A musician
as well as an author, he is best-known for The Green
Carnation,
which made fun of Oscar Wilde and his circle. His finest short
story in the supernatural genre, widely acknowledged as a classic,
is "How Love Came to Professor Guildea", a ghost story about a
scientist who believes that he has no use for love or
sentimentality only to find himself haunted by a female
spirit.
