The Bright Messenger by Algernon Blackwood ~ Full Audiobook [fantasy]

The Bright Messenger by Algernon Blackwood audiobook.

Genre: fantasy

In this moody, metaphysical novel from master of the uncanny Algernon Blackwood, Dr. Edward Fillery, a psychologist with an unusual sensitivity to hidden currents in the human mind, is drawn into a case that defies ordinary diagnosis. At a discreet Spiritual Clinique he and his colleague Paul Devonham take in a young man with a baffling double life: at times he seems a simple, gentle country youth, and at others something vast and unaccountable shines through him - a presence Fillery names only by initials, as if language itself cannot hold it. As the doctors argue over what is illness and what might be evolution, fragments of the patient's past emerge: a remote upbringing, an eccentric mentor, and a devotion to natural forces that feels older than civilization. The closer Fillery comes to understanding the young man's divided consciousness, the more the surrounding world begins to tilt, as friends, patients, and skeptics alike are forced to confront the possibility that personality is not a closed room but a door. Part psychological inquiry, part occult romance, The Bright Messenger asks what humanity may become if the boundaries between the everyday self and the larger universe grow thin.
