| Summary | "A Voice from the Inner World" by A. Hyatt Verrill is a science fiction story written in the early 20th century. The narrative revolves around a mysterious disaster involving a steamship, the "Chiriqui", which encounters a dazzling green meteor that leads not to cosmic destruction, but to a terrifying encounter with a race of giant, cannibalistic women in a hidden subterranean world. The blend of science fiction and horror explores themes of survival and humanity in the face of the unknown. The story begins with the "Chiriqui" witnessing a spectacular meteor, only to lose all communication with the outside world and find itself captured by a monstrous machine operated by the giant women. The sole survivor, James Berry, fights to comprehend the bizarre reality he has fallen into, detailing his observations of the city of these beings and their gruesome habits of consuming humans. As he schemes to survive and sends out a desperate message for help, Berry also learns the horrifying truth about the fate of countless other victims. The relationship between power, fear, and survival culminates in a chilling climax, leaving readers with profound questions about human nature and a warning against the unseen threats lurking in our world.
