Algernon Blackwood: Difference between revisions

== Selected Works ==

'The Willows' - Perhaps his most celebrated story, it was influenced heavily by Blackwood's own trips down the river. It tells the story of two campers who pick the wrong place to sleep for the night, a place where another dimension impinges on our own.

'The Wendingo' - Another camper tale, this time set in the Canadian wilderness. A hunting party separates to track moose, and one member is haunted during the night by the Wendigo of indian legend.

'Ancient Sorceries' - A tourist returning from a trip becomes too enchanted with a strange French town and its people to leave. He is slowly drawn more and more into their realm of secrets and talk of ancient memories.

'The Insanity of Jones' - A reincarnation story based around the correcting of past wrongs by revenge.

'The Man Who Found Out' - A researcher goes on an expedition to find "The Tablets of the Gods" which have plagued his dreams since his boyhood. He finds them, and the horrible truth of humanity's true purpose in the universe.

'Smith: An Episode in a Lodging House' - A man and his strange neighbor's paths meet more often than he would like in this story of a man delving into secrets he should not know.
