Publisher's Synopsis
The Willows is a classic horror novella written by Algernon Blackwood, first published in 1907. The story follows two friends, the narrator and his companion, as they embark on a canoe trip down the Danube River. As they travel deeper into the wilderness, they become increasingly aware of the eerie and unsettling presence of the willow trees that line the riverbank. Strange and inexplicable events begin to occur, including ghostly apparitions and a sense of malevolent energy emanating from the willows themselves. As the two men struggle to survive in the face of these supernatural forces, they begin to realize that they are not alone in the wilderness and that the willows have a terrifying power over the natural world. The Willows is a masterful work of horror fiction that explores the boundaries between the natural and supernatural worlds and the dark forces that lie hidden within the natural world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
