The Willows

Algernon Blackwood

3.95 AVERAGE


I read this because of the note at the end of Kingfisher’s The Hollow Places

This was very good. The atmosphere definitely gave me the tense feelings the narrator and the Swede felt during this whole ordeal

At the end of reading this I really wanted more of the The Willows and then realized I did get that with my previous read so definitely check The Hollow Places if you enjoyed this

Marvellously atmospheric and enigmatic.

I only wanted to read this because I really enjoyed the Hollow Places by T.Kingfisher but unfortunately I didn't like the original as much. It was very slow and not as atmospheric as I thought it would be.
