About the author

Algernon Blackwood

Algernon Blackwood was an English writer who created some of the most luminously strange supernatural horror fiction in the language. The Willows, praised by Lovecraft as the finest supernatural story ever written, transforms a canoe trip down the Danube into a terrifying encounter with inhuman forces. His nature-based mysticism gives his horror fiction a distinctive spiritual quality.
