description: "A short . . . but most masterly story, [with] The Room in the Dragon Volant, he touched the springs of terror and suspense, as perhaps no other writer of fiction in the language has been able to do. His fine scholarship, poetic sense, and strong, yet delicate handling of language and of incident give these tales a place quite apart among works of sensational fiction. --THE CAMBRIDGE HISTORY OF ENGLISH AND AMERICAN LITERATURE "The immobilized consciousness of young Beckett in 'The Room in the Dragon Volant' should be read as the counterpart of a lascivious and protean immortality in 'Carmilla'." -- J.W. McCormack
