Algernon Blackwood’s best known novella, “The Willows,” is considered by H.P. Lovecraft to be the finest supernatural tale in English literature and is an example of early modern horror and weird fiction.
When two friends take a break from a canoe trip down the River Danube, they discover the corpse of a peasant in the woods. Returning to their canoe, they find their oars missing, and as night sets in, a general sense of creepiness and unease permeates the wild, rural, and ultimately threatening environment.
