Description

Abraham Grace Merritt worked as a journalist, magazine editor and author of fantastic fiction. As an author, he was a major influence on H.P. Lovecraft, Michael Moorcock and Karl Edward Wagner.

The People of the Pit, published in 1918, is a bit of departure for Merritt - rather than a heroic story of derring-do, the story deals with a defeated protagonist helpless against a dreadful, alien power.

Stefan Poag adapted this story to a graphic novel format in 2017, almost 100 years from the year Meritt first published the tale.
