Story
Algernon Blackwood, a journalist and broadcast narrator, was one of the most prolific writers of ghost stories in the history of the genre. The title story, "The Touch of Pan", explores the lingering presence of myth in everyday life. In "The Glamour of the Snow", Blackwood winds a tale about a man's infatuation with a supernatural winter beauty. In "The Attic", the ghost of an usurer haunts the old Chateaux and, on the anniversary of a young boy's death, the boy's cat brings the family together. "The Willows" follows two campers who are on a canoe trip down the Danube.

Perhaps Blackwood's most celebrated story, The Willows was influenced heavily by his own trips down the Danube River. It tells the story of two campers who pick the wrong place to sleep for the night, a place where another dimension impinges on our own. H.P. Lovecraft considered this the finest supernatural tale in English literature.

Story
An influential writer of supernatural fiction, Arthur Machen was born in Wales, in 1863. Many modern writers, such as Stephen King, have cited him as an inspiration. Perhaps most notably, though, was H.P. Lovecraft, who cites Machen as what led him down the road to eventually creating the Cthulhu Mythos. Presented here are two short stories and two novellas: "The Inmost Light", "A Fragment of Life", "The Shining Pyramid", and "The Terror."

Thomas Ligotti’s debut collection, Songs of a Dead Dreamer, and his second, Grimscribe, permanently inscribed a new name in the pantheon of horror fiction. Influenced by the strange terrors of Lovecraft and Poe and by the brutal absurdity of Kafka, Ligotti eschews cheap, gory thrills for his own brand of horror, which shocks at the deepest, existential, levels.

In upstate New York, in the woods around Woodstock, Dutchman's Creek flows out of the Ashokan Reservoir. Steep-banked, fast-moving, it offers the promise of fine fishing, and of something more, a possibility too fantastic to be true. When Abe and Dan, two widowers who have found solace in each other's company and a shared passion for fishing, hear rumors of the Creek, and what might be found there, the remedy to both their losses, they dismiss it as just another fish story.

On publication, it was widely denounced by the press as degenerate and horrific because of its implied sexual content, and the novella hurt Machen's reputation as an author. Beginning in the 1920s, Machen's work was critically re-evaluated and The Great God Pan has since garnered a reputation as a classic of horror.

Algernon Blackwood, a journalist and broadcast narrator, was one of the most prolific writers of ghost stories in the history of the genre.

In "The Glamour of the Snow", Blackwood winds a tale about a man's infatuation with a supernatural winter beauty. In "The Attic", the ghost of an usurer haunts the old Chateaux and, on the anniversary of a young boy's death, the boy's cat brings the family together. "The Willows" follows two campers who are on a canoe trip down the Danube.

Perhaps Blackwood's most celebrated story, The Willows was influenced heavily by his own trips down the Danube River. It tells the story of two campers who pick the wrong place to sleep for the night, a place where another dimension impinges on our own. H.P. Lovecraft considered this the finest supernatural tale in English literature.

Story
Algernon Blackwood was born on 14th March 1869 in Shooter’s Hill, South East London, to a religious middle-class family. His mother was a widowed Duchess and his father was a Post Office administrator. Blackwood was interested in the paranormal and the supernatural at an early age, and had a thirst for anything on Buddhism, other Oriental philosophies, mysticism and occultism. In his writings the weaving of the supernatural into his various works, from ghost stories and children’s stories to plays and long novels is clearly seen.

Story
H.P. Lovecraft considered The Willows to be "the finest supernatural tale in English literature", and its appeal is obvious. In his tale of an adventurous duo who embark on a seemingly innocuous river trip down the Danube, Blackwood personifies the desolate willows to be ominous, alive, and menacing. The river itself brims with human passions, and the elemental winds and heavenly forces all combine to create a sense of a supernatural intelligence orchestrating it all.

