Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Abraham Merritt wrote about metal monsters, satanic cults, krakens, dwarves, witches and lost civilizations. His most famous work is The Ship of Ishtar. While both The Moon Pool and The Ship of Ishtar recount exciting adventures, both go deeper than what is typically called 'pulp fiction.' The Moon Pool explores the relationship between cosmic forces of good and evil, where love-manifest through ultimate sacrifice-is the only power strong enough to overcome evil's corruptive twins power and temptation. The Ship of Ishtar, on the other hand, explores man's tenuous relationship with reality and the abstract. Inducted into the Science Fiction and Fantasy Hall of Fame in 1999, A. Merritt's fiction heavily influenced contemporary H. P. Lovecraft, as well as modern authors such as Michael Moorcock, James Cawthorn, Robert Bloch, and Dungeons & Dragons(c) co-creator Gary Gygax.
