The Moon Pool by A Merritt

Presents a story of a terrifying, ancient force unleashed in the South Pacific; 'fantasy, romance, adventure; something of mystery, something of the supernatural.'
"Students of early science fiction will welcome the University of Nebraska Press's series Bison Frontiers of Imagination"—Times Literary Supplement
“First published as a novel in 1919, this path-breaking genre piece was praised by the New York Times. . . . Merritt was among the first . . . to speculate in fiction about the implications of the new science, archeology, and anthropology at the turn of the century. . . . An entertaining ode to love and sacrifice.”—Kirkus Reviews
“Fantasy, romance, adventure; something of mystery, something of the supernatural; a weaving together of ancient legends, older by far than any historical records, with the scientific knowledge of the present day; and side by side with these, yet far above and mastering them, the power of human love and willing self-sacrifice, the whole held together by a shimmering, glittering web of imagination . . . It marks the debut of a writer possessed of a very unusual, perhaps one might almost call it extraordinary, richness of imagination.”—New York Times Book Review
A. Merritt (1884–1943), one of the most popular American writers of science fiction and fantasy in the early twentieth century, is the author of several classic tales, including The Ship of Ishtar and The Face in the Abyss.
