About this book/synopsis: One of the most gifted mystic storytellers since Edgar Allan Poe, Algernon Blackwood possessed the special gift of building up an uncanny atmosphere out of quite an ordinary situation. His stories are written with such depth and credibility that the supernatural events seem inevitable and even more terrifying. Far from being fantastic, his characters are essentially real, which increases the horror when they come in contact with the supernatural.

In addition to his novels, Blackwood wrote many short stories, of which this book provides a fair few, some of which had been out of print for many years when this book was published. This fascinating book will appeal to everyone who enjoys well-written tales in an atmosphere of the mysterious and the macabre.
