Three John Silence Stories

One of the former British writers of supernatural tales in the twentieth century, Algernon Blackwood (1869 - 1951) wrote stories in which the slow accumulation of telling details produced a foreboding atmosphere of almost unendurable tension. Blackwood's literary renown began in 1908 with the publication of a highly successful collection of stories, John Silence - Physician Extraordinary, featuring a "psychic doctor."
