- "Professor Boyd Thompson's services to the cause of science are usually spoken of as inestimable ...". The story explains what suddenly "brought his scientific career to an end", omitting some crucial details.
"He knew that by this drug ... he could intensify the five senses of any of the inferior animals. Could he intensify those senses in man?"
--viewed at Google Books as The Power of Darkness: Tales of Terror (Wordsworth, 2006), pp. 153-68
