The Ship Of Ishtar by Abraham Merritt, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters

The Ship of Ishtar is a universally hailed as a classic of the fantasy novel genre. Merritt's writings were heavily influenced by H. Rider Haggard and Gertrude Barrows Bennett (writing as Francis Stevens), with Merritt having \"emulated Bennett's earlier style and themes.\" What sets Merritt apart from the typical pulp author, however, is his lush, florid prose style and his exhaustive, at times exhausting, penchant for adjective-laden detail. | The Ship Of Ishtar by Abraham Merritt, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
