Algernon Blackwood, a journalist and broadcast narrator, was one of the most prolific writers of ghost stories in the history of the genre.

In "e;The Glamour of the Snow,"e; Blackwood winds a tale about a man's infatuation with a supernatural winter beauty. In "e;The Attic,"e; the ghost of an usurer haunts the old Chateaux and, on the anniversary of a young boy's death, the boy's cat brings the family together. "e;The Willows"e; follows two campers who are on a canoe trip down the Danube, with the sense of a looming threat following them. When darkness falls, they pick the wrong place to sleep for the night-a place where another dimension impinges on our own. American horror author H. P.
