Speaking of Ed Wood, Jr., of the seventeen novels of his that I own*, this is the only one where he also served as cover model.

Here is William Lindsay Gresham's life insurance ID card, and his copy of a particularly apt title by Ed Wood, Jr. (Kathleen Everitt was Ed's wife's name.) His books: Nightmare Alley and Monster Midway, fiction and nonfiction respectively.

Seconded. Agreed further that a posh civilization of unknown origin concurrently lives on the inside, its nude inhabitants perhaps fed on honeydew, or bulldozer-size mushrooms.
Point of order.
Would request of the Chairman permission to modify the motion.
Agreed, that the earth, if it is indeed a globe, is accordingly hollow, likely does have a posh civilization of unknown origin living in luxury within,

Flying Saucers! Everybody loves them.
And they're part of the secret history of science fiction as well. Google Ray Palmer, the one who edited Amazing Stories in the 1940s. Or, say the following two words to anyone of a certain age, in the field: "Shaver Mystery."
