Gustav Meyrinks Feder entströmt eine außergewöhnliche Prosa, die mit facettenreichem und sehr phantasievollem Ausdruck gesegnet ist. Innerhalb der Reihe "Phantastische Geschichten" präsentieren sich irrationale, ambivalente, groteske Situationen, Handlungen und Charaktere im Gewand der Alltäglichkeit, so dass eine fast greifbare Spannung entsteht, die sich als Nerven kitzelnder, Bewusstsein stimulierender und Fantasie anregender transzendentaler literarischer Zustand entpuppt, innerhalb dessen man gemütliche Stunden des Genusses erleben bzw. verstreichen lassen kann.
