Krystallens defekt (1912) omhandler Agatha Verrall, som er blevet udstyret med evnen til at helbrede personer, der lider under psykiske problemer. Hun bruger sin evne til at hjælpe sin nære ven Rodney, eller nærmere bestemt dennes nervesvækkede kone Bella. Det hele fungerer godt, indtil Milly og Harding Powell kommer på besøg. Harding er brudt sammen mentalt og er potentielt til fare for andre, men Milly nægter at give op og få ham sendt i behandling. På grund af sin kærlighed til Milly udvider Agatha sin overnaturlige indflydelse til også at gælde Harding, men finder ud af, at indflydelsen går begge veje, og i hendes sårbare tilstand kommer Harding til at påvirke hende lige så meget, som hun gør ham. Med tiden transponeres den kraftige uro i hans sind over i hende og kaster hende ud i en tilstand af rædsel. Romanen er lige dele kærlighedsfortælling, psykologisk portræt, spiritistisk undersøgelse og feministisk horror. Bag kunstnernavnet May Sinclair gemmer sig den engelske forfatter Mary Amelia St. Clair (1863 - 1946). Hun var suffragette og aktivt medlem af Woman Writers' Suffrage League. I sin samtid var hun også en indflydelsesrig litteraturkritiker med speciale i moderne prosa og lyrik, og hun var den første til at bruge begrebet ”stream of consciousness” i en litterær sammenhæng. Sinclair udgav mere end 20 romaner i den realistiske genre, alle med en feministisk dagsorden, der satte fokus på ægteskabet og kvindens rolle i samfundet. Samtidig skrev hun også adskillige romaner og noveller i den overnaturlige genre, herunder Krystallens defekt. "Tak til forlaget Escho for deres utrættelige, nekrofile – men renhjertede – kærlighed til glemte degenererede vidundere fra litteraturhistorien." - Weekendavisen
