书籍简介

 阿尔杰农-布莱克伍德（Algernon Blackwood）是一位伟大的奇异小说家，他从一个鬼故事作家发展成为宇宙恐怖小说和自然哥特小说等新兴小说模式的先驱大师。布莱克伍德的故事背景从阴森恐怖的北部森林到埃及沙漠的神秘沙地，他模糊了人类与非人类、活人与死人之间的界限，召唤读者进入陌生的边界地带，那里潜伏着外来力量，伺机闯入我们的世界。

这本全新的布莱克伍德短篇小说选集是迄今为止对其作品进行评论的版本。书中收录了《The Wendigo》、《The Willows》和《Ancient Sorceries》等无可争议的作品，以及《The Man Whom the Trees Loved》和《A Descent into Egypt》两部极具震撼力的长篇小说，还有其他十部长篇和短篇小说，均选自布莱克伍德漫长写作生涯中的作品集。亚伦-沃思（Aaron Worth）的注释将这些故事与布莱克伍德本人在维多利亚时代福音派家庭中的成长经历相结合，并与帝国晚期的英国历史和现代生态思想的兴起等主题相联系。

 The great novelists of the strange and weird, Algernon Blackwood evolved from a teller of spectre stories to a pioneering master of like emergent fictional modes as cosmic horror and nature Gothic. In tales whose settings range from the eerie North Woods to the mysterious sands of the Egyptian desert, Blackwood blurs the boundaries between human and nonhuman, living and mortality, beckoning the reader into strange borderlands where alien forces lurk, waiting for the chance to break through into our world.

This new selection of Blackwood's shorter fiction constitutes the critical edition of his work to date. Included here are like undisputed classics as 'The Wendigo', 'The Willows', and 'Ancient Sorceries', as well as two unsettling novellas, 'The Man Whom the Trees Loved' and 'A Descent into Egypt', and ten other stories short and long, drawn from collections spanning Blackwood's long writing career. Aaron Worth's notes situate these tales in the context of Blackwood's own upbringing in an evangelical Victorian household, as well as in relation to like topics as late-imperial British history and the emergence of modern ecological thought.
