasped, "but I can't control my laughter. No one ever has conceived, much less executed, anything worse than what you have put upon canvas! What do you call it, 'Proteus in a Convulsive Nightmare'?" But Artan Gro could control himself, I was sure. It is one of the things ...

This title is scarce and hard to find these days. Shaver Mystery Magazine originally was published by the Shaver Mystery Club. This newsletter published the first printed stories on UFOs and was a major forum for debates about the occult, Forteans, and Lemurians. As Ray Palmer promoted it: "dedicated to the further study of the hidden truths as presented in the fact-fiction stories by Richard S. Shaver..." In essence, the Shaver Mystery is a collection of stories in which Shaver claimed to have discovered proof of an evil humanity in underground caverns. Shaver portrayed an alien race that resided in Earth's caverns before escaping, leaving behind two distinct populations of offspring: the "Teros," a benevolent group of humanoids, and the "Deros," or "detrimental robots," a vile race who tormented and devoured humans. The Deros were especially brutal to women. The tales encouraged the establishment of Shaver Mystery Clubs. This magazine has been formatted from its original version for publication.

Richard Shaver, in a short period of time, became a legend in the Sci Fi genres of horror and the arcane. He enthralled thousands with his creepy tales of a vast cavern system right below our feet, which he insisted was populated by a mentally impaired race of deformed, sadistic, cannibalistic creatures known as the Dero. And while his bone-chilling accounts were published in pulp science fiction magazines like Amazing Stories back in the 1940s and 1950s, Richard Shaver maintained that each and every declaration he made was ABSOLUTELY TRUE! The Dero, Shaver lamented, were kidnapping surface-dwellers on a regular basis for 'meat and torture.' They had appropriated sophisticated ray machines t...
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 h...
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 be...
