The Wendigo and Other Stories by Algernon Blackwood Paperback Book

Description: The Wendigo and Other Stories by Algernon Blackwood, Aaron Worth The tales of Algernon Blackwood, in the view of many the greatest weird writer of them all, blur the boundaries between human and nonhuman, living and dead, beckoning the reader into strange borderlands where alien forces lurk. FORMAT Paperback CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description See!...The woods are alive! Already the Great Ones are there, and the dance will soon begin! The salve is here! Anoint yourself and come! One of the greatest writers of the strange and weird, Algernon Blackwood evolved from a teller of ghost stories to a pioneering master of such emergent fictional modes as cosmic horror and nature Gothic. In tales whose settings range from the eerie North Woods of Canada to the mysterioussands of the Egyptian desert, Blackwood blurs the boundaries between human and nonhuman, living and dead, beckoning the reader into strange borderlands where alien forces lurk, waiting for the chance to break throughinto our world. This new selection of Blackwoods shorter fiction constitutes the most comprehensive critical edition of his work to date. Included here are such undisputed classics as The Wendigo, The Willows, and Ancient Sorceries, as well as two superbly unsettling novellas, The Man Whom the Trees Loved and A Descent into Egypt, and ten other stories short and long, drawn from collections spanning Blackwoods long writing career. Aaron Worths introductionand notes situate these tales in the context of Blackwoods own upbringing in an evangelical Victorian household, as well as in relation to such topics as late-imperial British history and the emergenceof modern ecological thought.

If my professor assigned this book, I would be delighted to explore its contents and to discuss structural patterns and tricks that generate fright in readers in these pages.
