Abraham Merritt's 1919 novel is a landmark masterpiece of scientific romance and lost-world fantasy. Lush, visionary, unforgettable. Read it for one of the great works of early SF, a shining, malevolent thing from beyond, a subterranean realm of beauty and horror, and Merritt's incomparable dreamlike imagination.
