Requirements: ePUB reader, 12.4Mb
Overview: Richard Sharpe Shaver (1907 – 1975) was an American writer and artist.
He achieved notoriety in the years following World War II as the author of controversial stories that were printed in science fiction magazines (primarily Amazing Stories), in which he claimed that he had had personal experience of a sinister, ancient civilization that harbored fantastic technology in caverns under the earth. The controversy stemmed from the claim by Shaver, and his editor and publisher Ray Palmer, that Shaver’s writings, while presented in the guise of fiction, were fundamentally true. Shaver’s stories were promoted by Ray Palmer as "The Shaver Mystery".
During the last decades of his life, Shaver devoted himself to "rock books"—stones that he believed had been created by the advanced ancient races and embedded with legible pictures and texts. He produced paintings based on the rock images and photographed the rock books extensively, as well as writing about them. Posthumously, Shaver has gained a reputation as an artist and his paintings and photos have been exhibited in Los Angeles, New York and elsewhere.

CULT OF THE WITCH QUEEN
THIS is a tale of two planets, Earth and Venus, and of a man who found himself the plaything of the ugliest and oldest woman on the two worlds. She looked like a witch, and a capable witch has spells. This witch had had six centuries to study the ancient magic: the incredibly antique mechanisms left by the race whom we remember in vague myths only as—the Gods.
THE SEA PEOPLE
A man who has tasted the incredible delights of the antique stim mech doesn’t get much kick out of boogie woogie. Now that I seemed to have lost all hope of rejoining Ceulna, if she lived, I didn’t care much what happened next. But somehow I knew plenty would happen. It always did—to me. I guess you remember Ceulna, the Venusian dancer who rescued me from Hecate’s dungeon…
GODS OF VENUS
LEFERN, Amazon city of the Tuon Confederation, hangs upon the mighty sky-piercing forests of Venus, flings a pearlhung web of magic across the massy limbs and green billowing vastness of growth, as far as an eye can see…
TITAN’S DAUGHTER
THE fires of relentless war had burnt a desert of scars around once-beautiful Ekippe, gigantic city of the marsh-men of Southern-Venus.
For fifty miles the green of the cities’ farmlands and gardens had been seared and blasted till the soil was no longer earth. The smoking surface was covered deep with still-hot, new-formed glass!..
THE SUN-SMITHS
When something goes wrong with a Sun, it is the duty of the Spayderines to set it aright. Earth’s sun had gone wrong ages ago, and its human birthright stolen from it by degenerates.
