- "The Unholy City (1937; rev as coll 1968) is a surreally unfocused Urban Fantasy [one Encyclopedia of Fantasy entry] set in the crypto-Asian city of Heilar-Wey;" "a resident of Abalone crashlands in Asia, and is guided through mysterious Heilar-Wey where surreal ways of living expose themselves." --SFE3, first, and The Encyclopedia of Fantasy, biographical entries by John Clute
- "Story of a man sole survivor of a plane wreck, who robs the pockets of the victims, and joins forces with a wastrel who has been ousted from his city for debt." (exceptionally negative; contrast The Circus of Dr. Lao) --Kirkus Reviews, at this date surely by Virginia Kirkus
