In this collection of dark, supernatural tales the esteemed author D. K. Broster gave full reign to her vivid imagination. Sometimes-as in "e;The Window"e; or "e;The Pestering,"e; or "e;All Soul's Day"e;-these are what we might call 'explainable' ghost stories: apparitions or hauntings whose origin is to be found in some violent or unjust action in the past. Other stories, "e;Couching at the Door"e; and "e;From the Abyss,"e; have little or no explanation, even in supernatural terms. Add to these an elegant reworking of the Persephone myth, "e;The Taste of Pomegranates,"e; the downright bloodthirsty "e;Clairvoyance,"e; and the psychological studies, "e;The Promised Land"e; and "e;The Pavement"e; which so well merit the heading 'Madness and Obsession', and you have a collection to disturb and unsettle the strongest nerves.Literary historian Jack Adrian describes Couching at the Door as "e;a pure masterwork, one of the most satisfying weird collections of the century"e;.
