Three More John Silence Stories
Secret worship -- The camp of the dog -- A victim of higher space.
Produced by Suzanne Shell, Dave Morgan and PG Distributed Proofreaders
"Three More John Silence Stories" by Algernon Blackwood is a collection of supernatural tales written during the early 20th century. The narratives focus on the character John Silence, a physician with a deep understanding of the occult and metaphysical realms, as he tackles cases filled with supernatural mysteries and psychological intrigue. These stories explore themes of spirituality, foreboding events, and the intersection between the human mind and darker forces, which promise to engage readers interested in psychological horror and the paranormal. The opening portion of "Secret Worship," the first case in the collection, introduces Harris, a silk merchant who takes an unexpected trip to revisit his old school in South Germany. As he journeys through the mountains, he reflects on his past experiences in a strict religious school, which evokes old memories and emotions, both nostalgic and unsettling. Upon arriving at the inn, he meets a Catholic priest who hints at a sinister past connected to the school. This initial setup hints at underlying tensions between faith and something darker, as the priest’s demeanor suggests that the former school is not what it seems. Harris’s recollection of his boyhood, alongside the ominous suggestion from the priest, sets the stage for escalating supernatural occurrences, leaving readers with a sense of foreboding about the mysteries that lie ahead.
