About this listen
Algernon Blackwood’s The Willows is a tale of creeping dread set along the shifting banks of the Danube, where two travelers find themselves stranded on a remote island overwhelmed by sinister willow trees. As the river swells and the land erodes beneath them, they become aware of an unseen, inhuman presence pressing against the fragile boundaries of their world. The natural landscape itself seems animated with hostile intent, its whispering branches and ceaseless currents hinting at cosmic forces beyond comprehension. The story unfolds as a haunting meditation on the smallness of human existence before the vast, indifferent mysteries of the universe.
