Willows (version 2) |
---|
![]() "The Willows" is one of Algernon Blackwood's best known creepy stories. American horror author H.P. Lovecraft considered it to be the finest supernatural tale in English literature. He wrote in his treatise "Supernatural Horror in Literature", "Here art and restraint in narrative reach their very highest development, and an impression of lasting poignancy is produced without a single strained passage or a single false note." "The Willows" is an example of early modern horror and is connected within the literary tradition of weird fiction. |

Reviewer: John M - May 30, 2017 Subject: The Willows A classic. And like a number of other great tales by Blackwood-- "The Wendigo", "The Man Whom the Trees Loved"-- difficult to categorize neatly... this must be read all at one sitting for maximum effect, as the tension and weirdness build cumulatively. An indispensable element in any serious collection of weird literature. |
