BLACKWOOD ALGERNON ANCIENT SORCERIES

Penguin Weird Fiction: a celebration of the very best of the weird  a store of novels and tales
that for generations have delighted and horrified. Welcome to the casebook of Dr John Silence 
Physician Extraordinary. After a long and severe training - five years he was gone from the
face of the earth  travelling who knows where - Silence returned to England as the greatest
occult detective of the age. When he takes up an investigation  when he comes to the aid of
some poor  frightened soul  you can be sure it will lead to the most strange and terrifying of
circumstances: from pagan magic in remote France to battles with ancient Egyptian fire spirits
and from geometry defying alternate dimensions to the most macabre of haunted houses. Some of
the first works written by Algernon Blackwood - one of the twentieth century's ghost story
writers - these John Silence tales are a visionary blend of horror  fantasy and science fiction
and remain today as some of pinnacle achievements of Weird Fiction. 'Algernon Blackwood's
stories chill the blood' Guardian
