They include his first attempts to investigate alleged haunted houses, his association with such luminaries as W. B. Yeats, \"A.E.\", and Gurdjieff; his thoughts on telepathy, reincarnation, elemental spirits, other dimensions, and his beliefs in what lies beyond our normal perceptions. These writings reveal not only Blackwood's diverse experiences, but his depth of reading and analysis of the unexplained. Few of these essays have been reprinted beyond their first publication or their broadcast on radio and television. They provide another dimension to an understanding of one of the great writers of the supernatural.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Algernon Blackwood\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1783807660\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781783807666\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Swan River Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/05\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.46lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.81h x 5.06w x 0.48d","brand":"Algernon Blackwood","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44075755340031,"sku":"9781783807666","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_56de1809-2aa8-4c80-a904-d4133888410e.jpg?v=1685461249","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-lure-of-the-unknown-algernon-blackwood-9781783807666","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
