I feel like it's my charge that everyone should hear from me at least once that their lives are incomplete until finding Algernon Blackwood in some form. Read him. Do it now, or I judge you.

Overall, good stories, but nothing that really appealed to me.
The Regeneration of Lord Ernie was interesting.
The Sacrifice was kind of bizarre. I don't think I got the point.
The Damned was ok? I guess.
A Descent into Egypt was interesting, but I didn't get the point.
Wayfarers was interesting, but didn't do much for me.

I read The Regeneration of Lord Ernie. It certainly wasn't *bad* but for me personally I just found the descriptions too long winded - you could reasonably cut half of it and I wouldn't feel like I'd missed much. I think part of the problem is I just really can't get a good mental image from all the descriptions - I find them quite repetitive even when he's describing things changing. The Willows suffers from this problem a bit but I felt the uniqueness of some of the images really lingered with me. This one not so much.
