The Lost Valley and Other Stories


Lu par Ben Tucker

(4.7 stars; 10 reviews)

In this collection of otherworldly and mystifying stories from the master of weird fiction Algernon Blackwood, we are treated to the classic tale of cryptid folklore "The Wendigo", the starcrossed love triangle between twin brothers and an entrancing woman that reaches into the beyond in "The Lost Valley", a strange tale of reincarnation in "Old Clothes", the darkly comic grotesque of "The Price of Wiggins's Orgy", the ethereal altruistic vision of "The Eccentricity of Simon Parnacute" and more beautifully written and darkly haunting tales. (Summary by Ben Tucker) (9 hr 32 min)

Critiques

Wow. These are wonderful stories! Each so different. The second one a really cool ghost story. We'll written and of course we'll read! Check this one out!


(5 stars)

Some very unusual stories by Blackwood. Some have a religious touch that makes them more sweet or thoughtful, rather than spooky. Always enjoy this narrator.

Loved it!
