About this book
This early collection gathers supernatural tales from Algernon Blackwood, one of the finest ghost-story writers in the English language. The title piece sends two nervous relatives into a house known for its hauntings, where the very rooms seem to remember an old crime. The other stories range across possession, premonition, and the thin places where the ordinary world gives way to something older and colder. Blackwood is less interested in shock than in dread, in the slow prickle of unease as his characters sense a presence they cannot name. First published in 1906, the volume shows the atmospheric power that would soon make later tales like The Willows famous among readers of weird fiction.
