A lonely, absent friend . . . Bill and Frances hadn't seen Mabel since her husband died. When she invited Bill and Frances out for some quiet weeks on her palatial estate, the place felt so deeply, spiritually wrong that neither one of them wanted to sleep alone. It was a place that was very, very wrong, a place where nothing came to completion. Perhaps it was haunted. Perhaps it was worse. (Jacketless library hardcover.)
Author Biography
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. He was also a journalist and a broadcasting narrator. S. T. Joshi has stated that "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."
