Beyond The Door by J. Paul Suter
It seems to me that Beyond The Door is one of those stories that leaves it up in the air whether the narrator is insane or haunted. In this it is like The Yellow Wallpaper or The Horla or The Beckoning Fair One. It’s a common sub-type of the ghost story genre.
This story was recommended by Terry Illikainen and this version was from Weird Tales volume 01 number 02, 1923-4.
Joseph Paul Suter wrote pulp tales during the early to middle part of the 20th Century for the magazines that specialised in genre fiction. He wrote mystery, detective, and supernatural stories. He was prolific and had more than two hundred stories published in these magazines.
He was an American author born in 1884 who died in 1970. And that’s about all I can find about him.
