When masters of the British ghost story are named, Wakefield is often mentioned in the company of LeFanu and M.R. James. His inclusion in this small list is fitting, but misleading. Like the other two, Wakefield chooses the exact detail to best elicit anxiety or summon horror, but he lacks either the capacity or discipline to choose the other details of his narratives with equal force and precision. In addition, his prose is undistinguished, and this combination results in stories that lack both concentration and elegance. Still, Wakefield has told some very fine tales, including his first, the celebrated "The Red Lodge," "The Seventeenth Hole at Duncaster" (an excellent account of supernatural manifestations on a golf course), and "Immortal Bird," the story of a murderous mathematician plagued by the apparition of an albino raven. "Damp Sheets" and "Blind Man's Buff"--the latter one of the best evocations I have read of what it feels like to be trapped in absolute darkness--are also very good; both are brief and benefit from the concision Wakefield often lacks. My two favorite stories, however, feature thinly-disguised appearances by Aleister Crowley, one ("Black Solitude") almost in jest, and another ("He Cometh and He Passeth by") horrifyingly in earnest. All in all, this is a rewarding collection, and belongs on the short list of any devotee of the British ghost story.
