This is a collection of eight ghost stories, written by the
remarkably prolific husband and wife team of Claude and Alice
Askew, centering on Aylmer Vance, an investigator of the
supernatural. Dexter, the narrator, meets Vance during a fishing
holiday and Vance tells him three ghost stories on successive
nights, each story involving Vance more closely in the action. The
fourth story brings Dexter himself into the action, and reveals him
to have unsuspected clairvoyant powers. The remaining stories
feature Vance and Dexter as a sort of Holmes-and-Watson team
investigating incidents not all of which prove to have supernatural
causes. The final story, "The Fear" is very effective, describing a
house in which a general feeling of extreme fear grips the
inhabitants at various times and locations; the emotion of fear is
effectively evoked and an interesting tale is constructed as Vance
and Dexter work to assign the fear "a local habitation and a name".
