Born in 1869, Blackwood wrote hundreds of ghost stories, weird tales, and mystical narratives that explored the relationship between humanity and the natural world with a power and subtlety that has rarely been equalled. His most celebrated works include The Willows, The Wendigo, and John Silence, which are considered masterpieces of the supernatural genre.
