Ben TuckerNARRATOR
Through various ages, we have progressed to the ghost story of the 18th and 19th centuries, until today in the 20th, we are seeing a modern style, which the new science is modifying materially.
Ben TuckerNARRATOR
High among the stories in this volume, one must recognize the masterful art of Algernon Blackwood's The Woman's Ghost Story.
Ben TuckerNARRATOR
I was interested in psychic things, says the woman as she starts to tell her story simply, with a sweep toward the climax that has the ring of the truth in fiction.
Ben TuckerNARRATOR
Here, perhaps, we have the modern style of ghost story at its best.

Tony WalkerHOST
And the mystery of Egypt.
Tony WalkerHOST
And that went on, even if you read something like Algernon Blackwood's The Descent into Egypt.
Tony WalkerHOST
It's a very mystical story about the power of the past to possess.
Tony WalkerHOST
And in Blackwood, of course, Blackwood's very interested in how the world can basically gobble up the soul of, I'm simplifying a little bit, but the man and the trees love the same thing about the great powers of the natural world, which are superhuman.
Darren MarlarHOST
Forms of which poetry and legend alone have caught a flying memory and called them gods, monsters, mythical beings of all sorts and kinds.
Darren MarlarHOST
Algernon Blackwood The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents.
Darren MarlarHOST
We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far.
Darren MarlarHOST
The sciences, each straining in its own direction, have hitherto harmed us little.
Leigh BlackmoreGUEST
It's always amazing to me when you hear a writer reading their own work.
Leigh BlackmoreGUEST
I recently came across recordings of Algernon Blackwood and Arthur Macken, which I didn't even know existed, reading work that they'd written themselves and hearing hearing the writer's voice just brings their stuff to life so yeah i don't know if there's any drake recordings but it'd be wonderful to find something
Mark GriffinHOST

Leigh BlackmoreGUEST
More, you know, more things to research.
J. F. MartelHOST
But the middle part of the book, The Two Towers- ... is, uh, as beautifully written as the first, but I was struck with some of the writing in there, especially his writing about Mordor and evil and the weird.
J. F. MartelHOST
There are passages in this book that sound straight out of, I don't know, Algernon Blackwood or H.P. Lovecraft.
J. F. MartelHOST
There's some-

speaker_4NARRATOR
The Wood of the Dead by Algernon Blackwood one summer in my wanderings with a knapsack i was at luncheon in the room of a wayside inn in the western country when the door opened and there entered an old rustic who crossed close to my end of the table and sat himself down very quietly in the seat by the bow window we exchanged glances or properly speaking nods for at the moment i did not actually raise my eyes to his face so concerned was i with the important business of satisfying an appetite gained by tramping twelve miles over a difficult country The fine warm rain of seven o'clock, which had since risen in a kind of luminous mist about the treetops, now floated far overhead in a deep blue sky, and the day was settling down into a blaze of golden light.
speaker_4NARRATOR
It was one of those days peculiar, to Somerset, in North Devon, when the orchards shine and the meadows seem to add a radiance of their own, so brilliantly soft are the colorings of grass and foliage.
speaker_4NARRATOR
The innkeeper's daughter, a little maiden with a simple country loveliness, presently entered with a foaming pewter mug, inquired after my welfare, and went out again.
