The Damned

Read Time:48 Second

This is a retroactive blog post about The Damned by Algernon Blackwood. Original post here.

I just finished reading a kindle version of

The Damned (1914) by Algernon Blackwood ⭐⭐⭐⭐

This is a very engaging gothic horror story about a brother and sister who visits the sister’s friend in her mansion, but the mansion is not what it seems.

It kept me on the edge of my seat most of the time, though some of the imagery is a little hard to follow without reading over again; you should definitely be focused while reading this. If you aren’t, you won’t know what’s going on at all.
The story does a great job filling you with a strong sense of dread all the time they are in the house, the house in which “Nothing happens”, and is a great commentary on the detrimental psychological effects of dogmatic religion.
