The tales in this book (back in print for the first time in who knows how many years) are by turns mystifying, horrifying, intensely moving, funny, incredibly beautiful... and sometimes all of them at once! Algernon Blackwood is mostly remembered as a great writer of ghost stories, but he was SO much more than that - a writer of (mostly) supernatural tales with a truly unique vision. Theres hardly a ghost to be found in this book, but it is chock full of other kinds of weird manifestations that are so original they are very hard to describe. Blackwood was one of a kind, and deserves to be much more widely read than he is.
This rare collection contains a number of excellent and memorable stories. He was a master story-teller, and no true fan of supernatural fiction will want to be without this. The collection also includes at least a couple of stories from Blackwoods golden period which never found their way into the earlier collections (such as The Man Who Found Out and The Empty Sleeve).
Contained in this volume:
The Wolves of God
Chinese Magic
Running Wolf
First Hate
The Tarn of Sacrifice
The Valley of the Beasts
The Call
Egyptian Sorcery
The Decoy
The Man Who Found Out
The Empty Sleeve
Wireless Confusion
Confession
The Lane That Ran East and West
Vengeance is Mine
