His fiction often returned to Italy, especially Rome, Venice, and the Renaissance world. Among the works reliably attributed to him are Castel del Monte (1905), The Sorceress of Rome (1907), The Court of Lucifer (1910), The Hill of Venus (1913), Under the Witches' Moon (1917), The Leopard Prince (1920), The Lotus Woman (1922), and The Red Confessor (1926).
