Pan's Garden a Volume of Nature Stories - Algernon Blackwood - Part 2

Titan of Weird Fiction Algernon Blackwood brings to us a captivating collection of stories that shows the power and glory of Nature and the reverence that must be given it. We see Nature as a character in and of itself, wild and untamed, demanding fealty and showing love and grace in equal measure. The gale force winds may embrace us in a cocoon of warmth and passion or it may tear us apart with unrelenting ferociousness. Snow may grace us with a staggering beauty that coats the land in a white wonderland while covertly luring us into the cold embrace of death. The ever shifting sands represent a desolate and isolating force that channels the phantasmagoric mysteries of ancient powers lurking within the world. Through Blackwood's lush and flowing prose, he transports us to otherworldly realms where Nature lives and breathes, benevolent and vengeful in equal measure. (Summary by Ben Tucker)
