His father was a Post Office administrator who, according to Peter Penzoldt, ""though not devoid of genuine good-heartedness, had appallingly narrow religious ideas"".Blackwood had a varied career, farming in Canada, operating a hotel, as a newspaper reporter in New York City, and, throughout his adult life, an occasional essayist for various periodicals. In his late thirties, he moved back to England and started to write stories of the superna.

    Sometimes, staying alive during the apocalypse is harder than dying. 
Jack and Linda live a peaceful married life on their farm. Then, one day, The Collapse comes before they can adequately prepare, changing the world as they know it - and with it, their lives. 
Now, Jack is all alone, wandering the rooms of the spacious house, painfully reminded of Linda's presence wherever he looks. He can't leave the farm - if the bloodthirsty flesh-eaters don't get to him, then the crazed humans surviving in isolation will. 
There is something else keeping Jack on the farm. Something far too valuable to him – and his attachment to it could spell his demise.

    There is something about the number 3.    
 
The Ancient Greeks believed 3 was the perfect number, and in China 3 has always been a lucky number, and they know a thing or two.   
 
Most religions also have 3 this and 3 that and, of course, in these more modern times, three’s a crowd may be too many, except when it’s a ménage à trois.  It seems good things usually come in threes. 
 
Whatever history and culture says WE think 3, a hat-trick of stories, is a great number to explore themes and literary avenues that classic authors were so adept at creating. 
 
From their pens to your your ears.
