Algernon Blackwood (1869-1951) was an English novelist and short story writer, an occult researcher, a practicing magician and a member of The Ghost Club, The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. Blackwood used his extensive esoteric knowledge to write works that not only entertain but are filled with hidden themes and allegories concerning nature and the psychological and spiritual states of human condition. THE CENTAUR is one of his most profound works. It does not seek to frighten, as some of his ghost stories do, but rather to induce a sense of fascination and awe in the reader! He admitted to his close friends and admirers that THE CENTAUR was his favorite creation. This is a jewel for any collector of Algernon Blackwood.
