Ancient Sorceries and Other Weird Stories by Algernon Blackwood Book Summary

Algernon Blackwood's spooky stories remain as dark, chilling and readable today as the time they were first published at the beginning of the 20th century.
Algernon Blackwood was well-regarded in life as a master of the short horror story. Intertwining the supernatural and unexplained into a series of compelling narratives, the reader is left confused, scared and thrilled by the occurrences that puzzle, traumatize and terrify his characters. His deft use of ambiguous endings leave the reader to interpret what may have happened. 
This superb anthology contains many of Blackwood's finest and scariest tales. The full list is as follows, in order of their appearance: 
Smith: An Episode in a Lodging-House 
The Willows 
The Insanity of Jones 
Ancient Sorceries 
The Man Who Found Out 
The Wendigo 
The Glamour of the Snow 
The Man Whom The Trees Loved 
Sand
Algernon Blackwood was an enormous influence on H.P. Lovecraft (who himself would term Blackwood a 'master' of the craft of supernatural storytelling) and other horror authors. Together with strange and frightening tales, he was an enthusiastic author of essays and plays. As well as the 'weird' fiction for which he was famed, Blackwood would also write ordinary stories and tales aimed at younger audiences.
