Description



About the Book



A collection of the stories of Blackwood, precursor of Lovecraft and early master of weird fiction and uncanny horror has been lavishly illustrated by the celebrated graphic artist Pope..



Book Synopsis



Algernon Blackwood was one of the first true masters of horror and weird fiction. This deluxe oversized slipcase hardcover, illuminated by illustrations from the brilliant designer and graphic storyteller Paul Pope, makes a powerful argument for his rightful place as one of the most important genre writers of the 20th century. It features the novella THE WILLOWS, four short stories spanning Blackwood's career, and an introduction by the renowned British horror writer Ramsey Campbell.



About the Author



ALGERNON BLACKWOOD (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 "his work is more consistently meritorious than any weird writer's except Dunsany's" and that his short story collection Incredible Adventures (1914) "may be the premier weird collection of this or any other century". H.P. Lovecraft said that "of the quality of Mr. Blackwood's genius there can be no dispute. [...] He is the one absolute and unquestioned master of weird atmosphere." His work has had an enormous impact on 20th century horror, fantasy, sci-fi and literary fiction. PAUL POPE (b.1970) is an American artist/designer living and working in New York City. He has been working primarily in comics and screenprinting since the early '90s, but has also done a number of projects with Italian fashion label Diesel Industries and, in the US, with DKNY. HIs recent collaboration with Errolson Hugh/Acronym for Nike's AF1 debuted spring 2017. His media clients include LucasArts, NBC, Disney, Cartoon Network, Marvel Comics, DC Comics, Conde-Naste, Kodansha (Japan), Sapporo (Japan), Dargaud Editions (France), EMI Canada, The Grateful Dead Estate, and The British Film Institute. His iconic Batman: Year 100, a science fiction take on the classic Batman origin tale, appears frequently on many Top 10 Batman story lists. In 2010 Pope was recognized as a Master Artist by the American Council Of The Arts. His short science fiction comic strip Strange Adventures (DC Comics)--an homage to the Flash Gordon serials of the '30s-- won the coveted National Cartoonist Society's Reuben Award for Best Comic Book of the year. He has won 5 Eisners to date. His latest book, Battling Boy, debuted at #1 on the New York Times best-seller list, his third book to hit the NYT Top 10. RAMSEY CAMPBELL (born 4 January 1946 in Liverpool) is an English horror fiction writer, editor and critic who has been writing for well over fifty years. Since he first came to prominence in the mid-1960s, critics have cited Campbell as one of the leading writers in his field: T. E. D. Klein has written that "Campbell reigns supreme in the field today", and Robert Hadji has described him as "perhaps the finest living exponent of the British weird fiction tradition", while S. T. Joshi stated, "future generations will regard him as the leading horror writer of our generation, every bit the equal of Lovecraft or Blackwood." He is the author of more than forty novels.
