The Willows

Two travelers set out on a canoe journey along a lonely stretch of the Danube. At first the trip feels peaceful. Soon the vast wilderness around them begins to feel strange and unsettling, as if the landscape itself is watching.

What follows is a slow rise of tension as the river carries them deeper into a place where the ordinary rules of the world seem to fade.

Algernon Blackwood’s The Willows is a classic tale of the supernatural, known for its eerie atmosphere and its sense that something vast and unknown waits just beyond human understanding.
