This collection assembles four of Blackwood's greatest stories: "The Insanity of Jones," "The Man Who Found Out," "The Glamour of the Snow," and "Sand." Algernon Blackwood was truly one of the progenitors of the weird fiction/fantasy genre!

Algernon Blackwood's 'Four Weird Tales' is a collection of supernatural stories that delve into the unknown, the mysterious, and the inexplicable. Blackwood's literary style is characterized by a subtle build-up of tension, creating an atmosphere of dread and unease that keeps readers on the edge of their seats. These tales are rooted in the late 19th and early 20th century gothic tradition, drawing on themes of the supernatural, the occult, and the uncanny. The stories are intricately woven, with richly developed characters and vivid descriptions that transport readers to eerie and unsettling settings. Blackwood's ability to blend psychological horror with elements of the supernatural sets 'Four Weird Tales' apart as a standout work of the genre. Algernon Blackwood, a master of the supernatural and horror genres, drew on his own experiences and travels to inspire his writing. His deep interest in the occult and the unknown is reflected in the haunting and otherworldly stories contained in this collection. Blackwood's unique perspective and storytelling skills have cemented his legacy as a classic author of weird fiction. I highly recommend 'Four Weird Tales' to readers who enjoy atmospheric and thought-provoking supernatural fiction. Blackwood's ability to evoke a sense of dread and wonder makes this collection a must-read for fans of the gothic and supernatural genres.

Adventures come to the adventurous, and mysterious things fall in the way of those who, with wonder and imagination, are on the watch for them; but the majority of people go past the doors that are half ajar, thinking them closed, and fail to notice the faint stirrings of the great curtain that hangs ever in the form of appearances between them and the world of causes behind. For only to the few whose inner senses have been quickened, perchance by some strange suffering in the depths, or by a natural temperament bequeathed from a remote past, comes the knowledge, not too welcome, that this greater world lies ever at their elbow, and that any moment a chance combination of moods and forces may invite them to cross the shifting frontier. Some, however, are born with this awful certainty in their hearts, and are called to no apprenticeship, and to this select company Jones undoubtedly belonged. All his life he had realised that his senses brought to him merely a more or less interesting set of sham appearances; that space, as men measure it, was utterly misleading; that time, as the clock ticked it in a succession of minutes, was arbitrary nonsense; and, in fact, that all his sensory perceptions were but a clumsy representation of real things behind the curtain—things he was for ever trying to get at, and that sometimes he actually did get at. He had always been tremblingly aware that he stood on the borderland of another region, a region where time and space were merely forms of thought, where ancient memories lay open to the sight, and where the forces behind each human life stood plainly revealed and he could see the hidden springs at the very heart of the world. Moreover, the fact that he was a clerk in a fire insurance office, and did his work with strict attention, never allowed him to forget for one moment that, just beyond the dingy brick walls where the hundred men scribbled with pointed pens beneath the electric lamps, there existed this glorious region where the important part of himself dwelt and moved and had its being. For in this region he pictured himself playing the part of a spectator to his ordinary workaday life, watching, like a king, the stream of events, but untouched in his own soul by the dirt, the noise, and the vulgar commotion of the outer world....
