"He is the one absolute and unquestioned master of weird atmosphere," pronounced H. P. Lovecraft of Algernon Blackwood (1869-1951). The preeminent British supernaturalist of the twentieth century, Blackwood combined elements of philosophy and modern psychology to introduce a new sophistication to a genre formerly dominated by traditional ghost stories. Blackwood's second legendary collection of stories includes: "The Listener" "Max Hensig: Bacteriologist and Murderer" "The Willows" "The Insanity of Jones: A Study in Reincarnation" "The Dance of Death" "The Old Man of Visions" "May Day Eve" "Miss Slumbubble and Claustrophobia" "The Woman's Ghost Story"
