The Moon Pool (Unabridged‪)‬

While on a scientific expedition to the South Sea Islands, Dr. David Throckmartin discovers among ancient ruins the Moon Pool, a portal into Muria, an unknown underground world. After the disappearance of Throckmartin, his wife and two companions, his old friend Dr. Walter Goodwin enters Muria with a rescue party, only to confront a fantastic subterranean world filled with incredible beings, astounding scientific advances, and the worship of the most evil of all creatures, The Shining One. A classic, lost world tale by Abraham Merritt, considered an influence on H.P. Lovecraft’s “the Call of Cthulhu.”
