The Willows

Perhaps Blackwood's most celebrated story, "Thw Willows" was influenced heavily by his own trips down the Danube River. It tells the story of two campers who pick the wrong place to sleep for the night, a place where another dimension impinges on our own. H.P. Lovecraft considered this the finest supernatural tale in English literature.

The Willows

Two friends are midway on a canoe trip down the Danube River. Throughout the story Blackwood personifies the surrounding environment-river, sun, wind-and imbues them with a powerful and ultimately threatening character. Most ominous are the masses of dense, desultory, menacing willows, which 'moved of their own will as though alive, and they touched, by some incalculable method, my own keen sense of the horrible.'

Algernon Blackwood (Author), David Mccord (Narrator)

The Willows

H.P. Lovecraft considered The Willows to be "the finest supernatural tale in English Literature", and its appeal is obvious. In his tale of an adventurous duo who embark on a seemingly innocuous river trip down the Danube, Blackwood personifies the desolate willows to be ominous, alive, and menacing. The river itself brims with human passions, and the elemental winds and heavenly forces all combine to create a sense of a supernatural intelligence orchestrating it all. ¶ The result is a splendid novella that paved a significant path in the world of weird fiction and cosmic horror. You don't want miss this unparalleled trip down the ancient, haunted Danube.
