Om den här e-boken
These are stories steeped in the majesty and mystery of nature. You don't read them--you fall into them, as into a dream. Lulled into a false sense of security, you discover you are no longer within comfortable boundaries. Your eyes have been opened to a larger world. You are about to embark on an incredible adventure. (Goodreads)
Om författaren
Algernon Blackwood (1869-1951) was an English author renowned for his masterful ghost stories and supernatural fiction, which have left an indelible mark on the genre. Born in Shooter's Hill, London, Blackwood's early life was marked by a restless spirit and a thirst for adventure. He traveled extensively, working various jobs in Canada and the United States, including as a farmer, bartender, and journalist, before returning to England to pursue writing full-time.Blackwood's literary contributions are vast, with his most celebrated works including "The Willows" and "The Wendigo," both of which are considered classics of supernatural literature. His stories often explore the thin veil between reality and the otherworldly, drawing on his deep interest in mysticism, nature, and the occult. Blackwood was also a member of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, a secret society devoted to the study of the paranormal and metaphysics, which significantly influenced his writing.Controversially, Blackwood's works often blur the lines between horror and spiritual enlightenment, challenging contemporary notions of the supernatural. His ability to evoke a profound sense of awe and terror has influenced numerous writers, including H.P. Lovecraft, who praised Blackwood's ability to create an atmosphere of cosmic horror.In addition to his writing, Blackwood was a successful broadcaster and narrator, bringing his eerie tales to life on radio and television. His innovative approach to storytelling and his exploration of the unknown continue to captivate modern readers, securing his legacy as a pioneer of supernatural fiction.
