vintagegeekculture:The always amazing covers for Abraham Merritt’s eerie horror-fantasy novel, The Dwellers in the Mirage. A. Merritt may be one of the most important and influential horror/adventure novelists of his time. More importantly, he’s one of the most readable, and his books still crackle with lively people in an era when characterization was de-emphasized in genre fiction. Gary Gygax, creator of Dungeons and Dragons, said that A. Merritt was his favorite fantasy author. And there’s a great call out to Dwellers in the Mirage in the Lensman novels people miss today. One of the characters quotes it: “Luka—turn your wheel so I need not slay this woman!” -- source link
