The two set up camp in this isolated region, only to discover that they are not alone. The River takes the men past the cities of Vienna and Budapest to “a region of singular loneliness and desolation, where its waters spread away on all sides regardless of a main channel, and the country becomes a swamp for miles upon miles, covered by a vast sea of low willow-bushes.” “The Willows” tells the story of two men’s ill-fated canoe trip along the Danube River. To make up for that oversight, I’d like to discuss what is perhaps Blackwood’s most famous work, “ The Willows.” Somehow I neglected to include Algernon Blackwood in that listing, despite Blackwood’s being one of the luminaries of the genre.
Three weeks ago, I suggested some authors that anyone new to weird fiction may want to check out.
