Algernon Blackwood still ranks at the top of the distinguished list of early 20th century horror writers, perhaps equal to his contemporary H.P. Lovecraft. Blackwood's tales have a somewhat more intellectual bent than HPL's, and his slow progression of dark mood reminds me of the first low rumblings of thunder of a distant summer evening storm. This collection of stories is classic Blackwood, and will thrill and chill lovers of this genre. Highly recommended!
Blackwood was one of a kind. Unsurpassed.
