The Empty House and Other Ghost Stories

by Algernon Blackwood

A collection of stories in which very ordinary settings, an empty house, a country walk, quietly reveal they were never as empty as assumed. Blackwood believed the supernatural lived mostly in attention rather than in special locations. Read one story at a sitting; they are built to leave a small, lingering unease rather than a single shock.
