"Every thing possible to be believ'd is an image of truth." - William BlakeThe Lure of the Unknown is a collection of Algernon Blackwood's essays, talks, reviews and anecdotes exploring encounters with the strange and unusual or, in Blackwood's preferred word, the "odd". They include his first attempts to investigate alleged haunted houses, his association with such luminaries as W. B. Yeats, "A. E.", and Gurdjieff; his thoughts on telepathy, reincarnation, elemental spirits, other dimensions, and his beliefs in what lies beyond our normal perceptions. These writings reveal not only Blackwood's diverse experiences, but his depth of reading and analysis of the unexplained. Few of these essays have been reprinted beyond their first publication or their broadcast on radio and television. They provide another dimension to an understanding of one of the great writers of the supernatural.

Algernon Blackwood (1869-1951) är en av den klassiska skräcklitteraturens verkliga giganter och hans inflytande är svårt att överskatta. H. P. Lovecraft ansåg honom vara en av de fyra stora mästarna tillsammans med Arthur Machen, M. R. James och Lord Dunsany, och kallade hans novell ”Videbuskarna” (The Willows) för världens främsta övernaturliga berättelse. Märkligt nog har han inte förrän nu fått en ordentlig introduktion i Sverige. "Videbuskarna och andra vidunderliga berättelser" innehåller 13 av hans bästa och mest kända skräck- och spökhistorier, som härmed presenteras i en lyhörd översättning av KG Johansson.

'Back from the shouting floor and ceiling came the chorus of images that stormed and clamoured for expression. Jones lay still and listened; he let them come. There was nothing else to do.' Algernon Blackwood was one of the most influential writers of twentieth-century weird and supernatural fiction. He once told a correspondent that every story he wrote was based on either a personal experience or that of someone he knew, and thus the vast collection of short stories and novels published in his lifetime can be seen to form a kind of autobiography. In this collection of his most atmospheric and uneasy tales, Mike Ashley provides the facts of Blackwood's life which inspired each story - including experiences as an intelligence agent in the First World War and adventures in New York - to tell the parallel tale of the author's lifetime of the supernatural.
