Wilfred Wilson

A little-known collaborator whose name survives through eerie early-20th-century fiction, he is best remembered for work gathered with Algernon Blackwood in a collection of uncanny tales. Very little biographical information appears to be firmly documented, which gives his author profile a mystery of its own.

About the author

Wilfred Wilson is a scarce figure in the historical record, and the clearest confirmed detail is his connection to The Wolves of God, and Other Fey Stories, a 1921 collection credited to Algernon Blackwood and Wilfred Wilson. The book links him with supernatural and folkloric fiction from the early 20th century.

Because reliable biographical sources on him are hard to find, it is difficult to say much more with confidence about his life, background, or wider body of work. In cases like this, his reputation rests less on a well-documented public career and more on the lingering interest readers have in strange fiction of the period.

That obscurity can be part of the appeal. For listeners drawn to forgotten names, weird tales, and the shadowy edges of literary history, Wilfred Wilson remains an intriguing presence.
