Delphi Complete Works of A. Merritt (Illustrated)

The fantasy pioneer A. Merritt was an American Sunday magazine editor and a writer of fantastic fiction. Seminal classics such as ‘The Moon Pool’ and ‘The Metal Monster’ had a major influence on the development of science fiction and fantasy literature, primarily through Merritt’s genuine imaginative power, creating surreal, yet hypnotically attractive alternative worlds and realities. He was extremely popular during his life and considered by many as the supreme fantasy genius of his day.
