Autorenporträt

Algernon Blackwood (1869-1951) was an English journalist, novelist, and short story writer. Born in Shooter's Hill, he developed an interest in Hinduism and Buddhism at a young age. After a youth spent travelling and taking odd jobs-Canadian dairy farmer, bartender, model, violin teacher-Blackwood returned to England and embarked on a career as a professional writer. Known for his connection to the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, Blackwood gained a reputation as a master of occult storytelling, publishing such popular horror stories as "The Willows" and "The Wendigo." He also wrote several novels, including Jimbo: A Fantasy (1909) and The Centaur (1911). Throughout his life, Blackwood was a passionate outdoorsman, spending much of his time skiing and mountain climbing. Recognized as a pioneering writer of ghost stories, Blackwood influenced such figures as J. R. R. Tolkien, H. P. Lovecraft, and Henry Miller.
