The Damned | Algernon Blackwood

3 posts | 3 read | 2 to read

Known as one of the key figures in the 'weird' horror movement that arose in England and the United States in the early twentieth century, Algernon Blackwood was known for inserting surprising, often sophisticated twists into his tales. The Damned tells the story of a haunted house whose supernatural activity stems from an unlikely source.

In this episode, I review the gothic ghost story "The Damned" by Algernon Blackwood.

Also, I touch on exactly what a residual haunting is.

The Damned | Algernon Blackwood

so-so

Just finished this and I admire it for its gothic atmosphere and theme. Due to its pacing and style, I doubt this work will go over well with mainstream audiences. However, it would swoon literature majors who love atmospheric, gothic horror. Although nothing ever happens, and the text blatantly stresses "nothing happens," the horror of this tale takes place on how one's imagination can run wild in a dreary atmosphere.
