Introduction Known as a 'psychic doctor', Dr John Silence is widely respected and admired.
A case requiring his special powers is out of the ordinary, intangible, and challenging, best described as a 'psychical affliction'. This collection of cases shows John Silence using all the skill and perception of a first-class psychic detective to resolve the afflictions of his patients.
In the book entitled John Silence, Physician Extraordinary, the renowned psychic investigator Dr John Silence investigates five cases. These vary from psychical invasions of long-dead residents to disturbing incidents involving lycanthropy (a form of madness that consists in believing that one is an animal), with a twist only Dr Silence could imagine.

About The Author Algernon Blackwood was a British writer who was born in London in 1869. His father was a barrister, and he attended Eton and Oxford. Initially, he worked as a journalist but later turned to writing fiction. In 1889, he published his first short story, and in 1911, his first novel, The Centaur. He wrote numerous ghost stories and supernatural tales that were immensely popular during his lifetime. It has been said that Blackwood's work is comparable to that of Edgar Allan Poe and Henry R. James, and he has long been considered as one of the great masters of the genre.

Throughout his career, Blackwood wrote over fifty novels and short stories. He is best known for his supernatural tales, which often contain eerie, otherworldly scenes. The stories he wrote were adapted for radio and television many times. Fans of horror and the supernatural continue to read and admire his work. Unfortunately, in 1951, he passed away.
