British novelist who only briefly touched on the supernatural in two of his short stories but gained a lasting reputation in the field."- Sullivan (ed), The Penguin Encyclopedia of Horror and the Supernatural. Bleiler (1983) observes that Bullett was "highly regarded during the 1930s, but [is] now undeservedly forgotten" and states that "Dearth's Farm" is excellent.
