THE HUMAN CHORD
DAILY NEWS." There is a rush and a splendour about the whole narrative that sweeps the reader from his feet. . . . The Hitman Chord is a book to haunt and to inspire."
Mr. HILAIRE BELLOC in the WESTMINSTER GAZETTE. " No short notice of work of this description can do anymore than announce it ; it is not susceptible to analysis, or, for that matter, to description ; but it is work which could not have been done in any other country than England, nor perhaps in any other medium than English, and certainly not successfully done by any other author. It is unique, and should be a matter of national pride."
DAIL Y TELEGRAPH." The author has had, one may say, a stupendous idea, and he has carried it out with all the zeal and all the talent which is in him. . . . It is a wonderful tale."
and intense, Mr. Blackwood's
story captivates the reader."
GUARDIAN. "No writer of the present day has so keen a sense of the supernatural as Mr. Blackwood. It amounts to genius. He creates his atmosphere, and, having found it, he keeps it. He never makes a mistake or strikes a jarring note. In his present novel he reaches a height not previously attained ; he touches on deeper problems, and is perhaps more arresting than he has ever been."
GLOBE. " The Human Chord is a singularly arresting book, in a sense defying description and analysis. To read it is to live in the mind of an author steeped in the mystic and believing in the unseen things of which he writes."
