Eerie Tales : The Best Stories Of Algernon Blackwood

A classic selection of Blackwood's best stories.
Blackwood's two best known stories are probably The Willows and The Wendigo. The Willows, perhaps his most celebrated story, was influenced heavily by Blackwood's own trips down the Danube River. It tells the story of two campers who pick the wrong place to sleep for the night, a place where another dimension impinges on our own. H. P. Lovecraft considered this the finest supernatural tale in English literature. The Wendigo is set in the Canadian wilderness. A hunting party separates to track moose, and one member is abducted by the Wendigo of legend. Robert Aickman regarded this as "one of the (possibly) six great masterpieces in the field".
