[neverending]

I'm not sure how old I was- 12 or 13 I imagine- and my parents gave me a book entitled Tales of the Uncanny and Supernatural by Algernon Blackwood. I was already a died in the wool horror fan so this big heavy hardback book delighted me. Some of the stories were hard to understand as the language was somewhat archaic, but that only made things more interesting. I loved the stories and remain a fan of Mr. Blackwood's to this day.
