The Moon Pool

A. Merritt

Sinossi

A. Merritt’s landmark classic of lost world fiction. The tome that influenced H.P. Lovecraft’s Call of Cthulhu.   Two princesses, one of temptation, power, and naked deceit; one of mercy, trust, and blind truth. Both bound to serve supernatural beings unto death.   Both in love with the same man.   What do you get when you combine the action of Conan the Barbarian and the lyrical vision of The Martian Chronicles?   The Mool Pool recounts the story of a group of adventurers who stumble through a portal into a lost, underground world. A world of incredible science and sublime magic. A world on the brink of war.   The adventurers tip it over the edge.   Can they save themselves?   Can they save the world?   One of the first stories of its kind, A. Merritt’s The Moon Pool will dazzle you until the final page.
