Beschreibung

In "Three John Silence Stories," Algernon Blackwood crafts a trio of enthralling supernatural tales that delve into the complexities of the human psyche when confronted with the inexplicable. Written in a rich, atmospheric prose that evokes the natural world and its dark mysteries, these stories reflect the early 20th-century fascination with the paranormal and the spiritual. Blackwood's protagonist, Dr. John Silence, is a psychical investigator whose rational intellect clashes with the eerie forces he encounters, inviting the reader to explore themes of fear, otherness, and the intersections of science and the occult. Algernon Blackwood (1869-1951) was an English author who gained prominence for his supernatural fiction, inspired by his experiences in nature and his interests in mysticism and spirituality. His extensive travels and exposure to various cultures cultivated a deep appreciation for folklore and the unseen realms, which profoundly influenced his writing. Blackwood's own fascination with the metaphysical and his meditation on the intimate bond between humanity and nature shine through in these stories, offering a glimpse into the author's inner world. "Three John Silence Stories" is a must-read for those captivated by the delicate balance between reality and the supernatural. Blackwood's masterful storytelling not only entertains but also provokes thoughtful reflection on the nature of existence and the unseen forces that shape our lives. For fans of gothic literature and psychological horror, this collection invites you to lose yourself in Blackwood's haunting narratives, promising a mesmerizing journey into the unknown.

    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.
