Summary
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.
