Lovecraft\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlgernon Blackwood (1869 – 1951) – ‘The Ghost Man’ – was a British broadcaster, journalist, traveller, mystic, and paranormal investigator, and, above all, a prolific author of weird, occult, and supernatural fiction. Often, he wrote about the untamed wilderness, from deserts to vast, primeval forests, vividly depicting a natural environment that is at once awe-inspiring, alien and hostile. Many of Blackwood’s most famous tales – such as\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Wendigo\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eand ‘\u003cem\u003eThe Willows\u003c\/em\u003e’ (both included in this collection) – are set in the empty places of the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike his psychic detective ‘John Silence’, Blackwood was fascinated by elemental spirits, reincarnation, other dimensions, and higher states of consciousness. Wherever such things broke through, he sought them out, and now so can you in this comprehensive collection of his short fiction. As Blackwood explained himself: ‘I believe it possible for our consciousness to change and grow, and that with this change we may become aware of a new universe.’\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv
