Face in the Abyss - Hardcover
The tale is brilliant! It is full of weird imagination, marvelous writing, horror, beauty, and it may well be called the most "visual" book ever written for the world of fantasy. It is a grand book with a grand cast of characters. Visualize, if you are able, a monstrous head that cries tears of gold, locked deep in a cavern out of time forgotten. Consider also the incredible, Snake Mother, who is both human and reptilian, and her battle with the thing called the Lord of Evil.

Review:
The Face in the Abyss is a classic from a "golden age" of science fiction. A brilliant tale filled with weird imagination, marvelous writing, horror, beauty, and it may well be called the most "visual" book ever written for the world of fantasy. The Face in the Abyss is a grand book with a grand cast of characters. Visualize a monstrous head that cries tears of gold, locked deep in a cavern out of time forgotten. Consider also the incredible, Snake Mother, who is both human and reptilian, and her battle with the thing called the Lord of Evil. For this particular edition, the artistic talents of Ned Dameron have been obtained for twenty illustrations, most in full color, many as double-spread to complement this wonderful tale. The images perfectly mesh with Merritt's fantasy. -- Midwest Book Review

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. Gustave Dore (illustrator). 1st Edition. Donald M. Grant, Publisher, Hampton Falls, NH, 1991. First Edition/Printing red oversize (7.5" X 10") Hardcover with matching slipcase and color DJ, 289 pp. This is # 113 of only 375 numbered deluxe copies SIGNED by artist Ned Dameron. Lavishly illustrated with full-page color (including 9 double page spreads) and B&W. Abraham Merritt (1884-1943) was one of the most unique and imaginative fantasy/adventure authors and this is one of his best. This book is unread (I read it many years before this book was published and never forgot it) and "as new." The unclipped DJ has a 2" tear on the back, along the valley between spine and back cover; this occurred when first trying to remove book from a tight slipcase; otherwise DJ is fine.
