Early futuristic “adventure” tale written in 1897, depicting the—then—far-flung world of the year of 1947.

A double adventure written at the end of the nineteenth century, somewhat in the theme of Jules Verne’s Twenty Thousand Leagues under the Sea and Journey to the Center of the Earth, The Great Stone of Sardis tells of a submarine trip to reach the North Pole and a project to examine the center of the Earth by boring a deep shaft. What they find at the core of the planet surprises the enterprising explorers.

Frank R. Stockton (1834–1902) was an American writer and humorist, best known today for a series of innovative children’s fairy tales that were widely popular during the late nineteenth century.

Stefan Rudnicki is a Grammy-winning audiobook producer and an award-winning narrator who has won several Audie Awards and been named one of AudioFile’s Golden Voices. A longtime fan of Weird fiction, and of Robert W. Chambers in particular, Stefan’s dramatic adaptation of The King in Yellow received the Madolin Cervantes Award from the Society of Stage Directors & Choreographers and was staged by him at the Donnell Library Center in New York City.

Reviews

“The conception was bizarre and grotesque enough, but the author developed it into a fascinating tale, incidentally injecting into it a good deal of drollery and fun. The tale shows that aspect of Stockton’s genius that is inclined to the whimsical and chimerical, as well as the mechanical turn of his invention.”
