Welcome back to the world of Richard Sharpe Shaver. In this volume you’ll get to meet an ancient race of god-like Norwegian folks, frozen while eating dinner thousands of years ago, who are unthawed just in time to finish their dinner and unintentionally help the Nazi’s conquer Norway—sort of.

But Artan Gro could control himself, I was sure. It is one of the things ...

Shaver, is perhaps the most controversial piece of science fiction ever written. Supposedly a true story, it is widely considered to be the nadir of science fiction literature, the "Plan 9 From Outer Space" of the whole genre. Some people considered Richard Shaver to be a genius, but most others considered him and his editor, Ray Palmer, to be two of the biggest blights to have ever entered the field of professional science fiction writing. Shaver's wild ramblings are a thing to behold. We have never encountered an author who could write such consistentl...
