This book is a result of an effort made by us towards making a contribution to the preservation and repair of original classic literature. In an attempt to preserve, improve and recreate the original content, we have worked towards: 1. Type-setting & Reformatting: The complete work has been re-designed via professional layout, formatting and type-setting tools to re-create the same edition with rich typography, graphics, high quality images, and table elements, giving our readers the feel of holding a 'fresh and newly' reprinted and/or revised edition, as opposed to other scanned & printed (Optical Character Recognition - OCR) reproductions. 2. Correction of imperfections: As the work was re-created from the scratch, therefore, it was vetted to rectify certain conventional norms with regard to typographical mistakes, hyphenations, punctuations, blurred images, missing content/pages, and/or other related subject matters, upon our consideration. Every attempt was made to rectify the imperfections related to omitted constructs in the original edition via other references. However, a few of such imperfections which could not be rectified due to intentional\unintentional omission of content in the original edition, were inherited and preserved from the original work to maintain the authenticity and construct, relevant to the work. We believe that this work holds historical, cultural and/or intellectual importance in the literary works community, therefore despite the oddities, we accounted the work for print as a part of our continuing effort towards preservation of literary work and our contribution towards the development of the society as a whole, driven by our beliefs. We are grateful to our readers for putting their faith in us and accepting our imperfections with regard to preservation of the historical content. HAPPY READING!

Autorenporträt
Algernon Henry Blackwood, CBE, was an English broadcasting narrator, journalist, novelist, and short story writer, and one of the genre's most prolific writers. According to literary critic S. T. Joshi, "His work is more consistently meritorious than any weird writer's except Dunsany's" and that his short story collection Incredible Adventures (1914) "may be the premier weird collection of this or any other century". Blackwood was born at Shooter's Hill (now part of southeast London, once part of northwest Kent). Between 1871 and 1880, he lived at Crayford Manor House in Crayford and attended Wellington College. Throughout his adult life, he wrote sporadic essays for journals. In his late thirties, he came back to England and began writing spooky fiction. He was successful, having written at least eleven original collections of short stories and later broadcasting them on radio and television. He also penned 14 novels, many children's books, and a number of plays, the most of which were produced but not published. He was a huge fan of nature and the outdoors, as many of his stories show. To further his curiosity in the supernatural, he joined The Ghost Club. He never married; according to his friends, he was a recluse who also enjoyed company.
