Strangely moving

Although I was not so fond of some of the stories, they are, as a whole, strangely moving. I cannot entirely account for it: the story lines are not so strong, yet the reading usually had an effect on me. Taylor delivers the text extremely well. That helps, My guess is that Blackwood believes in the reality of the mysterious and this comes through (he was in the HMO and had a coherent view of the supernatural). For instance, the idea of the Wendigo is silly, and full of holes. Yet, it has made an impression on many people, myself included, probably because he conjures up an eerie picture and maintains it.
