'The Phantom Rickshaw' is a classic of 'the psychopathic state' and this tale along with 'The Strange Ride of Morrowbie Jukes' originally titled 'The Village of the Dead' have been likened in manner to the weird tales of Edgar Allan Poe successfully re-created in a Simla rather than Gothic setting.
