The Listener by Algernon Blackwood is a collection of supernatural tales that explores the boundaries between the physical and spiritual worlds. The stories are set in various locations, including England, France, and Canada, and feature a range of characters, from wealthy aristocrats to humble laborers. Each story centers around an encounter with the supernatural, whether it be a ghostly apparition, a mysterious force, or a haunting presence. The characters are often forced to confront their own beliefs and fears as they navigate these strange and otherworldly experiences. Blackwood's writing is atmospheric and evocative, creating a sense of unease and tension that builds throughout each story. The Listener is a classic work of supernatural fiction that continues to captivate readers with its eerie and haunting tales.The same walls, too, carried mirrors in which I used sometimes to see reflected the misty lawns of childhood, the daisy chains, the wind-torn blossoms scattered through the orchard by warm rains, the robbers' cave in the long walk, and the hidden store of apples in the hayloft. She was my inseparable companion then--but, when the door slammed, the mirrors cracked across their entire length, and the visions they held vanished for ever. Now I am quite alone. At forty one cannot begin all over again to build up careful friendships, and all others are comparatively worthless.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
