The John Silence Collection - Algernon Blackwood

The skills of Sherlock Holmes and a psychic medium rolled into one!Dr Silence is an eccentric man of science, philanthropic by nature, who specializes in cases involving psychical problems. An authority on the occult after years of rigorous training, herein are six of his most unusual cases, including the story of the man who seeks to renew childhood memories while travelling through France, but instead stumbles upon a monastery of the dead; and the island camping trip that turns into a shapeshifting nightmare; a Roman stone 'laundry and a claustrophobic tunnel leading to a makeshift Egyptian tomb… just a glimpse of the six spellbinding tales from the grandmaster of supernatural fiction.
