| Summary | "Day and Night Stories" by Algernon Blackwood is a collection of short stories written in the early 20th century. The book explores the complexities of human emotions and relationships, often delving into themes of love, memory, and the supernatural. Each story is set against a backdrop that reflects both the beauty and the mystery of life, drawing readers into a world where the everyday intersects with the extraordinary. The opening of the first story, "The Tryst," introduces a man who is returning to a familiar place after fifteen years away, filled with anticipation and nostalgia for a past love. As he makes his way back to the garden gate where he once promised to meet her, he wrestles with his emotions and memories of their youthful romance. This initial chapter sets the stage for a poignant exploration of longing and the passage of time, as the protagonist reflects on both the changes in himself and the love he so fiercely holds onto, only to face an unexpected and chilling revelation at the end of his journey.
