"Folklore and pseudo-folklore of the Hebrides turned into stories, often expressed in Macleod's swollen, neo-Ossianic style." - Bleiler, The Guide to Supernatural Fiction 1089. "Most of the FM stories, novels and poems were concentrated into four years (1893-6), produced almost with the fervour of religious experience. All have a dreamlike spiritual quality, capturing the folk-memory of Celtic myth and legend. Their popularity contributed to the Celtic revival of the 1890s. The best short fiction and sketches appeared as THE SIN-EATER AND OTHER TALES (1895) and THE WASHER OF THE FORD . (1896), which are mostly stories of spiritual transformation and second sight. In both books the title story features mythic characters whose actions consume or purify the sins of others." - Clute and Grant (eds), The Encyclopedia of Fantasy, p. 608.
