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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
