A.Merritt's "The Face in the Abyss and Other Fantastic Tales" is the seventeenth installment of our "Lost World-Lost Race Classics" series. He squared off with an unimaginable power of the supernatural. After weeks of toiling through treacherous country, Nicholas Graydon and his partners found themselves lost in the Peruvian wilderness on a hunt for lost Incan treasure.

And before long he was compelled to not only prove his worth to the Snake Mother, but to also win a battle of wills between himself and the dreaded Face in the Abyss…
