Publisher's Synopsis
The Willows is a classic horror novella written by Algernon Blackwood. It was first published in 1907 and has since become a seminal work in the genre. The story follows two friends, the narrator and his companion, as they embark on a canoe trip down the Danube River. Along the way, they encounter a series of eerie and unsettling phenomena, including strange noises, inexplicable visions, and a growing sense of dread. As they approach a remote island surrounded by a dense thicket of willow trees, the atmosphere becomes increasingly oppressive and sinister. The two men soon find themselves at the mercy of powerful and malevolent forces, and must fight for their lives against an ancient and otherworldly evil. The Willows is a masterful work of horror fiction that explores themes of isolation, fear, and the unknown.
