Sorry for the delay, but here are results of the recent online poll of Algernon Blackwood readers. All told, 13 individuals participated, which was much higher than I anticipated. In terms of the mechanics of coming up with list, I assigned points using each story's ranking, with 1 netting 10 points, 2 netting 9 points, and so on. I'll be running a similar poll on Arthur Machen sometime in early February.
