Algernon Blackwood Library of Weird Fiction

British writer Algernon Blackwood (1869-1951) wrote an immense quantity of weird fiction, short and long, over a career that spanned five decades. Beginning with such early triumphs as The Willows (which H. P. Lovecraft regarded as the greatest weird tale in all literature) and The Listener, Blackwood went on to write many distinctive stories that reflected his wide-ranging travels in the Swiss Alps (The Glamour of the Snow), Canada (The Wendigo), and Egypt (Sand, A Descent into Egypt). He also created the psychic detective John Silence. Blackwood’s work is united by a deep belief in pantheism and reincarnation, and his tales are characterized by a profound understanding of the psychological effects of terror and wonder upon the receptive individual.   This volume presents a wide array of Blackwood’s weird tales, including a number of his substantial novellas, a form in which he excelled. The most accurate and authoritative texts are used, and the volume concludes with a bibliography of first apparances of all the items included.
