Product Description
Review
Algernon Blackwood, who died 50 years ago this year, was one of the greatest writers of supernatural fiction of the 20th century. Yet he remains a mysterious figure, despite a published autobiography, Episodes Before Thirty. This, as its title suggests, covers only the period up to 1899 and ends, "Of mystical, psychic or so-called 'occult' experiences, I have purposely said nothing." There was much to be said: Blackwood was no ordinary writer of ghost stories or weird fiction. To him there was no supernatural: all was natural. He published over 200 stories and a dozen novels, and these have long acquired the reputation of being among the very best in the genre. Mike Ashley is the perfect chronicler of Blackwood's remarkable life. His knowledge of genre fiction is encyclopaedic, and as one of the most respected editors in the field, his Blackwood biography, of course, can be relied upon to be quite as well written as it is definitive. Starlight Man is the book that will send many readers to the remarkable fiction of Blackwood.

'What is so pleasurable about this biography is the freshness of untrodden territory.'
