“These tales belong to a class that does not quite include the out-and-out ghost story, but does reach out to the supernatural in the indefinable fashion that we nowadays call psychic without bothering to define what psychic means. This is a perfectly fitting field for fiction of the non-realistic kind, for it does not demand belief but imagination. Algernon Blackwood and ‘Fiona McLeod’ were adepts at this form of story, and are here well represented, together with Jack London, W. T. Stead and others.”—Outlook
