drset 's review for:
The Willows
by Algernon Blackwood
This short story takes place almost entirely in a small island on the middle of the Danube river in the span of two days.
Two longtime friends that periodically take long trips on wild lands decide to camp on an island for the night and are besiege by a strange force that damages their canoe and provisions.
The pair somehow convinces themselves that the culprit are beings from a parallel dimension that demand a sacrifice, and that won’t be able to reach them if they act normally and don’t thing about them.
The whole affair is somewhat forced and even silly at times, as if the protagonist were nothing more than hysterical children.
Lovecraft was inspired by this author, and that influence is shown clear in the style of the narrative.
