Sounds very much like a Merritt set up! I hope you enjoy THE SHIP OF ISHTAR. It's really wonderful. |

recently i celibrated my 24th birthday Try to find,'The Citadel of Fear',by Francis Stevens. Seriously,this is a classic! Anyone who likes Merritt should get this (there was a Paperback Library edition from 1970). She also had one called 'Claimed' which was another classic and several others that I haven't been able to find. Her shorter fiction would make a good collection...hint,hint. |

You should have, if you have been researching early fantasy! You can see Project Gutenberg Australia for some stuff. |

I have never even heard of her. "Francis Stevens was the most gifted woman writer of science-fiction and science-fantasy between Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley and C.L.Moore" (Sam Moscowitz) It's true! |
