Ghost, Supernatural & Mystic Tales Vol 5

Selected from the entire body of Algernon Blackwood's work, this collection of short stories contains his finest writing. Published in a total of five volumes, Volume 5 contains seven of the best, including ‘The Dance of Death’, ‘A Psychical Invasion’, and ‘The Nemesis of Fire’. In ‘The Dance of Death’ we have a fleeting glimpse into another world, tantalisingly only half explained. Each disturbing tale is stamped with the unmistakable hallmark of Blackwood’s style including the two major John Silence stories. Mysticism and cosmic experiences feature, as well as the more traditional elements of the horror story. Ghost, Supernatural&Mystic Tales reveals why Blackwood is celebrated as the twentieth century's foremost British writer of supernatural fiction.
