Charles Grant wordt geprezen om zijn meesterschap in "dark fantasy" en "quiet horror", waarbij hij verhalen creëert die zich met een kenmerkende, sfeervolle stijl verdiepen in verontrustende thema's. Zijn verhalen verkennen vaak de psychologische diepten van angst en weven ingewikkelde plots die een blijvende indruk achterlaten op de lezer. Grants unieke benadering van het genre ligt in zijn subtiliteit, waarbij hij zich concentreert op sfeer en personage boven openlijke schokken. Zijn belangrijke bijdragen hebben zijn plaats als sleutelfiguur in de moderne speculatieve fictie verstevigd.
