I thought this was much more effective a story than The Wendigo. The threat felt more real, and the buildup and tension were well done. I was still not impressed with the narrator.

Cosmic horror novella. Very atmospheric. Fear of the unknown can be the most gripping fear.

Our narrator looking at some trees: "idk, man, the vibes are OFF"

I'm realising Blackwood is great at creating an intense level of dread and almost suffocating sense of fear that leaves you questioning what is real. The imagery of the hollows will stay with me!
