This exquisitely-written tale of horror strikes a spiritual chord, haunting us to make us feel in peril for our soul. And that only makes sense, doesn't it? The Centaur climaxes with a traveller's sight of a herd of the mythical creatures.
Author Biography
Algernon Henry Blackwood (1869 - 1951) was an English short story writer and novelist, one of the most prolific writers of ghost stories in the history of the genre. He was also a journalist and a broadcasting narrator. S. T. Joshi has stated that "his work is more consistently meritorious than any weird writer's except Dunsany's" and that his short story collection Incredible Adventures (1914) "may be the premier weird collection of this or any other century."
