The Willows

Summary

In Algernon Blackwood's "The Willows," two friends are swept into a chilling voyage down the River Danube, where the elements seem eerily alive. As the wind whispers, shadows contort, and willows throb with menace, they grapple with encroaching terror and a friendship under strain. Engulfed by the supernatural, they touch the brink of an "unearthly" dimension, a haunting realm where reality intertwines with the spirits of the willows themselves. This masterpiece uncovers the terror of the unknown and nature's sublime power.
