Hörbuch: Ten Minute Stories

Noted author of weird fiction Algernon Blackwood brings us a collection of shorter stories than some of his more well-known tales of terror. These stories illustrate the true breath of Blackwood's talent beyond just that of a purveyor of the supernatural. In addition to strange occurrences, mysterious phenomena, bizarre dreams and tales of the just plain weird contained herein, we also see a more jovial and comedic side of Blackwood as he pokes good-natured fun at the foibles of social manner in upper class society. We also see Blackwood's poetic prose in service of illustrating his love of nature in stories such as "Wind" and "Pines". This collection captures a master stretching his wings and showing the extent of his talent beyond what he was popularly known for. (Summary by Ben Tucker)
