William Michael Mott
If you missed William Michael Mott on the History Channel's series, Ancient Aliens​, "Hidden Pyramid" episode, there's no need to get all weepy. The episode will air Friday, 24 April 2015 at 9pm CST and Saturday 25 April 2015 at 11pm CST. Mike will be discussing elements of his books Caverns, Cauldrons, and Concealed Creatures and This Tragic Earth: The Art and World of Richard Sharpe Shaver as part of the episode. This marks at least Mike's second appearance on Ancient Aliens (if they didn't sneak one in on us...) and we couldn't be more proud to have Mike as part of the Grave Distractions Publications family. If you can't get enough of the musings of William Michael Mott, tune in every Saturday to Outer Edge Radio where Mike co-hosts the show with Tim Schwartz.

This Tragic Earth:The Art and World of Richard Sharpe Shaver is Now Available in eBook Formats

This Tragic Earth Art and World of Richard Sharpe Shaver Book CoverGrave Distractions Publications is proud to announce the publication of the sole Wm. Michael Mott's This Tragic Earth: The Art and World of Richard Sharpe Shaver. This Tragic Earth gives a unique, long-overdue look into the art and mind of Richard S. Shaver. Digital and print editions are available for this book at the link above.

Featuring a facsimile of an actual hand-made book proposal by Shaver, sent to Ray Palmer, this volume also contains literally hundreds of other, lost images taken from one-of-a-kind "rogfogo" or "rock books" by Shaver. These images, taken from photo exposures of slices of solid rock, contain eerie and inexplicable images of people, monsters, creatures, structures, and devices—images which defy all rational explanation. Shaver claimed that these "books" were records left in crystal holography by an ancient race of beings who preceded man on this planet, or were contemporary with our ancestors.

Also featured are long-lost articles on how to find and create such images, written and illustrated by Shaver himself, along with unique correspondence, interviews, and other material that give a unique look into the mind and theories of Richard S. Shaver, his one-of-a-kind "outsider artwork", and his infamous "Shaver Mystery". Much of the additional material has not been seen for decades, and when it was available, it was not widely circulated and was only seen by a few people, particularly the explanations and theories which were written by Richard Shaver for science-fiction fanzines of the 1940s.

The contents of this book should interest anomalies researchers, Forteans, paranormal enthusiasts and investigators, science-fiction historians and fans, and all those interested in "outsider art". Nothing as utterly dedicated to Shaver's own thoughts and artwork has ever been produced before.
