About this listen

 Perhaps Blackwood's most celebrated story, The 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.(P)2007 Listen and Live Audio, Inc. Anthologies Anthologies & Short Stories Classics Horror Scary Fiction Short Story

a fun and different weird tale from what I've read or listened to and is rightly respected, the descriptors and dialog are well written and it is performed very well.
the audio gets a little fuzzy for the last 30 minutes but doesn't harm the performance too much.
well worth a listen.

a good listen for a short while
