One of few E.F.Benson stories to fail. There is nice atmosphere of British control Alexandrea, a vile British businessman who is haunted by strange footsteps builds the tension, but the ending falls flat. A disappointing tale from the writer of How Fear Departed the Long Gallery, Monkeys and Caterpillars.

One of Benson’s colonial Egyptian stories, a genuinely masterful and atmospheric tale that really shows Benson’s mastery of the uncanniness of weird fiction as well as his skill in invoking place.
