Autorenporträt
Abraham Merritt (1884–1943), commonly known by his byline, A. Merritt, was an influential American editor and writer of speculative fiction, whose literary works are noted for their fantastical and imaginative elements. Merritt flourished as part of the early 20th-century pulp fiction movement and is remembered best for his contributions to the genre of weird fiction. His work 'The Moon Pool' (1919), a novel that combines elements of science fiction and fantasy, explores the discovery of a mysterious and otherworldly entity in the South Pacific. It was first serialized in 'All-Story Weekly' before being published as a book. Its success prompted Merritt to produce a sequel, 'The Conquest of the Moon Pool,' which expanded on his mythic and lost world themes. Another of Merritt's notable works is 'The Metal Monster' (1920), where he ventured into the territory of science fantasy by narrating an encounter with a sentient, shape-shifting collective of metal entities. Merritt's narrative style is characterized by lush, descriptive prose and intricate plotting, features that built and sustained his reputation among his contemporaries and later found a devoted following among lovers of classic science fiction. His influence is discernible in the works of subsequent genre authors who absorbed the intricacies of his visionary creations.
