  • The Appendix N Podcast - Episode 7 - The Moon Pool by Abraham Merritt

    Merritt. An international group of scientists and explorers investigate a
    mysterious alien being that snatches innocent travelers in the South Pacific
    and ends up discovering a lost underground civilization.

    Merrit, A.: CREEP, SHADOW, CREEP; MOON POOL; DWELLERS IN THE

    MIRAGE; et al

     

    “The most immediate influences upon AD&D were probably de Camp

    & Pratt, R. E. Howard, Fritz Leiber, Jack Vance, H. P. Lovecraft, and A.
    Merrit”

     

    Abraham Merritt

    born 1884, died 1943

     

    Wikipedia names H. Rider Haggard, Robert W. Chambers, Helena

    Blavatsky and Gertrude Barrows Bennett (writing as Francis Stevens) as “heavy
    influences.”

     

    He was a major influence on Appendix N authors H. P. Lovecraft and

    Michael Moorcock. He was referenced in the Lensman series by
    E. E. Smith.

     

    Born in Beverly, New Jersey. Primarily a journalist. Assistant

    editor of The American Weekly from 1912 to 1937 and then
    editor until his death in 1943.

     

    Merritt’s first fantasy story was “Through the Dragon Glass”

    (1917)

     

    The Moon Pool originally

    appeared in All-Story Weekly as two short stories “The Moon
    Pool” (1918) and “Conquest of the Moon Pool” (1919). Later reworked into a
    novel, apparently something of the original story was lost. Writes Lovecraft in
    1934: Merritt is certainly great stuff — he has a subtle command of an
    unique type of strangeness which no one else has been able to parallel. 
    You are absolutely right in considering his original Moon Pool novelette — as
    published in the All-Story for June 22, 1918 — his best work.  The sequel
    — The Conquest of the Moon Pool — was relatively commonplace and tainted with
    the atmosphere of cheap popular fiction.  It is a major crime that many of
    the best touches were taken out of the novelette when it was fused with its
    sequel to form the ultimate book version.
