May Sinclair 4 hr 19 min read

Where Their Fire Is Not Quenched, The Flaw in the Crystal, The Nature of the Evidence, a garland of subtle, disturbing supernatural tales from a distinguished modern novelist.

May Sinclair's 1923 collection is a landmark of literary supernatural fiction. Eerie, psychologically acute, superbly told. Read it for finely-wrought ghost and weird stories from a major modernist writer, hauntings of love, guilt, and the afterlife rendered with rare psychological depth and modern sensibility, in a distinguished collection that brings real literary art to the uncanny tale.
