The Man Who Found Out by Algernon Blackwood

2.75

A relatively boring story, not helped by a narrator's whose tone was that if one reading a jaunty Memoir rather than a haunting short story.

A short, simple, and elegant story in the Weird Fiction tradition as only Algernon Blackwood can write. It’s a story of a seeker of mystical wisdom who uncovers tablet which will answer all his biggest questions. Only, it turns out, he maybe would have been better off if they had been left unanswered. Maybe the world would have been better off. Certainly, the life of his assistant would have.

Great spooky fun than will leave you uncomfortable and unsettled in your own skin. And that’s exactly what Mr Blackwood was hoping for!

This kept me entertained and it was easy to follow. This would've easily been 4 stars but I feel like I want more from this story
