Half laughing, half irritated, and wholly happy in even the part promise of Larry O'Keefe's comradeship on my venture, I arranged a couple of pillows, stretched myself out on two chairs and took up my vigil beside Olaf Huldricksson.
CHAPTER IX A Lost Page of Earth
When I awakened the sun was streaming through the cabin porthole. Outside a fresh voice lilted. I lay on my two chairs and listened. The song was one with the wholesome sunshine and the breeze blowing stiffly and whipping the curtains. It was Larry O'Keefe at his matins:

Merritt was quite popular in his time. The Moon Pool originally appeared in serialized form in 1919 and was an instant hit. The breathless prose seems off-kilter today and the flip racism shines an unflattering light on a less-enlightened time. There are
I swear I read every single word of this, yet I recall nothing of it, and always I was confused when I picked it up again. This book is sand, and my mind is the sieve. I can't even say if the fault lies with it or with me. This doesn't usually happen.

Throckmartin had vanished from a ship in the middle of the endless ocean. The mysterious island of Ponape is where t
From the depths of the South Pacific emerges "the Dweller." American Walter Goodwin leads an expedition to discover what it is--and prevent it from claiming more victims....a mystery and a fantasy from the rich--and unusual--imagination of Abraham Merritt.
Merritt ( 1884-1943 ) was one of the most p
Forests of tree-high mosses spangled over with blooms of every conceivable shape and colour; cataracts and clusters, avalanches and nets of blossoms in pastels, in dulled metallics, in gorgeous flamboyant hues; some of them phosphorescent and shining like living jewels; some sparkling as though with
