Centaur

The Centaur is one of the greatest "e;mystical"e; works by Blackwood, wherein he explores man's empathy with the unknown forces of the universe. Algernon Henry Blackwood, CBE (14 March 1869 - 10 December 1951) was an English short story writer and novelist, one of the most prolific writers of ghost stories in the history of the genre. He was also a journalist and a broadcasting narrator. S. T. Joshi has stated that "e;his work is more consistently meritorious than any weird writer's except Dunsany's"e; and that his short story collection Incredible Adventures (1914) "e;may be the premier weird collection of this or any other century"e;.
