The Promise of Air
Algernon Blackwood
Paperback
(CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform, Sept. 18, 2017)
British author Algernon Blackwood was a remarkably influential figure in the genre of "weird" terror. His tales rely on gradually mounting suspense and a sense of discomforting dislocation, rather than gore or explicit horror. The Promise of Air is a classic example of the unique brand of weird fiction that Blackwood pioneered.
