H.P. Lovecraft considered The Willows to be "the finest supernatural tale in English literature", and its appeal is obvious. In his tale of an adventurous duo who embark on a seemingly innocuous river trip down the Danube, Blackwood personifies the desolate willows to be ominous, alive, and menacing. The river itself brims with human passions, and the elemental winds and heavenly forces all combine to create a sense of a supernatural intelligence orchestrating it all.

The result is a splendid novella that paved a significant path in the world of weird fiction and cosmic horror. You don't want miss this unparalleled trip down the ancient, haunted Danube.

I’ve seen this book recommended time and time again for horror and I can’t say it lived up to that hype. The story is fine, it’s slower burn horror/suspense but nothing so defining to warrant as many times as I’ve seen it brought up. The narration is fine but there is something about the cadence or inflection that is so deliberate that I always noticed it and it brought me out of the story.
