Es geht um eine fortgeschrittene Rasse, die sich im Erdkern entwickelt hat. Schließlich erschaffen ihre intelligentesten Mitglieder einen künstlichen Nachkommen. Dieses geschaffene Wesen verkörpert sowohl das Gute als auch das Böse, wendet sich aber langsam von seinen Schöpfern ab und dem Bösen zu. Das Wesen wird entweder Dweller oder der Shining (Strahlende) genannt. Der Dweller hat die Angewohnheit, an die Oberfläche der Erde zu steigen und Männer und Frauen gefangen zu nehmen, die er in einer unheiligen Erstarrung hält und die ihn in gewisser Weise nähren. Es entwickelt sich ein Kampf zwischen den Kräften des Guten und der Liebe und des Bösen, bei dem nicht nur die ganze Welt, sondern vielleicht sogar die Existenz des Guten selbst auf dem Spiel steht. Aber können sich die Kräfte des Guten und der Liebe durchsetzen? Es ist einer der wohl interessantesten lost-World Romane, abenteuerlich, exotisch und voller Spannung.

While searching for lost Inca treasure in South America, American mining engineer Nicholas Graydon encounters Suarra, handmaiden to the Snake Mother of Yu-Atlanchi. She leads Graydon to an abyss where Nimir, the Lord of Evil is imprisoned in a face of gold. While Graydon''s companions are transformed by the face into globules of gold on account of their greed, he is saved by Suarra and the Snake Mother whom he joins in their struggle against Nimir.

The archaeologist hero, Kenton, receives a mysterious ancient Babylonian artifact, which he discovers contains an incredibly detailed model of a ship. A dizzy spell casts Kenton onto the deck of the ship, which becomes a full-sized vessel sailing an eternal sea. At one end is Sharane the assistant priestess of Ishtar and her female minions, and at the other is Klaneth the assistant priest of Nergal and his male minions, representatives of two opposed deities. None of them can cross an invisible barrier at the midline of the ship, but Kenton can. His arrival destabilizes a situation that had been frozen for 6,000 years, and fantastic adventures ensue.

"Dwellers in the Mirage" is a science fantasy novel by Abraham Merritt, in which a war between two races is begun by an evil spirit.

"Creep, Shadow!" is a wonderful horror tale, a perfect sequel, and one of Merritt's last and finest accomplishments.
