John Uri Lloyd ~8 hr read

A mysterious being delivers a manuscript recounting a fantastic journey deep into the hollow Earth, through caverns of wonder toward the mysteries at the world's core.

John Uri Lloyd's 1895 novel is a celebrated hollow-earth romance laced with occult philosophy, alchemy, and visionary science, lavishly illustrated. Strange, hypnotic, cult-classic. Read it for one of the great esoteric subterranean journeys, a Victorian fever-dream of the world beneath the world.
