Algernon Blackwood

ALGERNON BLACKWOOD (1869-1951) was an English broadcaster, journalist, and author who wrote (and narrated over the radio and television) some of the most prolific ghost stories in the history of the genre. A lover of nature with a lifelong interest in the supernatural, he wrote many collections of short stories, fourteen novels, several children’s books, and a number of plays, too. H.P. Lovecraft described Blackwood as “the one absolute and unquestioned master of weird atmosphere.”
