The Smoky God is a classic tale of the genre of subterranean literature. A favorite of Amazing Stories publisher Ray Palmer, the Smoky God is the (purportedly true) tale of two Norwegian fishermen, Jens and Olaf Jansen, who sailed their fishing vessel into the Inner Earth, in the year 1829. While in the center of the Earth, they meet a race of advanced giants. Eventually the father and son leave, and Olaf tells his tale, many decades later.

'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.

No scientist has yet been audacious enough to attempt to explain, even to his own satisfaction, toward what lands these winged fowls are guided by their subtle instinct.
