Perhaps Blackwood's most celebrated story, The Willows was influenced heavily by his own trips down the Danube River. It tells the story of two campers who pick the wrong place to sleep for the night, a place where another dimension impinges on our own. H.P. Lovecraft considered this the finest supernatural tale in English literature.(P)2007 Listen and Live Audio, Inc. Horror Fiction Scary Classics Short Story Anthologies & Short Stories Anthologies
