His stories are powerfully charged explorations of psychical violence, their effects heightened by detailed character studies graced with a powerful poetic elegance. In simple terms Oliver Onions goes for the cerebral rather than the jugular. However, make no mistake, his ghost stories achieve the desired effect. They draw you in, enmeshing you in their unnerving and disturbing narratives.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis collection contains such masterpieces as \u003cem\u003eThe Rosewood Door\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eThe Ascending Dream\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eThe Painted Face\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eThe Beckoning Fair One\u003c\/em\u003e, a story which both Algernon Blackwood and H.
