	Abraham Merritt - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Merritt married twice, once in the 1910s to Eleanore Ratcliffe, with whom he raised an adopted daughter, and again in the 1930s to Eleanor H. Johnson.
		Merritt's stories typically revolve around conventional pulp magazine themes: lost civilizations, hideous monsters, etc. His heroes are gallant Irishmen or Scandinavians, his villains treacherous Germans or Russians (depending on the politics of the time) and his heroines often virginal, mysterious and scantily clad.
		Merritt's fondness for micro-description nicely complements the pointillistic style of Bok's illustrations, and often serves to highlight and radicalize the inherent fetishistic tendencies of pulp sf.

	PulpWiki: A. Merritt (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Merritt was a pioneering, and popular, science fantasy author, who also demonstrated his considerable fictioneering talent with weird fantasy and mystery stories.
		Abraham Grace Merritt’s day job was as a journalist: first, as a reporter and, later, night city editor for the Philadelphia Inquirer, then as a staffer and eventually editor of Hearst Newspapers’ The American Weekly, a weekly Sunday newspaper supplement.
		Merritt also dabbled in other pulp genres, including weird fantasy (“The Woman of the Wood,” which appeared in Weird Tales) and mystery (Seven Footprints to Satan, which was serialized in Argosy-All-Story).

	The SF Site Featured Review: The Moon Pool
		Abraham Merritt was born in Beverly, New Jersey, January 20, 1884.
		Merritt was also well known for his gardening, specifically his cultivation of rare plants associated with witchcraft and sorcery, a collection which reached 67 species at its peak in the mid-30s.
		Merritt's prose could, I think, be criticized in much the same way as H.P. Lovecraft's, but in both cases, it isn't the "lurid" prose itself that works for the author, but rather the atmosphere it creates.

	Direct Textbooks Price Comparison for ISBN 0380017091: Fox Woman and Other Stories (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Several of the tales boast the lush purple prose of Merritt's early period (as seen especially in his first two novels, "The Moon Pool" and "The Metal Monster"), but all seven are finely written little gems.
		Merritt himself appears as one of the characters in the tale's intro, but the story really concerns a young American soldier who seems to meet a French girl of 200 years ago, whilst he is on guard in his World War I trench.
		Abraham Merritt surely did have a style all his own, and after reading "The Fox Woman and Other Stories," one will feel compelled to admit that that style translated extremely well to the shorter form.

	Amazon.com: The Moon Pool (Bison Frontiers of Imagination Series): Books: Abraham Merritt (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Merritt's fantasy about the Manichean struggle between good and evil is colored by his interest in the mystic Madame Blavatsky.
		But for the most part, Merritt's prose is extremely effective at conveying a sense of alien wonder, and "The Moon Pool" does indeed live up to its reputation as a fantasy classic.
		Merritt was a genius and one should simply ignore the padding and enjoy the brilliant parts.

	The SF Site Featured Review: The Metal Monster
		Readers who are not so entranced with the overuse of the exclamation point and the easily horrified hero may want to take a clue from Stefan Dziemianowicz's fourteen page introduction; they may wonder why it takes so many words to reveal that A. Merritt spent many years editing down this novel.
		Everyone else is going to be wishing a sharp editor had gotten to this manuscript before it saw publication.
		The chilling tale they have to relate is almost too fantastic to be credited, but Merritt knows it is duty to bring the story to the world, to let everyone know the terrible fate they barely escaped and the possibility of other such monsters out there.

	science fiction involving extraterrestrials, 1900-1940
		Similarly, the early American pulp-magazines featured tales, such as those by Edgar Rice Burroughs, often set in a Martian environment extrapolated from Percival Lowell's theories which was no longer scientifically credible.
		However, there were exceptions, including Abraham Merritt's description of a collective alien being made from millions of metal components in The Metal Monster (1920) and his account of an ancient, semireptilian race in The Face of the Abyss (1923), both first published in Argosy.
		Yet it was not until the 1930s, that writers began to give full reign to their extraterrestrial speculations.

	Pohnpei - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Lovecraft, August Derleth and others use this island as a setting or contain references to it.
		Pohnpei's role in the Mythos was inspired by the ruins of Nan Madol (see above), which had already been used as the setting for a lost race story by Abraham Merritt, The Moon Pool, in which the islands are called Nan-Tauach.
		Some Occultists see Nan Madol as connected to the lost continent of Lemuria.
