Brennan's "Levitation" still one of the best horror vignettes
yet written, and he came close again frequently...Leffing is
certainly better reading than many of the psychic
investigators of the WEIRD TALES school, very much including
the most popular of those, Seabury Quinn's Jules de Grandin.
If not quite as good as Manly Wade Wellman's Silver John the
Balladeer.
