Appendix Z Algernon Blackwood
Blackwood
is one of Lovecraft and CAS' literary fathers. I had heard of him long before I
ever read any of his works and his writing did not disappoint. His short story
'The Willows' is a pre-mythos tale and perhaps one directly linked to
Lovecraft's development of the elder horror or CAS touch of the wondrous and the
macabre. Blackwood can take the mundane and drag it into darkness; into a realm
of disturbing horror and otherness. His work is a great example of how to take
a 'mundane' fantasy adventure and twist it into something much stranger and
grander and frightening.
