Description

This classic ghost story is set on the isolated islands of Orkney as a man runs from the horrors he encountered in the North American wilderness.

Jim Peace returns to his brother, Tom, and their childhood home in the Orkneys after spending 30 years working in Canada. Despite the comforting familiarity of the islands, something has changed within Jim, and he attempts to conceal his deteriorating state of mind from his brother and friends. As a heavy storm hits, Jim becomes transfixed by a pack of wolves only he can see, and Tom grows increasingly concerned for his brother's health.

This classic short story by Algernon Blackwood was first published in his 1921 collection, The Wolves of God and Other Fey Stories, and is not to be missed by fans of classic horror literature.
