Extravagant and powerful tales of horror in the "raw heads and bloody bones" type, the stories of Clive Pemberton are most properly considered among the antecedents of the "Weird Tales" traditions. Ghastly monsters, reanimated corpses and blood-curdling tales of terrible vengeance from beyond the grave"
