Best Stories
His best stories in one book. Great horror classics, my favorite is The Willows with the unspeakable horror out in the boonies. I can see where Lovecraft got his thing.

Great ghost stories written in lovely prose.
Lots of stories packed in in small type.

A MASTERPIECE!
The Algernon Blackwood Classics Collection exemplifies Blackwood’s skill in horror and supernatural fiction. “The Wendigo” and “The Willows” stand out for their atmospheric suspense and merging of the natural with the supernatural. “The Centaur” and “Incredible Adventures” explore mystical and metaphysical themes. This collection is a testament to Blackwood’s influential role in shaping early horror and weird fiction. I loved each and every one of them. A masterpiece.

Poorly Formatted
Poorly formatted softbound book with small print, pages cropped very close to text, and no page numbers. Also, Blackwood’s masterful novella, The Centaur, is NOT included, although the book’s description claims that it is.

Fantastic and just what I was looking for!!
This was a gift for my boyfriend since he is a huge HP Lovecraft fan. This was the perfect book for him. He got his gift yesterday and has already started reading the book. I can tell he adores it already!

Sticky cover, bad formatting, tiny font
A book made by people who who never hold books in their hands and read - the cover material is disgusting and sticky chemical compound, the text is tiny without ANY space between paragraphs or stories themselves.

Desagradável graficamente.
Péssima encardenação. Letras miudas e pouco visíveis. Parece um xerox do original.
