| Summary |
"The Infra-Medians" by Sewell Peaslee Wright is a science fiction novel written in the early 1930s. The story revolves around a man named Pete Grahame, who embarks on a perilous journey to rescue his friend and love interest from a mysterious alternate dimension. The book explores themes of existence beyond human perception and the consequences of scientific experimentation. The narrative begins with Pete receiving a distress signal from Vic Butler, who has unwittingly plunged into a bizarre and shadowy realm called Infra-Media during an experiment meant to explore forms of life beyond human detection. With Hope, Vic's sister, also caught in this strange existence, Pete follows them into this unsettling world where they encounter despairing, non-human beings that desire death and suffering as a form of life. The trio confronts their reality as "Infra-Medians," non-physical beings trapped in a surreal landscape. The storyline intensifies as Pete, Vic, and Hope devise a plan to escape back to their own reality, culminating in a dramatic climax as they battle against the inhabitants of Infra-Media, ultimately seeking a way to return home.
