Ten Minute Stories by Algernon Blackwood (1869 - 1951), published 1914, appears to contain a number of short stories that have not yet been recorded for LibriVox. I haven't read them (not PD for me), so I don't know whether they are in the usual ghostly genre.

This is a list I have been working on of Algernon Blackwood’s unrecorded short weird fiction. I based this list off of Wikipedia’s list https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algernon_Blackwood#Weird_fiction and as far as I can tell there are approximately 108 Blackwood stories that fall within the weird fiction genre and 46 of those stories have been recorded already for Librivox. All of these stories in this list were published 1922 or earlier. This list is a work in progress and I will update it and remove stories as they get read and added to the catalog. This is the link for the current Librivox "Short Ghost and Horror Story Collection" for those who would like to contribute readings to it viewtopic.php?f=19&t=56368

Great work!
I wonder if Lost! (according to Wikipedia 1st published in Living Age 14 Oct. 1922) is actually Lost in the Alps which you can find in that edition of Living Age here: http://hdl.handle.net/2027/hvd.hn46n6?urlappend=%3Bseq=121

I checked Blackwood's non-Weird tales list https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algernon_Blackwood#Children.27s_stories_and_non-Weird_tales and could not find "Lost In The Alps," I also read the piece and it does have a weird element to it so I think it would be safe to say that they are the same story. Cool find Ruth! I added the link to the story to the list
I think The Falling Glass may be in this volume of Country Life (p.722 or 725). I can't see it myself owing to copyright restrictions, but it may be viewable in the US.

Hello,
I don't know if RuthieG or Kadath are still keeping tags on this list, but if you are, I have just submitted "Imagination" by Algernon Blackwood to Short ghost and horror stories.
I hope this helps someone to keep this invaluable list up to date.
Many thanks for it,
Andy

Thanks for letting me know Andy! I removed Imagination from the list & there were actually a bunch more Blackwood stories that needed removed (I totally forgot about this list).
