About Caroline Blackwood

Caroline was brought up in the small town of Clandeboye, deep in the countryside of Co, Down, which comes with its own manmade lake shaped like a shamrock. Later on, Blackwood saw her childhood home as a house of horrors and she left Northern Ireland to go to London aged eighteen. She would then get a job at the Picture Post magazine in the English capital, which is where she would develop her writing. In addition to working extensively in journalism, Blackwood published more than ten works across a wide range of interests. “Great Granny Webster” by Caroline Blackwood is a memoir-like novella that has sometimes been called a gothic Freudian shaggy dog tale.
