Here Skale, the housekeeper Mrs. Mawle and her niece, Miriam, have been pursuing a new science, harnessing sound to discover the true names of people - and recording the uncanny phenomena and transformations that this naming ritual brings in the subject. With possibilities of mind-melding and sublime spiritual awakenings already documented, it is not long before Skale pivots towards a grander master plan to intone a forbidden name beyond the preserve of humanity - while a gathering storm of disastrous cosmic consequences threatens to break.First published in 1910 but lost for most of the twentieth century, Blackwood's tour-de-force novel is long overdue rediscovery.Featuring a new, incisive introduction from one of the foremost experts on Blackwood, Mike Ashley.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 190mmItem Length: 130mmAuthor: Algernon BlackwoodContributor: Mike Ashley (Introduction by)Genre: FictionTopic: HorrorBook Series: Tales of the WeirdRelease Year: 2024 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
