The Willows: Hermes Publica Classic Horror Collection

In The Willows , Algernon Blackwood takes you to a place where nature’s beauty hides something deeply unsettling. Two friends embark on a canoe journey down the remote Danube, only to find themselves on an island that feels disturbingly alive. The trees whisper with an eerie intent, shadows twist unnaturally, and an unseen force presses against their minds—just waiting to take them. There’s a suffocating dread to Blackwood’s world, one that makes you doubt the land beneath your feet and the air you breathe. The Willows is a horror story without monsters, a haunting without reason, a descent into a madness only nature herself could devise. Blackwood dares you to experience fear beyond the human realm, to come face to face with an ancient, incomprehensible power lurking just out of sight.
