"The Willows" is a horror novella by Algernon Blackwood, published in 1907.
The story follows two friends on a canoe trip down the River Danube, where
they encounter mysterious and malevolent forces in the surrounding
environment. The willows, in particular, are characterized as sinister and
threatening. The precise nature of these entities is unclear, but they are
contrasted with the natural beauty of the area. The story has been influential
on later writers and is considered one of Blackwood's best works. Horror
author H.P. Lovecraft considered it to be the finest supernatural tale in
English literature. The novella has been praised for its art and restraint in
narrative, producing a lasting impression without a single strained book or
false note. "The Willows" has been adapted into various forms, including a
magazine and a novel.
