Three More John Silence Stories by Algernon Blackwood presents further supernatural investigations of John Silence, a physician who confronts strange phenomena at the boundary between psychology and the occult. In the opening tale “Secret Worship,” Harris, a silk merchant, returns to the strict religious school of his youth in southern Germany and finds old memories stirring with an uneasy sense of dread. During his journey he encounters a Catholic priest whose hints about the school’s sinister history transform nostalgia into growing foreboding. The story gradually unfolds into a mystery where faith, memory, and hidden supernatural forces converge to reveal a darker reality beneath ordinary experience.
