About The Empty House and Other Ghost Stories by Algernon Blackwood
The Empty House and Other Ghost Stories by Algernon Blackwood is packed with hauntings, strange nature tales, weird crimes and dark fantasy from one of the greatest writers of supernatural fiction in the 20th century. Algernon Blackwood was a master of ghost stories. No, not gore and zombies and such. As a descriptive writer, he knew how to tell a story that would raise goosebumps without resorting to blood, claws, or gnashing teeth of a monster. The creak of a footstep on the stairs, a limb brushing against the roof, a shadow on the wall, Blackwood knew how to scare you without saying, “Boo!” Here are the ten of his finest stories, a collection to read under the covers after midnight. This is the illustrated edition. Most connoisseurs of modern horror fiction rate Algernon Blackwood as the finest horror writer of all time. Blackwood was unsurpassed in originality and characterisation. His finest works still surprise and entertain today's readers.
