| − | [[Richard S. Shaver]] (1907 - 1975) was a welder in the early 1930s in a Ford factory in Wisconsin. He later claimed that this was where he first started hearing the voices--voices warning him of vast caves under the earth, where lurk the [[dero]]: prehistoric, devolved cannibals who prey on our minds with ancient super-science. Also in the mix: lost continents, hollow planets, starships the size of a moon, titanic god-like races of beings, and even sexy aliens. | + | #REDIRECT [[Richard Shaver]] [[Category:redirect]] |

| − | It all started with ''[[Amazing Stories]]'', and its editor, [[Ray Palmer]]. [[Shaver]] wrote a story which was the genesis of "I Remember Lemuria". This was reworked by [[Palmer]] into the first story in this series. It was published in the March, 1945 issue of ''[[Amazing]]'' as "I Remember Lemuria". There were over twenty sequels set in the Shaver universe, published between 1945 and 1948.

| − | Some [[fans]] were appalled at [[Shaver]]'s tall tale, a drama which was played out in the letters page of ''[[Amazing]]''. Finally in December, 1948, [[Palmer]] was pressured by management; [[Shaver]] was banned from the magazine, and [[Palmer]] quit as editor of ''[[Amazing Stories]]''. [[Shave]] maintained to the last that his story was true. He remained friends with [[Palmer]] until they both died in 1975.
