Si bien Chambers revisitó el género de la ficción extraña en colecciones posteriores, su marca literaria más duradera sigue siendo esta exploración del horror cósmico y la locura. Más tarde se dedicó a la ficción romántica e histórica, logrando un éxito comercial significativo y estatus de superventas.
