Algernon Blackwood
Beyond the familiar world lies another-strange, beautiful, terrifying, and sometimes only a single step away.In Day and Night Stories, Algernon Blackwood gathers fifteen tales in which ordinary lives brush against forces that defy rational explanation. A long-promised reunion takes an eerie turn in The Tryst; the ancient presence of Pan awakens beneath the surface of modern existence in The Touch of Pan; Egyptian mysteries cast their shadows across The Wings of Horus and A Desert Episode; while The Occupant of the Room and A Victim of Higher Space draw their characters toward disturbing encounters with realities beyond normal human perception.Moving effortlessly between ghostly terror, mystical wonder, psychological unease, and supernatural mystery, Blackwood reveals a universe far larger and stranger than it first appears. Day and Night Stories is a compelling collection from one of the great masters of supernatural fiction, inviting readers into haunted rooms, ancient landscapes, hidden dimensions, and those unsettling moments when the unseen suddenly becomes real.
