description: Selected from the entire body of Algernon Blackwood’s work, this collection contains some of his finest writing. Blackwood’s ability to create and sustain an atmosphere of unrelieved horror is witnessed in ?The Willows’, a starkly terrifying tale of another dimension impinging on our own. In contrast, ?The Other Wing’, is a chilling but delicate evocation of the mysteries of childhood. Mysticism and cosmic experiences feature, as well as the more traditional elements of the horror story. Best Ghost Stories of Algernon Blackwood reveals why Blackwood is celebrated as the twentieth century’s foremost British writer of supernatural fiction.
