For a great hard copy visit NightTimeEditions https://nighttimeeditions.wordpress.com/ and they have many amazing old cult classics on Inner Earth and Occult Fiction.

This Extended Edition is the most complete version you will find.
First published in 1895, this work has survived as a cult book. It starts with an occult student who is surprised by a ghostly, uninvited guest, who came to unveil his past as a member of a secret society which he betrayed; his punishment for this? A journey inside the hollow earth, to slowly abandon his humanity and to be a keeper of knowledge and something else… A journey to ETIDORHPA.

To say this is an early science fiction narrative wouldn’t be enough, to add that this is a fantastic story about an initiate’s journey to the earth’s interior, a compendium of scientific hypothesis that goes from geology to metaphysics, an illustration of the miseries and hopes of men; that would, at least, be a better example to describe this singular work, inasmuch as this great narration contains multiple layers of interpretation.
