Ancient Sorceries and Other Chilling Tales by Algernon Blackwood Pdf

Blackwood was a writer of great distinction - his narratives were not so much ghost stories as psychic adventures, his characters standing on the brink of alternative, sometimes frightening worlds: two campers find themselves staying in an eerie locale, impinged on by another dimension; a tourist returning from a trip becomes too enchanted with a strange French town and its people to leave; a member of a hunting party is abducted in the Canadian wilderness. Mysterious and unsettling, his stories have the capacity to invoke genuine fear in the reader. Collected here are seven of his best, including The Willows - perhaps Blackwood's most celebrated story, and considered to be one of the finest supernatural tales in English literature - and The Wendigo another undisputed masterpiece. This collection confirms Algernon Blackwood as one of the modern geniuses of supernatural fiction.

Ancient Sorceries and Other Weird Stories by Algernon Blackwood Pdf

Algernon Blackwood's spooky stories remain as dark, chilling and readable today as the time they were first published at the beginning of the 20th century. Algernon Blackwood was well-regarded in life as a master of the short horror story. Intertwining the supernatural and unexplained into a series of compelling narratives, the reader is left confused, scared and thrilled by the occurrences that puzzle, traumatize and terrify his characters. His deft use of ambiguous endings leave the reader to interpret what may have happened. This superb anthology contains many of Blackwood's finest and scariest tales. The full list is as follows, in order of their appearance: Smith: An Episode in a Lodging-House The Willows The Insanity of Jones Ancient Sorceries The Man Who Found Out The Wendigo The Glamour of the Snow The Man Whom The Trees Loved Sand Algernon Blackwood was an enormous influence on H.P. Lovecraft (who himself would term Blackwood a 'master' of the craft of supernatural storytelling) and other horror authors. Together with strange and frightening tales, he was an enthusiastic author of essays and plays. As well as the 'weird' fiction for which he was famed, Blackwood would also write ordinary stories and tales aimed at younger audiences.

All the city's provosts are bored with the idea except for the earnest young Adam Wayne - the Napoleon of Notting Hill.

American Supernatural Tales by S. T. Joshi,Guillermo del Toro Pdf

Part of a new six-volume series of the best in classic horror, selected by Academy Award-winning director of The Shape of Water Guillermo del Toro American Supernatural Tales is the ultimate collection of weird and frightening American short fiction. As Stephen King will attest, the popularity of the occult in American literature has only grown since the days of Edgar Allan Poe. The book celebrates the richness of this tradition with chilling contributions from some of the nation's brightest literary lights, including Poe himself, H. P. Lovecraft, Shirley Jackson, Ray Bradbury, Nathaniel Hawthorne, and—of course—Stephen King. This volumes also includes "The Yellow Sign," the most horrific story from The King in Yellow, the classic horror collection by Robert W. Chambers featured on HBO's hit TV series True Detective. By turns phantasmagoric, spectral, and demonic, this is a frighteningly good collection of stories. Filmmaker and longtime horror literature fan Guillermo del Toro serves as the curator for the Penguin Horror series, a new collection of classic tales and poems by masters of the genre. Included here are some of del Toro’s favorites, from Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein and Ray Russell’s short story “Sardonicus,” considered by Stephen King to be “perhaps the finest example of the modern Gothic ever written,” to Shirley Jackson’s The Haunting of Hill House and stories by Ray Bradbury, Joyce Carol Oates, Ted Klein, and Robert E. Howard. Featuring original cover art by Penguin Art Director Paul Buckley, these stunningly creepy deluxe hardcovers will be perfect additions to the shelves of horror, sci-fi, fantasy, and paranormal aficionados everywhere.
