Ancient Sorceries and Other Weird Stories (Paperback)

By turns bizarre, unsettling, spooky, and sublime, Ancient Sorceries and Other Weird Stories showcases nine incomparable stories from master conjuror Algernon Blackwood. Evoking the uncanny spiritual forces of Nature, Blackwood's writings all tread the nebulous borderland between fantasy, awe, wonder, and horror. Here Blackwood displays his best and most disturbing work—including the title story, the inspiration for Val Lewton's classic film Cat People; "The Willows," which Lovecraft singled out as "the single finest weird tale in literature"; "The Wendingo"; "The Insanity of Jones"; and "Sand."

This original Penguin Twentieth-Century Classics edition includes a fascinating Introduction and invaluable notes by S.T. Joshi.
