Algernon Henry Blackwood, CBE was a British short story writer and novelist, who possessed an expertise in writing ghost stories in its categorical history. He was also a journalist and a broadcasting writer. S. T. Joshi described that “his work is more consistently meritorious than any weird writer’s except Dunsany’s” and that his short story which is Incredible Adventures “may be the premier weird collection of this or any other century”. Blackwood was born in Shooter’s Hill and moved at Crayford Manor House, Crayford and went schooling at Wellington College. His father was an executive at the Post Office who, as conceded by Peter Penzoldt, “though not devoid of genuine good-heartedness, had appallingly narrow religious ideas‘’. Blackwood had worked in different fields, as a dairy farmer in Canada, where he also worked in a hotel for six months, as a newspaper anchor in New York City, bartender, model, journalist for the New York Times, private clerk, businessman, and violin teacher. He was a casual essay writer for distinct publications. He wrote supernatural stories in his later days. He was a prolific writer, and wrote about ten short story collections and advertise them on radio and television. He also wrote fourteen novels, numbers of children’s books, and many plays, produced but not printed. He was fond of nature and the extremes, and most of his works are stirred through these. Since he was a fan of the supernatural, he joined The Ghost Club. He never married because his friends said he was an introvert but a perky man.
