The Sea Girl is a 1930 lost world novel by Ray Cummings dealing with a lost world in the deeps of the ocean. As a bonus, there are mermaids. Of a sort. There's also a beautiful but evil undersea empress and atomic submarines. A fine adventure.

In S.P. Meek's 1931 novel The Drums of Tapajos American adventurers find a lost city (with an Atlantis link) in the Amazon rainforest. It's a flawed utopia with a dark side and the tale is interestingly ambiguous. Worth a read for lost world fans.

Not really for the #ShittyCameraChallenge though it *was* taken on a very crappy fixed-focus compact 35mm camera a very long time ago. (The sort of thing we just called ‘a camera’ at the time.)
But this print has been on my study / office notice board for over 20 years. Somehow remains in remarkably decent condition. And all the photos of the wildfire apocalypse reminded me of it. New York, circa 1995. Another world indeed.

Ice City of the Gorgon is a 1948 sci-fi lost world novel. Downed Navy aviators in the Antarctic find a beautiful naked girl encased in a pillar of ice, but it's not ice and she's alive. They find a Gorgon as well. Lots of crazy fun.

Watching a #BenFogle thing on 5 Select, in the buffer zone on #Cyprus between the Greek and Turkish areas of the country. Absolutely fascinating to see some of the abandoned #architecture in #Nicosia. One for lovers of #brutalism as you can see from the clip here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1v64l6s9qZA

Just watched an episode of a #BenFogle #documentary mini-series on TV called #LostWorlds. It was taking a look at #Detroit, a bit of its history, the glory days, then after the factories closed down and the drugs moved in. It finished more positively on the urban farms and groups trying to revitalise the city. Some shocking imagery in there of block after block of abandoned or completely destroyed buildings and a fair bit of urban exploration. Interesting stuff.

Dwellers in the Mirage (1932) is one of A. Merritt's superb lost world tales. An engineer discovers he is a warrior from the distant past, and finds a lost world. This book has affinities with sword-and-sorcery. There is action and there is magic, there are strange gods and stranger beliefs.

Late 19th/early 20th century French sci-fi/pulp fiction is great fun. Charles Derennes's The People of the Pole (1907) is a sci-fi/adventure and a lost world tale, a genre I love. This one adds some original twists.

It's the tale of a voyage to the North Pole by airship. A lost world of dinosaurs is discovered there but the twist is that the dinosaurs kept on evolving.

Henry Kuttner's Crypt-City of the Deathless One, a sci-fi novella published in Planet Stories in 1943.

A lost world story, with killer plants and zombies, a deadly plague and a man haunted by his past.

Clever and exciting. Hugely enjoyable.

Jungle Girl is a 1933 lost world novel by Edgar Rice Burroughs. Given that Burroughs was the creator of Tarzan you might expect this to be a female Tarzan story but it isn’t. It does however have a jungle setting and a jungle girl, of sorts. And it's great fun.

Edgar Rice Burroughs wrote his Caspak Trilogy, starting with The Land That Time Forgot, in 1918. It became an instant classic of the Lost World genre of adventure fiction. It also happens to be one of the strangest of all Lost World tales.
