These stories are known for their macabre and supernatural elements, making them an early contribution to the horror genre. The tales in "The Skeleton Key" often involve mysteries, ghostly apparitions, and elements of the occult. Capes was an accomplished writer of the supernatural and excelled at creating eerie and atmospheric narratives.
