Algernon Blackwood was born on this date, March 14, in the long ago year of 1869. He died December 10, 1951.
Blackwood is best remembered today for his horror and ghost stories. I’ve not read much of his work. The only story I’m certain I’ve read is “The Willows”. His complete work is available in an inexpensive electronic edition. I’ve got a copy, and I’ll try to read something of his tonight.
I think I re-read “The Wendigo” last year. Good stuff.
I know I’ve read “The Willows” but I should give it a re-read – don’t recall the details.
I read “The Willows” sometime last year. I don’t think I’ve read “The Wendigo.”
I have a collection of his stories I need to read.
I read “The Empty House” and “The Wendigo” last night. I’ll be reading more of his work.
So far the only story of his I read was the Willows which I read in the anthology The Weird.
I liked that one, although I thought it was a little long.
That’s how I felt.
