SPECIAL SALE! Normally $12.95,
now $10.99. Armchair fiction presents extra large editions of the best in
classic science fiction novels and short stories, complete with original
illustrations. Let's face it, there's not much middle ground when it
comes to the writings of Richard S. Shaver--you either love his stuff or
you hate it. We LOVE it! But in an Ed Woodsian sort of way. 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 his 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, as much fun as Shaver's
tales can be in their own "special" way, it can be a real brain strain
when you really immerse yourself into his wild ramblings. 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 what is certainly 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.” So
whether you end up loving Shaver or not, we're certain you'll never
read anything quite so unique as the "true fiction" of Richard Sharpe
Shaver. Enjoy! —Greg Luce Editor-in-Chief Armchair Fiction All sales
