Book Description
"Incredible Adventures" is a collection of five novellas by Algernon Blackwood. The novellas share a common theme: losing our spiritual nature and efforts to return to the basics. Each story has a different plot. "The Regeneration of Lord Ernie," tells about a professor who suddenly found a strange cult in the mountains of France that worships the elemental forces of air and fire. "The Damned" tells about adventures in a haunted house. Some stories are horrors. Yet, each evokes the desire to study the mysterious forces of nature and our spirit.

Book Description
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....

Book Description
This early work by Algernon Blackwood was originally published in 1920 and we are now republishing it with a brand new introductory biography as part of our Cryptofiction Classics series. 'Running Wolf' is a short story of a supernatural native American werewolf in the Canadian wilderness. Algernon Henry Blackwood was born in Shooter's Hill, South East England, in 1869. In his youth he trained as a doctor at Wellington College in Berkshire, and went on to pursue a number of careers, in areas as varied as milk farming, modelling, journalism and violin teaching. In his thirties, Blackwood returned to England from New York, where he had spent a number of years, and began to write stories of the supernatural. Blackwood was extremely prolific, producing over the course of his life some ten original collections of short stories, fourteen novels, several children's books, and a number of plays. The Cryptofiction Classics series contains a collection of wonderful stories from some of the greatest authors in the genre, including Ambrose Bierce, Arthur Conan Doyle, Robert Louis Stevenson, and Jack London. From its roots in cryptozoology, this genre features bizarre, fantastical, and often terrifying tales of mythical and legendary creatures. Whether it be giant spiders, werewolves, lake monsters, or dinosaurs, the Cryptofiction Classics series offers a fantastic introduction to the world of weird creatures in fiction.

Excerpt from Tales From "Blackwood," Vol. 3: Being the Most Famous Series of Stories Ever Published, Especially Selected From That Celebrated English Publication A little apart from the band sat groups of elder ladies, chatting among themselves, watching their portly husbands and slim daughters promenading round the musicians; among them little children trotting about, daintily dressed, and bonnes with large white coifs on their heads and knitting in their hands. Over all, the sunny sky of France, blue, bright, and gay, smiling through the tender green of the young foliage, and re ecting itself beauteously in the fair river.

Book Description
Algernon Henry Blackwood, (1869 - 1951) was an English short story writer and novelist, one of the most prolific writers of ghost stories in the history of the genre. His work is more consistently meritorious than any weird writer's and that his short story collection Incredible Adventures (1914) is the premier weird collection of this century. His two best known stories are probably "The Willows" and "The Wendigo." He would also often write stories for newspapers. Though Blackwood wrote a number of horror stories, his most typical work seeks less to frighten than to induce a sense of awe. Good examples are the novels The Centaur, which climaxes with a traveller's sight of a herd of the mythical creatures. In this book: The Damned The Wendigo The Willows The Garden of Survival The Human Chord Day and Night Stories The Empty House and other Ghost Stories Incredible Adventures The Centaur Three John Silence Stories Three More John Silence Stories Four Weird Tales
