Reception

P. Schuyler Miller praised the collection as "full of the lush, colorful tapestry of words which Merritt did best of all, and which we lack in most modern science fiction."[1] J. Francis McComas reviewed it favorably in The New York Times, but noted that it represented Moore's "youthful" work.[2]
