About the author
Wilfred Wilson is a little-documented author whose name survives chiefly through The Wolves of God and Other Fey Stories (1921), a story collection credited to Algernon Blackwood and Wilfred Wilson. Public-domain and catalog records confirm his co-authorship, but readily available biographical details about his life are scarce.
That scarcity makes Wilson unusual among early 20th-century writers: the book is clear, but the person behind the byline remains hard to pin down. For readers, that can be part of the appeal—his name is attached to strange, supernatural, and wilderness-tinged fiction that has continued to circulate through later reprints, library catalogs, and audiobook archives.
Because reliable sources found here do not provide a fuller life story, it is safest to remember Wilfred Wilson as an obscure collaborator whose reputation rests on this haunting collection and its long afterlife among readers of classic weird fiction.
