    I'm going to be getting a book with three short stories of Algernon blackwood's. So is his writing atmospheric and creepy?

    Yes he is atmospheric, but he is not very 'modern'. In fact, he's pretty pulpish. If you like writers like H.P. Lovecraft, August Derleth, Robert E. Howard, or Edgar Allen Poe then I'd say check him out, but if not then I wouldn't really suggest him.
