Jimbo's governess ought to have known better—but she didn't. If she had, Jimbo would never have met with the adventures that subsequently came to him. Thus, in a roundabout sort of way, the child ought to have been thankful to the governess; and perhaps, in a roundabout sort of way, he was. But that comes at the far end of the story, and is doubtful at best; and in the meanwhile the child had gone through his suffering, and the governess had in some measure expiated her fault; so that at this stage it is only necessary to note that the whole business began because the Empty House happened to be really an Empty House—not the one Jimbo's family lived in, but another of which more will be known in due course.

About the Author Algernon Blackwood (1869-1951) was born into a well-to-do Kentish family. His parents, converts to a Calvinistic sect, led an austere life, ill-suited to their dreamy and sensitive son. During adolescence, he became fascinated by hypnotism and the supernatural and, on leaving university, studied Hindu philosophy and occultism. Later, he was to draw on these beliefs and experiences in his writing. Sent away to Canada at the age of twenty, his attempts at making a living were wholly unsuccessful and shortly after his return to England, he began to write. The Empty House and Other Ghost Stories, published in 1906, was followed by a series of psychic detective stories, featuring John Silence, 'physician extraordinary'. His reputation as one of the greatest exponents of supernatural fiction began to grow. Chiefly known for his ghost stories, Blackwood wrote in many different forms within the genre. His most personal works, however, are his 'mystical' novels, for example The Centaur, where he explores man's empathy with the forces of the universe. Blackwood also wrote children's fiction. A Prisoner in Fairyland was adapted into the play (later the musical), Starlight Express. Later in life, Blackwood turned to writing radio plays, and in 1947 he began a new career on BBC TV telling ghost stories. He received a knighthood in 1949.

3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Gorgeous novel By Brett McCoy This is a gorgeously written short novel first published in 1909. It's a dark fantasy about an imaginative youngster who is severely injured and, while lost in unconsciousness, finds himself imprisoned by a dark monster and surrounded by the very strange and creepy Frightened Children. Highly recommended if you like dark, gothic fiction. I could certainly see something like this adapted for film by Tim Burton, although I daresay he would be quite tasked with capturing some of the beautiful scenery described in this novel.
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. tame fare for horror fans By jjamele for young readers. may be frightening to preschoolers though tame compared to lovecraft or stoker. gave up half way through but it had me going for awhile. worth poking around but is too repetitive to spend more time.
0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Finely crafted, psychological horror. By orbital chaos Very descriptive storytelling by this author: especially entertaining if you have ever wanted to be a bird or to fly. Takes you on a journey inside the mind of an unconscious boy who is trying make heads or tails of his internal journey and transitional healing. Blackwood carries us back into the see-saw perspective of a child who wants to have grown-up feelings, but who doesn't have the capability yet, making the psychological landscape hard to navigate. The book also pulls at the heartstrings as the child has made a connection that he doesn't want to leave.
