His writings include the first complete translation of the Icelandic epic,Egil's Saga; the novelsThe Worm OroborosandStybiorn the Strong; and the trilogy Zimiamvia, includingMistress of Mistresses,A Fish Dinner in Memison, and the final book,The Mezentian Gate, which was left unfinished when he died suddenly of a heart attack in 1945.
