"[Cabell's] most substantial post-Biography fantasy was "The Nightmare Has Triplets," a sequence comprising An Urban Nightmare, A Sylvan Interlude, and An Acceptance in the Third Person. This explicitly emulates the logic and geography of dreams . . . successfully mistly and dreamlike . . ." —The Encyclopedia of Fantasy

James Branch Cabell
Author · 25 books
James Branch Cabell was an American author of fantasy fiction and belles lettres. Cabell was well regarded by his contemporaries, including H. L. Mencken, Edmund Wilson, and Sinclair Lewis. His works were considered escapist and fit well in the culture of the 1920s, when they were most popular. For Cabell, veracity was "the one unpardonable sin, not merely against art, but against human welfare."
