Blackwood, Algernon: The Lost Valley and Other Stories (illus). v1. 08 Jan 2022
A collection of ten eerie and fantastic stories to give you chills, and to give you food for thought.
Brief summaries of the stories: Spoiler:
============ One of the foremost British writers of supernatural tales in the twentieth century, Algernon Blackwood (1869–1951) wrote stories in which the slow accumulation of telling details produced a foreboding atmosphere of almost unendurable tension. Though he wrote a number of horror stories, his most typical work seeks less to frighten than to induce a sense of awe. The literary critic S. T. Joshi stated, “His work is more consistently meritorious than any weird writer’s except Dunsany’s.” Blackwood’s literary renown began in 1908 with the publication of a highly successful collection of stories, John Silence — Physician Extraordinary, featuring a “psychic doctor.” His two best known stories are probably “The Willows” and “The Wendigo”. ============ The Lost Valley and Other Stories, by Algernon Blackwood (1869–1951), was first published in 1910. Illustrations by W. Graham Robertson (1866–1948). This ebook is in the public domain where copyright is “Life+70” or less, and in the USA. .
