Objectivist fiction at its best. Dreams and realities that bite and growl, scurry and dare. A squad of commandos and a tough cop slightly out of her depth. A handsome young detective baffled by an old Marine and a glamorous widow. A hotel encounter that changes two lives for the better, provided that they can successfully escape the glare of gossip rags, paparazzi, and lawyers. If Wolf DeVoon wrote it, be prepared for anything.

Algernon Blackwood's 'Four Weird Tales' is a collection of supernatural stories that delve into the unknown, the mysterious, and the inexplicable. Blackwood's literary style is characterized by a subtle build-up of tension, creating an atmosphere of dread and unease that keeps readers on the edge of their seats. These tales are rooted in the late 19th and early 20th century gothic tradition, drawing on themes of the supernatural, the occult, and the uncanny. The stories are intricately woven, with richly developed characters and vivid descriptions that transport readers to eerie and unsettling settings. Blackwood's ability to blend psychological horror with elements of the supernatural sets 'Four Weird Tales' apart as a standout work of the genre. Algernon Blackwood, a master of the supernatural and horror genres, drew on his own experiences and travels to inspire his writing. His deep interest in the occult and the unknown is reflected in the haunting and otherworldly stories contained in this collection. Blackwood's unique perspective and storytelling skills have cemented his legacy as a classic author of weird fiction. I highly recommend 'Four Weird Tales' to readers who enjoy atmospheric and thought-provoking supernatural fiction. Blackwood's ability to evoke a sense of dread and wonder makes this collection a must-read for fans of the gothic and supernatural genres.

Four of the best novellas from one of the most underrated names in horror and weird fiction. Writers such as H. P. Lovecraft rated Blackwood as one of the very best writers of the genre. This title features an introduction and notes contextualizing this characterful author. "It is my firm opinion that...The Willows is the greatest weird tale ever written." - H.P. Lovecraft From one of the greatest and most prolific authors of 20th century weird fiction come four of the very best strange stories ever told. In "The Willows," two men become stranded on an island in the Danube delta, only to find that they might be in the domain of some greater power from beyond the limits of human experience. "The Wendigo" features a hunting party in Ontario who begin to fear that they are being stalked by an entity thought to be confined to legend. In "The Man Whom the Trees Loved," a couple is driven apart as the husband is enthralled by the possessive and jealous spirits dwelling in the nearby forest. And lastly, in conversation with the occult detective and physician Dr. John Silence, a traveler relates his nightmarish visit to a strange town in Northern France, and the maddening secret from his past revealed by its inhabitants, in "Ancient Stories."

This book views the Dutch sinologist, Robert van Gulik’s Judge Dee mysteries as a hybrid East–West form of detective fiction and uses the concept of transculturation to discuss their hybrid nature with respect to their sources, production, and influence. The Judge Dee mysteries authored by Robert van Gulik (1910–1967) were the first detective stories to be set in ancient China. These hybrid narratives combine Chinese historical figures, traditional Chinese crime literature, and Chinese history and material culture with ratiocinative methods and psychoanalytic themes familiar from Western detective fiction. This new subject and detective image won a global readership, and the book discusses the innovations that van Gulik’s Judge Dee mysteries brought to both Chinese gong’an literature and Western detective fiction. Furthermore, it introduces contemporary writers from different countries who specialize in writing detective fiction or gong’an novels set in ancient China. The book will meet the interest of fans of Judge Dee stories throughout the world and will also appeal to both students and researchers of comparative literature, Chinese literature, and crime novels studies.
