It is really garbage, and has nothing of the quality or substance that makes Blackwood great, but on the lowest bottom level it is basically the same story. The episode can be seen 36 minutes into "Tales That Witness Madness" on Youtube.

If they started rolling a camera in front of him, really, much more of it should be available, somewhere.<br /><br />It is persons like HIM we want to see and hear! Even if the image is black & white and blurry.Knygathinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15368207286922295729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4641755242350379907.post-70608257056866549552011-12-07T15:39:23.041-05:002011-12-07T15:39:23.041-05:00Thank you, Douglas!

The Machen clip (supposedly the only recording of his voice to survive) is three and a half minutes. There is also a seven minute clip of Blackwood doing "Pistol Against a Ghost" from 1948. And the CD Douglas A.

Algernon Blackwood is my favorite writer of weird fiction (with Arthur Machen running a close second) and I had never seen him in motion or heard his voice before!<br /><br />Do you have a link for the audio of Arthur Machen? I'd love to hear it if it was available. Thanks again.Alfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10958067552460104971noreply@blogger.com
