Like Poe before him and Conan Doyle after, Wilkie Collins shifted easily from rational domains to the "superrational." Famed for his detective literature, he often preferred to indulge his predilection for the occult. Collins' themes, developed and elaborated in his earlier, massive novels, are streamlined and concentrated here into a tight novelette.
