Algernon Blackwood's spooky stories remain as dark, chilling and
readable today as the time they were first published at the
beginning of the 20th century. Algernon Blackwood was well-regarded
in life as a master of the short horror story. Intertwining the
supernatural and unexplained into a series of compelling
narratives, the reader is left confused, scared and thrilled by the
bizarre occurrences that puzzle, traumatize and terrify his
characters. Blackwood's deft use of ambiguous endings leave the
reader to interpret what may have happened. The author's stories
exerted an enormous influence on H.P. Lovecraft (who himself termed
Blackwood a 'master' of the craft of supernatural storytelling) and
other horror authors. Together with strange and frightening tales,
he was an enthusiastic author of essays and plays. As well as the
'weird' fiction for which he was famed, Blackwood would also write
ordinary stories and tales aimed at younger audiences.
