Summary

"The Willows" by Algernon Blackwood is a spine-chilling horror story that takes place in the early 1900s. It tells the story of two friends on a canoe trip along the Danube River who wander into a creepy area filled with lonely marshes and a strong sense of nature. As they paddle deeper into the wilderness, the story turns sinister, and they come face to face with an old, powerful force that seems to wake up because they're there. Their journey turns into a scary fight for survival against something they can't understand, which messes with their minds and puts their lives in danger.

About the Author

Algernon Henry Blackwood, CBE was an English broadcasting narrator, journalist, novelist and short story writer, and among the most prolific ghost story writers in the history of the genre. The literary critic S. T. Joshi stated, "His work is more consistently meritorious than any weird writer's except Dunsany's" and that his short story collection Incredible Adventures (1914) "may be the premier weird collection of this or any other century".
