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. His work is more consistent-ly meritorious than any weird writer's and that his short story collection Incredible Adventures (1914) is the premier weird collection of this century.
His two best known stories are probably "The Willows" and "The Wendigo". He would also often write stories for newspapers. Though Blackwood wrote a number of horror stories, his most typical work seeks less to frighten than to induce a sense of awe. Good examples are the novels The Centaur, which climaxes with a traveller's sight of a herd of the mythical creatures.
