New here. Greetings! Recently I've been trying to find some old SF stories which I read in anthologies as a kid. These were all classics, mostly from '30s and '40s. I do not recall the authors nor titles, nor even the names of some of the anthologies. Are there any searchable indexes of such stories which feature thematic or major conceptual keywords? (Someone here might well have no need for a search aid.) One in particular featured a youth who discovered a dimensional portal at the edge of a seaside cliff (if my memory serves me) and finally summons the courage to descend into it, where he finds himself scrutinized by a cyclopean giant. When he hauls himself back he finds the chirality of his body has been reversed. I found the recent-past setting and antiquarian yet familiar style and feel of this story both charming and a little haunting. Thanks for any help.
Edit- Just noticed the Book Search section and realized that this might have been more appropriately posted there but given the age of the story/anthology perhaps this is the place.
