Both The Glamour of Snow and The Man Who Found out are excellent examples of classic horror stories - the other two not so much. The Insanity of Jones, I found to be rather bland and a little on the dull side. As for Sands, the longest and most overwritten story in this collection, it nearly put me off seeking out anymore of Blackwood's works in the future. Eh, it passed a long bus journey.

The Insanity of Jones - A man seeks revenge for a wrong done to him in a previous life. Or he's crazy; take your pick.
The Man Who Found Out - What if there is a meaning to life, and it turns out to be depressing? Part of the Cosmic Joke school of thought.
The Glamour of Snow - A guy falls in love with nature and, surprise, nature doesn't care that much for him.
Sand - Well over half of the length of the book. Evidently an attempt to portray the inner landscape of a man who witnesses a ritual for summoning dark beings or whatnot. Algernon doesn't quite pull it off. ( )
