"Mr. Grant Allen has fully established his claim to be heard
henceforth as a story-teller."--ACADEMY.
"No one will be able to say that the stories are dull. The lighter
stories can be read with pleasure by everybody, and the book can be
dipped into anywhere without disappointment. One and all, the
stories are told with a delightful ease and with an abundance of
lively humour."--ATHENAEUM.
"Almost all the stories are good, coming nearer to the weird power
of Poe than any that we remember to have seen."--PALL MALL GAZETTE.
"Perhaps the best fiction of the year is 'Strange Stories.' Mr.
Grant Allen certainly took his friends by surprise when he burst
forth as the author of the stories which had appeared under the
signature of J. Arbuthnot Wilson. He was known to us all as one of
the most able of the rising men of the evolution school, his
contributions to modern science being of considerable value. Few
suspected him of such levity as telling light stories. The volume
is distinctly good."--COUNTY GENTLEMAN.
