A psychical invasion -- Ancient sorceries -- The nemesis of fire. Suzanne Shell, Dave Morgan and PG Distributed Proofreaders "Three John Silence Stories" by Algernon Blackwood is a collection of supernatural fiction written in the early 20th century. This volume features the eccentric Dr. John Silence, a psychic doctor with an extraordinary understanding of the human spirit and its afflictions. The stories delve into the realms of the unknown and the occurrences of psychical invasions, exploring how Dr. Silence employs his unique talents to help those afflicted by unexplainable phenomena. The opening of "A Psychical Invasion," the first story in the collection, introduces Dr. John Silence as he converses with a Swedish lady named Mrs. Sivendson, who seeks his assistance with a peculiar case involving a humorist, Felix Pender. Pender, once a talented writer of comedies, has suddenly lost his gift for humor and is plagued by an overwhelming sense of fear that he cannot articulate. As Mrs. Sivendson recounts Pender's strange experiences, Silence learns that the author believes a malevolent presence is haunting him, stifling his creativity and replacing his joy with dread. Intrigued, Dr. Silence prepares to meet Pender and investigate the source of this psychological turmoil, setting the stage for a remarkable exploration of psychic disturbances and the unseen forces at play in our lives.
