Fitz-James O'Brien is the most important figure after Poe and before Lovecraft in modern horror literature. - Jessica Amanda Salmonson

The Diamond Lens and Others (1855-1858) collects O'Brien's earliest speculative fiction written in America. This volume marks his initial exploration into what would become his signature genre-tales of the outré and macabre. Within its pages, readers will encounter tales and poems of fantastical spirits, monomania, nightmarish hallucinations, and dark fantasy. The collection culminates with The Diamond Lens, the story that catapulted O'Brien to national recognition. This volume captures the further development of his unique style and thematic preoccupations.
