First published in 1907, Algernon Blackwood’s The Willows is widely regarded as one of the greatest supernatural tales ever written—a masterpiece of cosmic dread and quiet terror. Two friends, journeying by canoe along the remote Danube River, find themselves marooned on a small, shifting island where the wind whispers through the willows with a voice not of this world. As the river swells and the landscape seems to breathe, they come to suspect that the wilderness itself is alive—and aware of them.
