Description
"Best Short Stories of Algernon Blackwood" is a collection of frightening tales by one of the greatest British writers of supernatural fiction of the twentieth century. Born in London in 1869, Blackwood began publishing ghost stories in 1906 and became a prolific writer, as well as a journalist and radio broadcaster.

P. Lovecraft to be one of the finest supernatural stories ever written. Blackwood interwove both the traditional elements of horror literature, such as haunted houses and ghosts, with ideas far ahead of his time, like cosmic experiences, advanced beings, and multiple dimensions of existence. Blackwood is famous for his unsurpassed ability to create foreboding moods, slowly building suspense, and keeping readers on the edges of their seats.
