I could not resist bringing you a new story for the spooky season. So, here is “With Intent to Steal” by Algernon Blackwood. Blackwood has a special place in my heart because he was a broadcast narrator! I also love his philosophy about horror and the human mind. He says: “My fundamental interest, I suppose, is signs and proofs of other powers that lie hidden in us all; the extension, in other words, of human faculty. I believe it possible for our consciousness to change and grow, and that with this change we may become aware of a new universe.” My favorite type of horror story always has something to do with the Supernatural. How about you? What’s your favorite kind of horror?
I know it’s been awhile since I gave you anything new. But you must know by now, that I love a good horror story!...
