A. Merritt's Fantasy Magazine, April 1950

Catalog Description *A. Merritt's Fantasy*, April 1950, Volume 1, Number 3, features two supernatural adventure tales. "The Ninth Life" by Jack Mann (a pen name for E. Charles Vivian) concerns a timeless beauty with mystical power, protected by the sacred Cats of Sekhmet. "The Little Doll Died" by Theodore Roscoe blends voodoo, rebellion, and ancient Haitian mystery. The issue includes editorial notes on the authors: Roscoe, born 1906, is a traveled historian and storyteller who researched Haiti firsthand; Vivian, an English fantasy author best known for "City of Wonder," has been untraceable since 1947. The editor announces the June issue will reprint A. Merritt's "The Face in the Abyss," an adventure through Peru's Cordillera de Carabaya seeking Inca treasure and encountering the Aymaras, plus Eric North's "The Green Flame," featuring a mad scientist attempting global domination through a water-ignition device.
