First Edition, First Printing. The author, born Edward Harold Physick, adopted the name "E.H. Visiak" after 1910. He wrote literary criticism, poetry and three novels, of which MEDUSA is his outstanding triumph. Supernatural horror novel. "The tale moves gradually, in a slow crescendo, from its beginnings in a normal-seeming nineteenth-century England through adventures at sea and finally into a literal pit of fantasy - a vast circular hole occupied by the eponymous sea monster which eats sexually aware men alive. The protagonist is a young boy who remains sexually innocent, though haunted by other guilts: he survives while his companions perish." - Clute and Grant, The Encyclopedia of Fantasy (1997). "Degenerate survivors of Atlantis, psychoactive rays; unspeakable horror! WEIRD!" - John Ruyle.
