Viete, že ALGERNON BLACKWELL bol zakladateľom žánru WEIRD FICTION ?
One of the most brilliant mystic storytellers since Edgar Allan Poe, Algernon Blackwood possessed the special gift of building up an uncanny atmosphere out of quite an ordinary situation. His stories are written with such depth and credibility that the supernatural events seem inevitable and even more terrifying. Far from being fantastic, his characters are essentially real, which increases the horror when they come in contact with the supernatural.
In addition to his novels Algernon Blackwood wrote a considerable number of short stories, and this book provides a representative selection, including such famous tales as The Man Whom the Trees Loved, The Occupant of the Room, Running Wolf, The Pikestaffe Case, The Lost Valley and many others.
As some of these stories have been out of print for many years they will come as a fresh revelation to those who appreciated them when they originally appeared, and will give pleasure to those who may not yet have had the opportunity of reading them. Certainly, this fascinating book will appeal to everyone who enjoys well-written tales in an atmosphere of the mysterious and the macabre.
