Octavo, pp. [1-10] [1-2] 3-184 [185] [186: blank] [note: first leaf is a blank], six inserted plates, original decorated red cloth, front panel stamped in black and blind, spine panel stamped in black, top edge plain. First edition. According to Blanck, this red cloth variant is a presumed remainder binding. Collects seven stories. Howells is an important bridge author in the evolution of American SF. "In these stories Howells well illustrates the culmination of the development of the 'ghost story' toward a form of science fiction. Like James and Bierce, he suggests that each incident is the creation of an imagination dominated by a single idea; yet he carries the stories further than either of the others did, for through the character of Wanhope he attempts to explain each incident in terms of the psychological theories and speculations of the period. His stories stand, therefore, at the very crossroads between a fantasy dealing with the supernatural and a science fiction dealing with the accepted facts and theories of contemporary psychology." - Clareson, The Emergence of American Science Fiction: 1880-1915., p. 84.
