recently i celibrated my 24th birthday
as a gift i recieved a replica of weird tales Jul/Aug 1923 issue
the opening story a 2 part story called sunfire by Gertrude Barrows Bennett aka Francis Stevens shes a cited influence of both Lovecraft and Merritt
its a story of five explorers who come upon a uncharted island where things aurnt quite as they seem
its a great lost world story
Sounds very much like a Merritt set up!
I hope you enjoy THE SHIP OF ISHTAR. It's really wonderful.

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.
I have never even heard of her.
You should have, if you have been researching early fantasy!
You can see Project Gutenberg Australia for some stuff.

"Francis Stevens was the most gifted woman writer of science-fiction and science-fantasy between Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley and C.L.Moore" (Sam Moscowitz)
