Book Synopsis Ancient Sorceries and Other Chilling Tales by : Algernon Blackwood
Download or read book Ancient Sorceries and Other Chilling Tales written by Algernon Blackwood and published by Capuchin Classics. This book was released on 2013-08-31 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Blackwood was a writer of great distinction - his narratives were not so much ghost stories as psychic adventures, his characters standing on the brink of alternative, sometimes frightening worlds: two campers find themselves staying in an eerie locale, impinged on by another dimension; a tourist returning from a trip becomes too enchanted with a strange French town and its people to leave; a member of a hunting party is abducted in the Canadian wilderness. Mysterious and unsettling, his stories have the capacity to invoke genuine fear in the reader. Collected here are seven of his best, including The Willows - perhaps Blackwood's most celebrated story, and considered to be one of the finest supernatural tales in English literature - and The Wendigo another undisputed masterpiece. This collection confirms Algernon Blackwood as one of the modern geniuses of supernatural fiction.

Book Synopsis Ancient Sorceries, Deluxe Edition by : Algernon Blackwood
Download or read book Ancient Sorceries, Deluxe Edition written by Algernon Blackwood and published by Pushkin Press. This book was released on 2022-09-06 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A beautifully produced new edition of Blackwood’s weirdest supernatural stories, including “The Willows,” highlighted by H.P. Lovecraft as "the single finest weird tale in literature” Lauded as one of our greatest storytellers, and inspiring generations of writers from H.P. Lovecraft to Tolkien to Stephen King, Algernon Blackwood left a legacy as one of Britain's greatest conjurors of weird and supernatural stories. Blackwood’s inimitable style puts readers right in the middle of the story, with visceral and nature-inspired fear that lies just beyond the real, often in the form of a nameless dread. This beautifully produced edition, with a stunning cover and thoughtful design and layout to ensure the most enjoyable reading experience, features four of his most unnervingly curious tales: Ancient Sorceries--a traveller stops in a remote French hill town and soon finds himself unable to leave; there is something strangely feline about the inhabitants, he notices, and they all seem to be watching him very closely… The Listener--a lodging house guest feels himself observed by a malevolent presence. Soon it transpires his room’s previous occupant is watching him from beyond the grave, and is envious of the very flesh on his bones. The Sea Fit--an old retired ship’s captain’s ravings build to a terrifying climax, as he offers himself up as a sacrifice to the cruel gods of the sea. The Willows--two friends on a canoeing trip spend a terrifying night on a lonely willow-covered island, haunted by the strange trees and sinister shapes in the water.
