When people begin disappearing without a trace at a specific spot on the Brighton Road, the police are left without a clue, but Lincoln Osgood, a well-travelled American who is staying at nearby Clymping Manor, has a theory-one so fantastic, so 'strange and bizarre beyond all words', that he fears being labelled a lunatic. With limited time left before the next full moon, which falls on Walpurgis Night, he must convince Scotland Yard that there are werewolves at large in sleepy Sussex and that, if action is not taken in time, a young woman's soul might be lost for ever. Told in a matter-of-fact way, with the feel of a tense thriller rather than a horror novel, one reviewer described The Door of the Unreal as 'fascinating in its horrors and written with a skill which makes even the impossible seem likely'.

Originally published by Eveleigh Nash Company Limited in December 1919, this new Nezu Press edition includes a 16-page biographical essay by Gina R. Collia: 'Gerald Biss: The Most Lovable Soul That Ever Existed'.
