Beskrivelse
First published in 1907, this is Algernon Blackwood's first collection of short stories, and it takes on what is probably the oldest theme in horror fiction: the haunted house. The Empty House contains 10 stories, all of which feature mysterious, brooding locales: it's not impossible that the opening of the title story, which I quote at the beginning, could have inspired the famous beginning of Shirley Jackson's later novel, The Haunting of Hill House.
