he has a collaboration. wilfred VIII
son. these weird tales have the
characteristics of Mr.. Blackwood's
other work. For those who are un-
acquainted with the strange prod
ucts OF this authors unusual skill.
It may be explained that these "fey
stories" are guaranteed to send
shivers up and down the spine OF
any one with an active magma
ton. The spinal agitation is not
caused by the simple device of WV
IDLY described horrors. It is the
result rather Of a much more subtle
method OF suggesting the awesome
and terrifying. Stories in which
persons are driven to do violence to
themselves or others in which the
individual Is forced into action by a
terror which grows within his own
mind are not so common. but when
handled as skillfully as Mr.. Black
wood handles them they are much
more effective. The settings Of
these tales are not restricted to any
one part of the world, and the
magic and mysteries are not those
OF a single race or cult. Although
the stories that make UP this vol
ume are all more or less "fey,"
there is variety in plot and charac-
tiers. This Is not the book for those
who are hopelessly addicted to the
somberly realistic or the cheerfully
romantic type of fiction, nor is 1t
for those whose rest is easily dis
turbed by what they read. But
those who like well-made stories
of weird and unfamiliar things will
find this book decidedly to their
taste. -
