Description
'Back from the shouting floor and ceiling came the chorus of images that stormed and clamoured for expression.
Jones lay still and listened; he let them come. There was nothing else to do.'Algernon Blackwood was one of the most influential writers of twentieth-century weird and supernatural fiction.
He once told a correspondent that every story he wrote was based on either a personal experience or that of someone he knew, and thus the vast collection of short stories and novels published in his lifetime can be seen to form a kind of autobiography.
In this collection of his most atmospheric and uneasy tales, Mike Ashley provides the facts of Blackwood's life which inspired each story - including experiences as an intelligence agent in the First World War and adventures in New York - to tell the parallel tale of the author's lifetime of the supernatural.
