British author Algernon Blackwood was a prolific writer who is usually remembered for his numerous ghost stories; however, he also wrote on many other supernatural themes and was an influence on many later writers, including H. P. Lovecraft. This collection of 13 stories includes: "The Wendigo", "The Olive", "The Goblin's Collection", "The Sea Fit", "Ancient Lights", "The Prayer", "The Wood of the Dead", "An Egyptian Hornet", "The Other Wing", "The Singular Death of Morton", "Entrance and Exit", "The Kit Bag", "The Damned".

Shea Taylor is brilliant as the narrator.
He tells the story, he does not simply read it. Thank you everyone, for several hours of excellent entertainment.
Brilliant narration of exceptional writing.

1. THE WENDIGO is well known and quite long. It could be edited down for a more focused story.
2. In THE OLIVE, a young man picks up an olive a feminine diner dropped and finds himself transported to an otherworldly experience.
3. Dutton didn't have an excuse to decline a house party invitation, so he finds himself in a mansion inhabited by a kleptomaniacal Irish spirit in THE GOBLIN'S COLLECTION.
4. A small gathering of sailors are spending the Easter holiday together when one of them is taken by a SEA FIT which involves pagan deities.
5. ANCIENT LIGHTS is about a Croydon surveyor's clerk who travels to assist a client in Sussex, but he will have to find him first.
6. THE PRAYER centers on a psychical experiment performed by O'Malley and Jones, two medical students.
7. THE WOOD OF THE DEAD is set in the Devon and Somerset countryside in full summer. A visitor to an inn finds himself in the presence of an uninvited companion.
8. AN EGYPTIAN HORNET, "though black and yellow, sounds like scarlet," terrifies Reverend Milligan after an April morning's bath.
9. THE OTHER WING is a children's story. When Tim is tucked up in bed each night, and just after the fire dies down, a head-and-shoulders of a figure looks in at the door.
10. THE SINGULAR DEATH OF MORTON. In the limestone hills of the Jura, a couple of climbers make their way back to their lodgings when they hear a young lady walking behind them....again.
11. A physicist, a young lady, and her parson-fiancé discuss the disappearance of a man into a "haunted grove," leading to philosophical speculations in ENTRANCE AND EXIT.
12. A KC and his clerk congratulate themselves for successfully exonerating a client on the grounds of insanity. The clerk is planning an alpine sporting holiday and asks to borrow THE KIT BAG for his expedition.
13. THE DAMNED. A gentleman makes a visit, in company with his sister, to a friends mansion in the country. His only concern is that he be left in peace to write.
Blackwood was ahead of his time, rather strange, and quite original when compared to his contemporary story writers. If you like unusual, old-fashioned stories, you might like these, but it might be best to read a couple of stories before you buy. I believe most are in the public domain.
