Secret Worship Fantasy And Horror Classics

This stand-alone short story is one of Algernon Blackwood's masterful John Silence tales, exploring the strange and mysterious adventures of a psychic doctor. A silk merchant is traveling home through the perilous mountains of southern Germany when he decides to visit his old school. He fondly remembers the strict discipline and dedicated religious education he underwent at the school over 30 years ago, and how the system had shaped his life and brought him peace. Yet, the institution isn't all he remembers, and the merchant soon finds himself entrapped in a disturbing Brotherhood ritual. First published in 1908, Secret Worship is a chilling work of weird literature and a must-read for fans of classic horror.
