The Willows by Algernon Blackwood
In this classic novella of supernatural horror, two friends embark on a canoe trip down the Danube River. As they journey through a remote and desolate area known as the willows, they encounter an oppressive and otherworldly atmosphere that increasingly fills them with unease. The landscape, dominated by menacing willow bushes, seems to harbor a mysterious and malevolent force that defies the laws of nature and reality. The travelers' skepticism and rationality are challenged as they face inexplicable events, and they must confront the possibility that ancient and powerful entities might exist beyond the realm of human understanding, threatening their sanity and survival.
