Dwellers in the Mirage

The novel was originally serialized in six parts in the magazine Argosy beginning with the January 23, 1932 issue.

The novel concerns American Leif Langdon who discovers a warm valley in Alaska.

Two races inhabit the valley, the Little People and a branch of an ancient Mongolian race; they worship the evil Kraken named Khalk'ru which they summon from another dimension to offer human sacrifice.

The inhabitants recognize Langdon as the reincarnation of their long dead hero, Dwayanu.

Anthony Boucher and J. Francis McComas described Dwellers in the Mirage as attractive to "those who love wild adventure even when shallowly written.

Fantastic Novels published Dwellers in the Mirage in April 1941 and reprinted it in September 1949.
