Book Description
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

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
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.

Richards, comes a pulse-pounding YA thriller about a girl who goes on a mysterious scavenger hunt, only to discover that someone knows her worst secret...and is out for blood. I know seven dirty secrets: One caused the fall. One did nothing. One saw it all. One didn't care. One used their head. One played the hero. One was left for dead. On her eighteenth birthday, Cleo receives a mysterious invitation to a scavenger hunt. She's sure her best friend Hope or her brother Connor is behind it, but no one confesses. And as Cleo and Hope embark on the hunt, the seemingly random locations and clues begin to feel familiar. In fact, all of the clues seem to be about Cleo's dead boyfriend, Declan, who drowned on a group rafting trip exactly a year ago. A bracelet she bought him. A song he loved. A photo of the rafting group, taken just before Declan drowned. And then the phone calls start, Declan's voice taunting Cleo with a cryptic question: You ready? As the clock on the scavenger hunt ticks down, it becomes clear that someone knows what really happened to Declan. And that person will stop at nothing to make sure Cleo and her friends pay. Can they solve the hunt before someone else winds up dead? More twisty mysteries by Natalie D.
