The Willows and Other Tales of Terror — Algernon Blackwood

"The most thorough, quality collection of Blackwood's weird tales since the 1970s. The illustrations are chilling, the notes illuminating, and the selection extensive..." Welcomed by many as the most skillful practitioner of the British weird tale, Algernon Blackwood was capable of simultaneously creating a misanthropic, Lovecraftian cosmos devoid of compassion for petty, materialistic mankind, and a transcendental, Emersonian universe, pregnant with spirituality and wonder. At once horrifying and fantastical, chilling and euphoric, Blackwood's poetic prose and undisputed mastery of psychological terror make him an unavoidable giant in the realms of weird fiction, fantasy, and horror.
