Algernon Blackwood 
The Wolves of God and Other Fey Stories 

Although Blackwood wrote a number of horror stories, his most typical work seeks less to frighten than to induce a sense of awe…Algernon Henry Blackwood 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’.
