Book was worth it for the haunting tale of "The Glamour of the Snow" by itself. Were you to try and collect all four tales on their own it would cost you upwards of $14 last I looked, so this compilation is an outright bargain! Get it this gem now lest the price goes up!For more good works with a Halloween theme please see my other reviews including a brief description along with appropriate age group for "Ghosties" by Gerald Hawksley children "Mr. Spider (Spooky Spook)" by Hollyn Overton for children, "Don't Lend A Monster Your Favorite Toy" by Elwyn Tate for children, "My Mommy is a Zombie" by Nicholas Benedict, children "Terra Vonnel and the Skulls of Aries" by D.

Four Weird Tales edition by Algernon Blackwood Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
The stories were good but way too much description! I prefer simpler wording since I'm not a scholar.
I've had a thing for Blackwood ever since his story "The Willows" scared me almost to death in Junior High. That story does not appear in this book. The four tales in this volume are "The Insanity of Jones," "The Man Who Found Out," "The Glamour of the Snow," and "Sand." The last is by far the longest. None rises to the level of "The Willows" for weirdness, but all are better than "The Wendigo," the least enjoyable of Blackwood's works. Blackwood manages to capture a sense of brooding upon the numinous in most of his stories, and these are no exception.
sand. it is the longest, most boring story i have ever read. purple prose to the extreme. he must have gotten paid by the paragraph. seriously, this story could have been reduced to 1/4 of its size. algernon should pay me for even reading this. AVOID
HP Lovecraft is always great!
4 stories...all have something different to show you. The Glamour of the Snow is probably the weakest story of the four. It's simple, and predictable, but not bad. Sand, in my opinion, is the jewel here. If you are a fan if Lovecraft, you will see how Blackwood influenced him most obviously in this story. It has forbidden magic, it has the typical first person voice Lovecraft used, and it has the desert. It's a great find.
For fans of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, there's mystery here. For fans of Ashton Smith, of Machen, and of Lovecraft there's eldritch and otherworldly horror. But beyond that Blackwood's works are unique in their ability to evoke an almost spiritual sense of awe.
Okay, I didn't read the first nor the last story (a bit too long for my taste). I did read The Man Who Found Out and The Glamour of the Snow. Both deliver enough spooks to make it worthwhile.
The Man Who Found Out is about a mysterious set of tablets and even though this was written like a hundred years ago, it still stands out for being unique in the way it sets the mood and in the unusual and funny way it ends. I was not expecting that ending.
The Glamour of the Snow, although the story tells you what is happening, it still is unnerving to think that the main character is just going along with this stranger, not thinking about the possible consequences.
Both stories leave a lot of room for your imagination; they are open-ended in their conclusions and while that may not suit everyone, I was impressed.
Book was worth it for the haunting tale of "The Glamour of the Snow" by itself. Were you to try and collect all four tales on their own it would cost you upwards of $14 last I looked, so this compilation is an outright bargain! Get it this gem now lest the price goes up!
