 Blackwood confirms himself as an artist of the unsettling atmosphere: the description of the so-called "lost valley," a non-place where all the spirits disfavored by traditional religions find shelter, is something that remains in mind and will not leave "weird" lovers indifferent.

 The protagonists are two twins – Stephen and Mark – who live practically in symbiosis: each is emotionally involved in the life of the other.

The review highlights the recent revival of Algernon Blackwood's works in Italy, emphasizing his novella La valle perduta as a prime example of spiritual horror. Set in the wild Jura, the story explores the intense bond of twin brothers disrupted by a mysterious female presence. Blackwood's talent for creating unsettling atmospheres is praised, alongside the efforts of Dagon Press in publishing his works. Comparisons to Arthur Machen and thematic exploration of the God Pan add depth to the analysis. Explore the eerie world of Algernon Blackwood's La valle perduta and dive into the roots of spiritual horror today!
