Algernon Blackwood sets the readers in a scary and dreadful atmosphere which only the bravest can endure. B. J. Harrison started his Classic Tales Podcast back in 2007, wanting to breathe new life into classic stories. He masterfully plays with a wide array of voices and accents and has since then produced over 500 audiobooks. Now in collaboration with SAGA Egmont, his engaging narration of these famous classics is available to readers everywhere. Algernon Blackwood was an English author who lived in the period 1869-1951. He left a large literary legacy behind, but he is to be remember mostly for stories about ghosts and supernatural occurrences. His personal life and the many travels he embarked on through the world had a major influence upon his works. He had a life-long interest in spiritualism and the occult, the reason for which can be seen in the fact that his father was a preacher. Blackwood wrote several novels, essays, children’s books, plays as well, but his ghost tales, which create "a weird atmosphere" are the ones that remain in the reader’s mind.
