Ghost, Supernatural & Mystic Tales Vol 1

Selected from the entire body of Algernon Blackwood's work, this collection of short stories contains his finest writing. Published in a total of five volumes, Volume 1 contains eight stories including Ancient Sorceries, Ancient Lights, The Listener, and Max Hensig. In ‘Ancient Sorceries’, Dr John Silence’s singular psychic acuteness confronts strange and extrasensory phenomena. In contrast, 'The Other Wing', is a chilling but delicate evocation of the mysteries of childhood. Mysticism and cosmic experiences feature, as well as the more traditional elements of the horror story. Ghost, Supernatural & Mystic Tales reveals why Blackwood is celebrated as the twentieth century's foremost British writer of supernatural fiction.
