Four Weird Tales

This collection assembles four of Blackwood's greatest stories: "e;The Insanity of Jones,"e; "e;The Man Who Found Out,"e; "e;The Glamour of the Snow,"e; and "e;Sand."e; The son of a preacher, Blackwood had a life-long interest in the supernatural, the occult, and spiritualism, and firmly believed that humans possess latent psychic powers.

In the late 1940s, Blackwood had a television program on the BBC on which he read . . . ghost stories!
