Perhaps Blackwood's most celebrated story, The Willows was influenced heavily by his own trips down the Danube River. It tells the story of two campers who pick the wrong place to sleep for the night, a place where another dimension impinges on our own. H.P. Lovecraft considered this the finest supernatural tale in English literature.(P)2007 Listen and Live Audio, Inc. Anthologies Anthologies & Short Stories Classics Horror Scary Fiction Short Story

Gripping story, and an excellent example of pre-Lovecraft horror. About 3/4 of the way through the recording suddenly loses some quality, but the emotion and cadence of the narrator are otherwise excellent. Highly recommend.

Great example of pre-Lovecraft cosmic horror
