Synopsis "Incredible Adventures"

Incredible Adventures is a collection by Algernon Blackwood, comprising four novellas and a story. H. P. Lovecraft wrote that: In the volume titled Incredible Adventures occur some of the finest tales which the author has yet produced, leading the fancy to wild rites on nocturnal hills, to secret and terrible aspects lurking behind stolid scenes, and to unimaginable vaults of mystery below the sands and pyramids of Egypt; all with a serious finesse and delicacy that convince where a cruder or lighter treatment would merely amuse. Some of these accounts are hardly stories at all, but rather studies in elusive impressions and half-remembered snatches of dream. Plot is everywhere negligible, and atmosphere reigns untrammelled. Contains the following stories: THE REGENERATION OF LORD ERNIE, THE SACRIFICE, THE DAMNED, A DESCENT INTO EGYPT, WAYFARERS.
