The Willows — Chapter One | Algernon Blackwood

Two travelers canoeing down the Danube leave civilization behind and enter an immense wilderness of shifting islands, violent waters, and endless willow-covered marshes.

Their campsite appears peaceful at first—but as darkness approaches, something about the landscape begins to feel deeply wrong.

The willows seem almost alive.

A mysterious boatman attempts to warn them.

And beneath the roar of the wind and river grows the unsettling realization that they may have crossed into a place where human beings do not belong.

Tonight on Midnight Murmurs, we begin Algernon Blackwood’s supernatural horror classic, The Willows.
