The Listener and Other Stories eBook Algernon Blackwood Finn JD John
While I applaud any actual reprinting of Blackwood's original anthologies (although all may be freely available online), it should not be too much to expect a simple albeit essential Table of Contents, which is curiously absent in this book; and that being:The Listener [p. 3]
Max Hensig -- Bacteriologist and Murderer [p. 29]
The Willows [p. 75]
The Insanity of Jones: A Study in Reincarnation [p. 121]
The Dance of Death [p. 145]
The Old Man of Visions [p. 155]
May Day Eve [p. 165]
Miss Slumbubble -- and Claustrophobia [p. 187]
The Woman's Ghost Story [p. 203]
Other than that unusual and inexcusable omission, this edition appears just fine.
UPDATE::
Stark House Press is due to release their print of Blackwood's _The Empty House, &c._ along with _The Listener, &c._ in Spring 2014. I bought all other Blackwood anthologies from them --- highly recommended.
