'The Smoky God, or A Voyage Journey to the Inner Earth' is a book presented as a true account written by Willis George Emerson in 1908, which describes the adventures of Olaf Jansen, a Norwegian sailor who sailed with his father through an entrance to the Earth's interior at the North Pole. For two years Jansen lived with the inhabitants of an underground network of colonies who, Emerson writes, were 12 feet tall and whose world was lit by a "smoky" central sun. Their capital city was said to be the original Garden of Eden.

Autorenporträt
Willis George Emerson (1856–1918) was an American author, lawyer, and politician, best known for his work in the realm of speculative fiction. His literary contributions are remembered chiefly for his book 'The Smoky God; Or, A Voyage to the Inner World' (1908), which presents a fantastical narrative blending adventure and science fiction elements. In this novel, Emerson spins a tale of a voyage to the Earth's interior, premised on the hollow Earth theory—a concept popular in speculative literature of the time. The story follows the protagonist's encounter with a race of giants living inside the planet and serves as an illustration of period-specific curiosities with polar exploration and science fiction. Emerson's writing, characteristic for its vivid imagination and the blend of scientific intrigue with adventurous storytelling, appealed to the readers of the early 20th century. His flair for merging theoretical concepts with fictional narratives echoed the works of his contemporaries in the burgeoning genre of science fiction. His style often incorporated detailed descriptions and an earnest first-person perspective, aiming to suspend disbelief and invite readers into the extraordinary world he conjured. Emerson's contribution to the genre remains of interest to scholars studying the evolution of science fiction and its roots in early 20th-century literature.
