No people but themselves there, watching the Danube rising over both banks, landing on an island after a vigorous effort, the two plan to rest on overnight. This most famous work of Blackwood’s is one of those classic short stories of weird horror mentioned alongside pieces by Lovecraft, Howard, Machen, Bierce, and Chambers as worthy of even a discerning reader.
The main plot of “The Willows” is about two long time friends who are taking a canoe trip down the Danube River.
Los sauces by Algernon Blackwood (2 star ratings)
This is a very good story by itself and Blackwood was a master of setting and intimate characterization. And see if the saucex I thought of is the ending we are given. We happen to have camped in a spot where their region touches ours, where the veil between has worn thin-horrors!
This story is still relevant today. But even more a different world exists, a hidden area, an evil place where we can’t get to but know it’s there.

Our thoughts make spirals in their world Blackood enjoyed how, once again, same as with The Man Whom the Trees LovedBlackwood pits Man against Nature but not in the usual way such as when people must cope with tornadoes, droughts, earthquakes, and floods.
Los Sauces 5 9 Sep 07, Algenron to Book Page. On the first page it clearly says: Maybe it’s truly Man fighting against himself and against his fears. The story works on many different levels and is ambiguous enough for the reader to draw his own conclusions or speculate on the nature of reality and whether knowledge of something is something to be feared more than the unknown.

He also wrote fourteen novels, several children’s books, and a number of plays, most of which were produced but not published. Lists with This Book. Soon, the narrator realizes that something is dreadfully wrong with the island. In the late s, Blackwood had a television program on the BBC on which he read.
In any event, after the setup is complete and we start descending into the otherworldly, the story starts to pick up pace, and by the time the concept is laid before us, I was deeply impressed by the insight and imagination with which the thing is handled.
Now to me, a short story and a novella isn’t the same thing and shouldn’t be called the same thing in the same book, and for no reason at all – it bugs me. In this story, the author has imparted ominous qualities to natural elements.

Los Sauces
The forces of the region drew nearer with the coming of night. It’s for the reader to determine what is loss and what isn’t, which is half the fun in the two books I’ve read by the author. Two men are attempting to canoe the entire course of the Danube as Blackwood himself had done until they are forced by high flood waters to take refuge on a tiny, crumbling, willow algenron island.
And alarmingly, his companion no longer seems to be the solid presence he once was, not enough to anchor him to reality.
A very difficult read for me. Return to Book Page. They decide to not risk further travel across the bursting river, and outwait the flood on a small, sandy island.
