S. T. Joshi. "Nadelman's God" is about a man who finds that an overwrought poem he wrote as an adolescent has been used as an incantation to bring a monstrous deity to life. (First published in Klein's collection.) In 1993, Klein co-wrote with Italian film director Dario Argento the screenplay of the giallo film Trauma, also known as Dario Argento's Trauma. His previously unpublished short story "Growing Things" was collected in the 1999 anthology 999. He has penned two critical essays on weird fiction: Dr Van Helsing's Handy Guide to Ghost Stories (1981), a series of articles for Twilight Zone magazine; and Raising Goosebumps for Fun and Profit (1988), originally written for Writer's Digest. As a critic, Klein was influential in encouraging the early career of Ramsey Campbell via an extensive review of his work up to the time of Demons by Daylight which was published in Nyctalops magazine. In 2019, the Hippocampus Press published a collection of Klein's various essays, articles, and op-ed pieces entitled Providence After Dark and Other Writings (edited by S. T. Joshi).
