"Blackwood is one of those writers who can scare you simply by a turn of phrase ... These stories are downright spooky!" - Hollis George, Bram Stoker, Without Fangs Algernon Blackwood was a master of the ghost story. No, not gore and zombies and such. A descriptive writer, he knew how to tell a story that would raise goosebumps on your arm without resorting to dripping blood, claws, or gnashing teeth of a physical monster. The creak of a footstep on the stairs, a limb brushing against the roof, a shadow on the wall, Blackwood knew how to scare you without saying, "Boo!" Here are ten of his finest stories, a collection to read by flashlight (or e-reader glow) under the covers late at night. This is the illustrated edition.