Atmosphere of Blackwood
Excellent performance of a few stories by one of my favorite authors (two longer ones framing a few short stories). Shea Taylor did very well and although I personally would have preferred them read by someone with a lower voice, I enjoyed listening to this reading in the end as the reader managed to bring out the atmosphere that is so important in Algernon Blackwood's writings and he made the speakers and actors become vividly real. Critique of the performance of "The Wendigo" I don't share, as this interpretation of Defago's distress is adequate and believable, while difficult to do by any reader. It would be minor even for those who don't like it, considering how well done this audiobook in general is. The only flaw for me was that the content only gives chapter numbers and no titles of stories, as if this was one novel. Maybe this could be fixed?! I thoroughly enjoyed this book.

Brilliant narration of exceptional writing.
If this haunting hair raising literature genre entertains you, then Algernon Blackwood will scare you most suitably.
Shea Taylor is brilliant as the narrator.
He tells the story, he does not simply read it. Thank you everyone, for several hours of excellent entertainment.

Terrible voices ruin the reading
The most excruciating attempt to convey screaming I’ve ever heard in an audiobook. Completely breaks any enjoyment. You wind up focusing on how bad the voice is and lose the story

almost but not quite
what would be an excellent collection or at least a very good collection is ruined by the longest, main story the Windigo where the narration is interspersed with voices that are so annoying and so rivaling and inappropriate that there is no way to listen to the story the wind to go to not even be tried. As for the other stories 5 repeats of very commonly anthologized stories once again reduce the appeal of this collection where are the narration is generally quite good though even when it doesn't have the weird psychotic voice as in the wind ago it still does become quite boring as if the reader is not really paying attention to what he is reading

Blackwood was an original
It has been many years since I read any Blackwood, and I was in the mood for something classic and chilling so I tried this collection. Some of the stories are perhaps too old-fashioned for modern tastes, but each one shows Blackwood's originality.
1. THE WENDIGO is well known and quite long. It could be edited down for a more focused story.
2. In THE OLIVE, a young man picks up an olive a feminine diner dropped and finds himself transported to an otherworldly experience.
3. Dutton didn't have an excuse to decline a house party invitation, so he finds himself in a mansion inhabited by a kleptomaniacal Irish spirit in THE GOBLIN'S COLLECTION.
4. A small gathering of sailors are spending the Easter holiday together when one of them is taken by a SEA FIT which involves pagan deities.
5. ANCIENT LIGHTS is about a Croydon surveyor's clerk who travels to assist a client in Sussex, but he will have to find him first.
6. THE PRAYER centers on a psychical experiment performed by O'Malley and Jones, two medical students.
7. THE WOOD OF THE DEAD is set in the Devon and Somerset countryside in full summer. A visitor to an inn finds himself in the presence of an uninvited companion.
8. AN EGYPTIAN HORNET, "though black and yellow, sounds like scarlet," terrifies Reverend Milligan after an April morning's bath.
9. THE OTHER WING is a children's story. When Tim is tucked up in bed each night, and just after the fire dies down, a head-and-shoulders of a figure looks in at the door.
10. THE SINGULAR DEATH OF MORTON. In the limestone hills of the Jura, a couple of climbers make their way back to their lodgings when they hear a young lady walking behind them....again.
11. A physicist, a young lady, and her parson-fiancé discuss the disappearance of a man into a "haunted grove," leading to philosophical speculations in ENTRANCE AND EXIT.
12. A KC and his clerk congratulate themselves for successfully exonerating a client on the grounds of insanity. The clerk is planning an alpine sporting holiday and asks to borrow THE KIT BAG for his expedition.
13. THE DAMNED. A gentleman makes a visit, in company with his sister, to a friends mansion in the country. His only concern is that he be left in peace to write.
Blackwood was ahead of his time, rather strange, and quite original when compared to his contemporary story writers. If you like unusual, old-fashioned stories, you might like these, but it might be best to read a couple of stories before you buy. I believe most are in the public domain.

Blackwood too wordy.
I finally lost patience with the endless palaver and couldn’t even make it through “Wendigo.” The bombast was so scary, I just couldn’t stand it anymore and had to stop listening out of sheer fright. .Meanwhile the narrator makes both of the Canadian hunting guides in “Wendigo” speak with accents that are bad imitations of Texan or Tennessean English. Blackwood can’t be blamed for that—I hope! Someone needs to explain to the young Englishman narrator the difference between North and South, eh?
