'If you get this, I'm in a jam that promises some action', so reads the note from red-haired, rattle-brained Vic Butler, sending Pete Grahame into a land of shadows and lost souls after his friends.

Sewell Peaslee Wright's 1931 story is a rousing hard-SF adventure into an unseen dimension. Vivid, driven golden-age pulp. Read it for a colorful pulp yarn where a scientist's cryptic summons leads a friend into a shadowy world just beyond ordinary perception, among the strange beings called the infra-medians.
