When he returned to England, he produced around twenty stories, most of which formed the basis for his next collection, \u003cem\u003eThe Lost Valley, \u003c\/em\u003e published by Eveleigh Nash in June, 1910. Here are supernatural nature mysteries, ghost stories and visions galore--tales of loss and redemption, and the horror of the unknown--taking the reader from the stark terror of \"The Wendigo\" and \"Old Clothes\" to the light of hope in \"Carlton's Drive\" and the spiritual finale, \"The Eccentricity of Simon Parnacute.\" \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTHE WOLVES OF GOD\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBy 1920, Blackwood had recovered from the depression of the First World War, and began writing again with a renewed zest, inspired to some degree by his explorer friend, Wilfrid Wilson, to whom he gave co-credit for the 1921 collection, \u003cem\u003e The Wolves of God\u003c\/em\u003e, though all the stories were by Blackwood.
