Dean,
    What do you mean by them recruiting Lackeys to "do their dirty work"? Do you mean to say that the Underworlders are all evil, and cannot be trusted? Just wondering, Thanks, Semisi

Russell and Semisi,

Edgar Allan Poe became very ill and died at an early age, and rather suddenly. And yes, he was alluding to the hollow earth in the last two stories he wrote including that unfinished one, so put two and two together, and what do you get?

The Spanish writer Gustavo Adolfo Bequer wrote about underground worlds and shapeshifter beings, as well as goblin types, within them, and he died at an early age, too. Again, put two and two together.

Folklore is not lacking in testimony to the fact that the underworlders recruit topside lackeys to do their dirty work, and this would explain a lot.

The details of both stories are confusing but both seem to end with ships entering some portal at the south pole, a hidden reference to Hollow Earth. The Narrative of Gordon Pym of Nantucket may have actually depicted the ship entering the inner world where its crew encountered the black skinned, black toothed natives in canoes. I think that is how it ended. In fact, the story's unfinished state is what inspired Jules Verne to write a sequel but I don't remember what it was called. In any case, both Verne and Poe were familar with a hollow earth.

> Just listened to an audio book, called the Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket... It was in the list of audio books of a search I did on the Hollow Earth in an App I downloaded on my phone. Chapters 17 and on get to the actual narrative that involve going towards the "south pole". It was awesome until, the story ended abruptly, as it was said the author, Edgar Allen Poe died before finishing it. Those last few chapters were VERY interesting :slight_smile: Have any of you read it? Thanks, Semisi
