The second and last of Lyon's two books both collecting some of his short fiction. Lyon's untimely death at age 33 cut short a promising literary career. His fiction was of high caliber and has been favorably compared with that of Stephen Crane and Ambrose Bierce. "The 31 tales and sketches in SARDONICS and GRAPHICS can be properly compared with the work of Crane and Bierce for vivid highly characterized and purposeful narrative. 'The Second Motive' in SARDONICS and 'Revenge' in GRAPHICS are psychological murder tragedies at the two extremes of the social scale. Lyon like Crane and Norris died before his talents had fully matured and unfortunately when his work had only begun to appear in McCLURE'S MAGAZINE and to attract special attention." - Bennett A Practical Guide to American Book Collecting p. 204.
