Often, he wrote about the untamed wilderness, from deserts to vast, primeval forests, vividly depicting a natural environment that is at once awe-inspiring, alien and hostile. Many of Blackwood's most famous tales - such as \u003cem\u003eThe Wendigo\u003c\/em\u003e and 'The Willows' (both included in this collection) - are set in the empty places of the world.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eLike his psychic detective 'John Silence', Blackwood was fascinated by elemental spirits, reincarnation, other dimensions, and higher states of consciousness. Wherever such things broke through, he sought them out, and now so can you in this comprehensive collection of his short fiction. As Blackwood explained himself: 'I believe it possible for our consciousness to change and grow, and that with this change we may become aware of a new universe.'\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eContents: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eNote on the Text\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eBibliography\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWorks by Algernon Blackwood\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eFurther Reading\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eA Haunted Island \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eA Case of Eavesdropping \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Empty House \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eKeeping His Promise \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eSmith: An Episode in a Lodging House \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Listener \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eMax Hensig - Bacteriologist and Murderer: A Story of New York\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Willows \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Insanity of Jones \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Woman's Ghost Story \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eA Psychical Invasion\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Nemesis of Fire \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eSecret Worship \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eEntrance and Exit\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Sea Fit\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Wendigo \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Deferred Appointment\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Damned\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eA Descent into Egypt\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eTransition\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Decoy\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Wolves of God\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eConfession\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Man Who Was Milligan\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Doll \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAppendix: Explorers' Ghost Stories \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 500\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 11, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46898363596975,"sku":"9781840229004","price":17.78,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0735\/3204\/7535\/files\/m5z8I3f3KU9781840229004.webp?v=1778451486","url":"https:\/\/literarylilith.com\/products\/the-wendigo-and-other-weird-tales-paperback","provider":"Literary LiLith","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
