Incredible Adventures

Incredible Adventures

by Algernon Blackwood

This collection of stories by Algernon Blackwood takes readers on incredible adventures to wild rites on nocturnal hills, to secret and terrible aspects lurking behind stolid scenes, and to unimaginable vaults of mystery below the sands and pyramids of Egypt. With a serious finesse and delicacy that convinces where a cruder or lighter treatment would merely amuse, Blackwood's atmospheric prose creates a sense of unease and wonder that will stay with readers long after they finish the book.
