"Tales of the supernatural: ""Liao-chai chih-i"" and the American short story of the nineteenth century"

"The writers of the supernatural tales present in their stories nonrational events that can be set in either the primary or the secondary world or an ambiguous region in between, such as dreamland. Whether the reader accepts these events as real (""the uncanny""), rejects them as illusory (""the marvelous""), or remains uncertain (""the fantastic""), he perceives the notion of otherness which evokes a sense of awe and wonder."
