| Summary | "The Street of the Eye and Nine Other Tales" by Gerald Bullett is a collection of short stories written in the early 20th century. This anthology offers a range of narratives exploring the supernatural, human nature, and moral dilemmas, often weaving in philosophical reflections on existence and interpersonal relationships. The opener, "The Street of the Eye," introduces a character named Saunders who shares ghost stories that highlight various types of people and their responses to the unknown. The opening of the book focuses on a cafe in Marseilles where Saunders reflects on the nature of supernatural stories and their ability to classify people into types based on their beliefs. It sets the stage for a key character, Bellingham, whose dramatic presence sparks a discussion about existential fears and the looming idea of divine judgment. Intrigued by Bellingham's intense perspective on life and death, the narrator navigates a landscape filled with philosophical musings and hints of the supernatural, establishing a layered framework for the stories to unfold. As Saunders listens to Bellingham's assertions about the "Eye" watching them all, a sense of foreboding and curiosity is established, promising deeper explorations of fear and belief in the tales that follow.
