Who is
Abraham Merritt?
Abraham Merritt (January 20,
1884 – August 21, 1943), who published under the byline A. Merritt, was an
American editor and author of works of fantastic fiction.
Born in New Jersey, he moved
to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1894. Originally trained in law, he turned to
journalism, first as a correspondent, and later as editor. He was assistant
editor of The American Weekly from 1912 to 1937 under Morrill Goddard, then its
editor until his death. As editor, he hired the unheralded new artists Virgil
Finlay and Hannes Bok, and promoted the work done on polio by Sister Elizabeth
Kenny.
His fiction was only a sideline to his journalism career, which might explain
his relatively low output. One of the best-paid journalists of his era, Merritt
made $25,000 per year by 1919, and at the end of his life was earning $100,000
yearly—exceptional sums for the period. His financial success allowed him to
pursue world travel—he invested in real estate in Jamaica and Ecuador—and exotic
hobbies, like cultivating orchids and plants linked to witchcraft and magic
(monkshood, wolfbane, blue datura—and peyote and marihuana).
Merritt married twice, once in the 1910s to Eleanore Ratcliffe, with whom he
raised an adopted daughter, and again in the 1930s to Eleanor H. Johnson. He
maintained an estate in Hollis Park Gardens on Long Island, where he accumulated
collections of weapons, carvings, and primitive masks from his travels, as well
as a library of occult literature that reportedly exceeded 5000 volumes. He died
suddenly of a heart attack, at his winter home in Indian Rock Keys, Florida, in
1943.
