Book Overview

by Algernon Blackwood (Author)

Set against the terrifying and tense backdrop of the First World War, this Algernon Blackwood tale is a masterful example of weird literature and a classic short horror story.

First published in 1921, this anti-war tale follows the protagonist as he leaves his Holy Order and finds work with the Red Cross in France. Dedicating his life to helping in the hospitals and convalescent camps, he discovers the true horrors of war. He finds peace and respite during walks in the forest but soon encounters a strange, comely woman who entraps him in her curious rituals.
