The Moon Pool

The Moon Pool is a fantasy novel by Abraham Merritt (1884–1943). It originally appeared as two short stories in All-Story Weekly: "The Moon Pool" (1918) and its sequel, "Conquest of the Moon Pool" (1919). These were then reworked into a novel released in 1919. The protagonist, Dr. Goodwin, would later appear in Merritt's second novel The Metal Monster (1920).

Although Merritt did not invent the "lost world" novel—he followed in the footsteps of Bulwer-Lytton, Conan Doyle, Burroughs, and others—this work extended the tradition.

Famous quotes containing the words moon and/or pool:

    Ms. Dog wouldn’t give them her buttocks.
    She would moon at them.
    Just at the killers of the dream.
    The bus boys of the soul.
    Or at death
    who wants to make her a mummy.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
