Algernon Blackwood (1869-1951) was an English short story writer and novelist, one of the most prolific writers of ghost stories in the history of the genre. He was also a journalist and a broadcasting narrator. S. T. Joshi has stated that "his work is more consistently meritorious than any weird writers except Dunsanys." Though Blackwood wrote a number of horror stories, his most typical work seeks less to frighten than to induce a sense of awe.A Haunted IslandA Case of EavesdroppingThe Empty HouseKeeping His PromiseWith Intent to StealThe Wood of the DeadSmith: An Episode in a Lodging HouseA Suspicious GiftThe Strange Adventures of a Private Secretary in New YorkSkeleton LakeThe WillowsThe Womans Ghost StoryThe Dance of DeathThe Old Man of VisionsThe Insanity of JonesThe ListenerMay Day EveMax HensigMiss Slumbubble and ClaustrophobiaAncient SorceriesA Psychical InvasionThe Nemesis of FireSecret WorshipThe Camp of the DogThe Occupant of the RoomThe Terror of the TwinsEntrance and ExitYou May Telephone from HereThe WendigoThe Sea FitOld ClothesPerspectiveCarltons DriveThe Lost ValleyThe Man from the "Gods"The Eccentricity of Simon ParnacuteThe Price of Wigginss OrgyThe Man Who Played Upon the LeafThe Glamour of the SnowThe Deferred AppointmentThe ReturnThe TransferDream TrespassThe Man Whom the Trees LovedThe South WindThe MessengerThe AtticSandThe Heath FireThe Temptation of the ClayAncient LightsClairvoyanceThe Golden FlySpecial DeliveryThe Destruction of SmithThe Goblins CollectionThe WhisperersThe Second GenerationThe Man Who Found OutThe TraditionTransitionViolenceThe DollThe TrodAccessory Before the FactThe House of the PastThe SacrificeThe DamnedWayfarersThe Pikestaffe CaseThe PrayerThe SecretStrange Disappearance of a BaronetThe LeaseUp and DownFaith Cure on the ChannelThe InvitationImaginationThe ImpulseHer BirthdayTwo in OneLet Not the SunJimbos Longest DayNews vs. NourishmentIf the Cap FitsWindPinesThe Winter AlpsBy WaterA Victim of Higher SpaceThe Regeneration of Lord ErnieA Descent into EgyptThe Falling GlassThe Other WingAn Egyptian HornetThe Touch of PanThe TrystThe Wings of HorusInitiationA Desert EpisodeA Bit of WoodH.
