In Dwellers In The Mirage, did you enjoy ...

... a goal-driven journey through a mysterious, perilous world?

The Night Land by William Hope Hodgson

If you were gripped by Leif Langdon's desperate quest through the haunted, alien landscapes of Dwellers In The Mirage, you'll be fascinated by the protagonist's perilous journey across the Night Land—a dying world filled with monstrous entities and strange wonders. Like Merritt's novel, this book keeps you turning pages to see if the hero can achieve his seemingly impossible mission.

... lush, imaginative worldbuilding inspired by myth and legend?

The King Of Elfland's Daughter by Lord Dunsany

If Merritt’s lost city and the mysterious, otherworldly creatures of Dwellers In The Mirage captured your imagination, you’ll be enchanted by the poetic, richly textured world of Erl and Elfland. Lord Dunsany’s legendary prose transports you into a mythic realm where magic and legend breathe life into every page.

... mythology-infused adventures and ancient, fateful magic?

The Broken Sword by Poul Anderson

If you loved Merritt's blend of Norse mythology and lost-world adventure, The Broken Sword will enthrall you with its saga of elves, trolls, and tragic heroes, where the fate of men and gods intertwine. Poul Anderson’s tale evokes the same ancient, mythic resonance you enjoyed in Dwellers In The Mirage.

... epic quests and sweeping battles in a vast, imagined world?

The Worm Ouroboros by E. R. Eddison

If the grand scale—spanning lost cities, secret cults, and titanic struggles—of Dwellers In The Mirage thrilled you, prepare for The Worm Ouroboros. E.R. Eddison’s masterpiece delivers sprawling battles, heroic quests, and larger-than-life characters in a world as vivid and strange as Merritt's.

... mysterious magic that is enigmatic and awe-inspiring?

The Face in the Abyss by Abraham Merritt

If you were fascinated by the enigmatic, dangerous powers at play in Dwellers In The Mirage—from the tentacled Khalk'ru to the ancient magic—then you'll be equally spellbound by The Face in the Abyss, where the magic is mysterious, powerful, and never fully explained, adding to the sense of wonder and dread.
