Art Heals Wounds: Followers for Algernon
Friday, July 30, 2010
The worthwhile Art Heals Wounds blog has done an excellent snapshot on Algernon Blackwood's weird works. It also gives a mini-review of a public reading of his stories done in the UK earlier this July. This post doesn't just summarize Blackwood's fiction, but succinctly and accurately presents the themes this bygone weird master hoped to convey. His appropriation of Nature as a mystical and sometimes terrible force, as well as his keen sense of human consciousness, are discussed. All in all, the article is more evidence in a mass file strongly indicating Blackwood's potential to enjoy an expanded readership.
