Editorial Reviews

Product Description
ONLY FULLY AUTHORIZED EDITION OF THIS RARE MANUSCRIPT It has been ordained that a select few must from time to time pass over the threshold that divides a mortal's present life from the future. Written well over a century ago, John Uri Lloyd was a visionary who spoke of far distant worlds, dead civilizations, other dimensions and in particular, a world few of us will ever get to visit. . . a world hidden beneath our feet inside the earth. Inspired by the fantastic -- in particular the art of alchemy -- the author reveal in this long lost manuscript how he joined a secret society and was introduced into the sphere of mysticism. A part of this spiritual journey included the opportunity to establish contact with a super-human, sightless being, inside a cave in Kentucky. Together they were transported to another realm filled with magic and wonderment. Some have placed it in the catagory of Alice in Wonderland...where does the mind magic start and end? You decide.

About the Author
Little is known about the author except that he claimed to be an Alchemist and a member of several Secret Societies - which was the reason he was allowed to seek out a supernormal being with extrasensory powers who guided him in his enlightening adventure.

4.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Story, Well Written, Flawed Typography, August 7, 2007

By	Jeffrey Ziegler - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Lloyd's classic story about a truth seeker who finds himself escorted into the nether regions of inner earth ranks high on the list of enjoyable/fantastic tales. Written in a masterful, albeit a bit pedantic, style the book is unfortunately absolutely littered with typos, misplaced punctuation and various other typographic sins that detract from the reading experience. Old hardcover editions sell for a strong premium, so I guess we are stuck with this version. Perhaps the publisher will correct all the errors before reprinting. I hope so.

The book is nicely illustrated with surprisingly good black and white drawings depicting some of our hero's travels as he journeys ever onward toward his unknown, but inevitable, future. By all means buy this book and ignore the flaws. A cult classic, to be sure!
