Armchair fiction presents extra large paperback editions of the best in classic science fiction novels. "The Shaver Mystery," by Richard S. Shaver, is perhaps the most controversial piece of science fiction ever written. Supposedly a true story, it is widely considered to be the nadir of science fiction literature, the "Plan 9 From Outer Space" of the whole genre. Some people considered Richard Shaver to be a genius, but most others considered him and his editor, Ray Palmer, to be two of the biggest blights to have ever entered the field of professional science fiction writing. Shaver's wild ramblings are a thing to behold. We have never encountered an author who could write such consistently overlong sentences that appeared to make no sense whatsoever. Genius or nut-case? You decide. Here in Book One, are the first three parts, just as they appeared in the June, 1947 issue of Amazing Stories: "Formula from the Underworld," "Zigor Mephisto's Collection of Mentalia," and "Witch's Daughter." Also included in Book One is the mind-boggling, yet essential "How to Read the Shaver Alphabet," which pertains to Book Two as well. "The Shaver Mystery" is presented in paperback for the first time. Heaven help us.
