konechno_kotoriy 's review for:
The Willows
by Algernon Blackwood
I read this in tandem with Blackwood’s The Wendigo, and while they both were amazing in terms of creating a tense environment and building a horror-filled atmosphere, I think The Wendigo has an edge on this front. I felt the vast majority of this novella was spent describing how nature itself was vast and horrific, and spent too little time on the “other beings” themselves. However, I appreciated the open ending of this one more than in The Wendigo, I thought the call back to the otter was a nice nod to the horror from earlier in the novella and allowed the reader to come to their own conclusions.
