The Face In The Abyss
by A. Merritt
While searching for the lost Inca treasure in South America, American mining engineer Nicholas Graydon encounters Suarra, the maid of Yu-Atlanta's Mother Snake. He leads Graydon to the abyss, where Nimir, the Lord of Evil, is imprisoned in the face of gold. Graydon's friends turn their faces into golden globules due to their greed, while they are rescued by Suarra and Mother Serpent, whom he joins in their battle against Nimir.
