Author Description

This facsimile reprint of a bygone era features funky art and conceptual material from the early 1980s, before the Internet and computer graphics. Hand-drawn artwork draws the reader in to what is essentially a complete listing of all the old Hollow Earth writings in existence, many dating back to the early 20th century. From the Introduction by Gray Barker: "We were impressed with Thor's frequent submissions to the newsletter of the Hollow Earth Research Association, 'The Hollow Hassle.' His knowledge of the Hollow Earth, ufology, occultism, and folklore is vast. He is continually working on new projects, and we are proud that he selected us to publish this compendium. "His other Hollow Earth book, 'Mount Shasta: Home of the Ancients,' is absolutely essential for anyone exploring the subject. In that exhaustive study, he has researched all known writings on Mt. Shasta, listing them for the reader. "Now Thor has done the same thing for students of subterranean lore with this book, Valiant Thor's Guide to the Inner Earth. "The work of Valiant Thor and his Venusian associates has obviously been important in helping mankind through a difficult time. What we will ultimately do with the many concepts that Thor gifted Tesla and others is, of course, still up in the air. But, so far, so good... "I ask my readers now to continue supporting the endeavors of these courageous Venusians. May we all someday experience a world free of fear and war, and enjoy our birthright as free citizens of this galaxy."
